A sitting president is usually unopposed in his party primaries.
May be the GOP coulda nominated Gingrich or Palin or Santorium

montelik: Both conventions were dull. But considering the tough economic conditions and weather concerns, its understandable they were a little muted. On a whole I thought the conventions didn't do much for either candidate. But Romney needed a good convention more than Obama, particularly when you look at his favor-ability numbers and polling struggles against a severely wounded incumbent. Besides the debates, he wont have any moments of free and high exposure airtime to make a significant impression before the election.

For me the best speakers and speeches at the respective conventions were Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton at the DNC. Susana Martinez and Rand Paul/Marco Rubio at the RNC. Obama got the best from his primetime speakers, Romney didn't. Chris Christie's keynote was good but not particularly convincing at all, it didn't move the needle for Romney, unlike Clinton so brilliantly did for Obama. Ann Romney was also good, but not enough. Michelle outperformed her easily.

Christie isn't big rally speaker, he does better when operating in an interactive setting, especially when he has the bully pulpit. He isn't a story teller like a Rubio, neither does he have sufficient charisma.

armyofone: for me the speaker i will never forget in a hurry was Jennifer Granholm
wow, that was like sipping/drinking Vodka mix with some Jack Daniel. Very Fireful

and the Clinton's simple Arithmetic for PreK or first graders

Jesoul welcome back
Pres, kedu

[size=13pt] Lol !!! I loved Jen's speech, she was fired up and got the crowd really excited. I felt she had some sips of . . . before she stepped on stage. Old mama youngie with so much action . I also liked J.Catsro's, van Hollen's, T. Strickland's, Michelle, Barack and of course, the big dog himself, B. Clinton. I missed parts of the convention in time spent on the road rushing home. Missed Debbie's W. Schultz's speech, I like her for her stubbornness and willingness to fight anyone from the opposition .
Charlotte was all about bringing facts to light and Tampa was about propagating lies. [/size]

Charlotte:
San-Antonio mayor-superb
Mrs Obama- superb
Nuns on the run bus- fresh air
Billy the priapic master- masterly
Barrack H Obama- classy
Verdit: excellent convention

Effects:
Tampa bounce 1% for less than a week
Charlotte bounce >4% especially @ battle ground states including a 5 point lead in Florida, 7 point lead in Ohio, 4 point lead in Virginia. Leads in colorado, narrow lead(statistical tie) in Iowa etc

But it's just September

Finally Romney embarrased himself in the wake of the Islam video crisis
Obama showed class. He gave Egypt the cold shoulders, then called the Egyptian president and next we heard was Egyptian police chasing away all rioters from the embassy.

it's just September.

Honestly I have big problems to handle

and I don't care much this year especially as I believe Romney is a reasonable person too( unlike goongrinch, santaroost, michelle bachmad, and all them lunatics lining up for attention)
I believe Romney is just talking trash to win the elections. IF he wins he will be reasonable. IF he wins.

Me I de find food to chop. Na look I de look them

Jesoul stop disturbing Jesus in every little debate
And by the way, if he said the poor will always be there, did he say they will always be hungry? Huh jesoul
Leave Jesus alone, he has bigger issues to deal with. Don't bother him with pres-elects liberal expressions

And yes the public option and other liberal issues will be paid for with the money recovered by ending your useless wars. How many kids have been killed in Afghanistan this month? How muh has been spent in that nonsense. Use te money from Iraq and afghan wars to fund public option, Medicare etc

I'm sure you are better off this year than four war ago when you were worried u may be laid off in the heat o the crisis. But you won't admit it, that's okay.

Free fall of the US economy stopped
Health reform done
Equal pay for women done
Open military service for LGBT done
Osama Bin Jesoul Linda Laden silenced forever
Iraq war ended
4 million jobs created. In the middle of a harsh recession. How many did bush create in 8 yrs?
Hope say u dey count am o.

You say liberals live in dream world huh? In 1968, Bobby kennedy predicted there would be a black president in 40yrs. Fast forward 40yrs. Obama's election. We live in dream world. If you're looking for psycho dreamers, don't look far. Uncle goongrinch is close by

JeSoul: Spoken like a true Nancy Pelosi-ish, MSNBC watchin', green leaf waving Liberal. Deflect, and throw around relatively irrelevant catch-phrases in hopes to avoid confronting the shallow-ness of your stance & hope to discombobulate the opposition. Ah I have missed you! lol Try again!

Meanwhile, read up on this article published just today actually. Plenty of insight on problems with American healthcare and how simply throwing more money at the situation will NOT solve it. Until people are made to take personal responsibility for their behaviors (healthwise, socialwise, financialwise etc etc) we will continue to have problems.

Health care costs to bulge along with U.S. waistlines
