I would love to see it.. the entertainment value would be priceless. If this was their ticket... Obama could have the ratings of Bush at their lowest.. and still win by a landslide. You could bet most of our more vociferous Bush supporters here would vote this for that clusterfuck of a ticket though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChangoLanzao 0 #7 November 27, 2009 Quote That would be great! It would be like christmas all year for comedians. Be careful what you wish for I remember having the same attitude in the late seventies, when Ronald "guvment is the problem" Reagan was considering a run for President, after he had totally devastated California state government. I thought his running would ensure that the Democrats would win because Americans couldn't be so stupid as to elect the guy for President. Well, it turned out very badly, indeed. Palin/Beck need to be taken seriously. The strangest things can happen in politics, especially in times like these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think there's a huge portion that believe Reagan devastated California. The economics of the 70s were pretty rough for everything. Carter, as President, got blamed for the entire nation's problems. Even if your belief were widespread, Reagan could only be blamed for CA's problems. Palin/Beck is basically Goldwater on steroids. Even the GOP wouldn't go for it, and would look for a more plausible candidacy. Generally a party puts up the bozo candidate in an election they don't expect to win anyway. If this is the ticket, then Obama kicked ass in the next couple years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palin/Beck need to be taken seriously. The strangest things can happen in politics, especially in times like these. That's all really true just as I'm pounding the last nail in the coffin - so easy to do if you use basic logic, but, "There I (you) go again." Other than times like 1860 where the Dems/Whigs fucked everything up so bad that this hate for these was indellible for 52 years, or when the Republican Party led us into the GD, so the Dems won the next 5 in a row or 7 of the next 9 pres elections, anything goes and the improbable can become the probable.

Andrewwhyte 1 #10 November 27, 2009 Personally I think the smart money in the GOP has already ceded 2012 to Obama. Let Frontier Barbie lose the election and the rational wing of the party can rebuild from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #20 November 27, 2009 QuotePersonally I think the smart money in the GOP has already ceded 2012 to Obama. Let Frontier Barbie lose the election and the rational wing of the party can rebuild from there. Seems premature to give up on 2012 - Democrats cannot successfully blame Bush if the economy/deficit still sucks in 3 years, and if they pass trillion dollar health care plans. But I see absolutely no signs of life for next year, and it's getting pretty late in the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a party without a leg to stand on, the woman in heels (woman in running shorts[?]) is Queen? McCain must be kicking himself over bringing in that frickin' spokesmodel of fringe right-ism. It's not like the hardcore R's were going to vote for Obama just because a Romney or Leiberman was too moderate. It was a post-Bush election and all that the huge population of middle-of-the-bell-curve Repubicans, Moderates, and Independents wanted was someone who could form a complete sentence and would at least have a plan before invading more sovereign nations."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
