PPP the liberal democrat polling service shows Romney and Barry tied 45% each not exactly great news for Barry. More interesting the latest Fox & CNN polls show a virtual tie for the top with Romney, Bachmann, and Perry at the top. Another pack Palin, Giuliani, and Paul are not far behind.

Since Barry is the smartest man in the room I wonder if he's smart enough to know how badly he f'cked up during his first 30 months....

Narcissists don't think that way.

He should be thinking of his presidency in terms of Jimmy Carter.

The problem with that is that Ronald Reagan isn't coming back.

You guys crack me up. The only one I worry about against Obama is Romney. If Romney is the candidate, it could be close-if the values voters will come out and vote for a Mormon.

We do need a "white" knight, the black one is dragging us down the path of destruction.

Yes..Some may have trouble voting for someone that wears "the garments".

All faiths have some unique tenets...but this one may be the most unique.

If unemployment is still ~9.0% a year from now, Obama will be 20 points down to Romney/Perry/Pawlenty, and 5-10 points down to Herman Cain or Bachmann.

Pawlenty? The guy who trashed Minnesota? Perry? THe alleged closet(sorta) gay/bisexual guy from Texas? Really? Even down in the polls to Pizza man and psycho *****? No chance.

Yes, Roberta, Obabba sucks that bad.

Romney's faith interests me not in the least. I just think he's another spend-and-spend bonehead. Like the current one and the last one.

I don't know but it sure sounds like Perry might suck.

Good I hope you vote for one of the other Republicans since Romney is the only legitimate shot at beating Obama in 2012. As for it not interesting you, it probably doesn't but to many of the large voting block of the Republican party(values voters), it will be of great interest.

1. I still have no idea who's going to get my vote. I can say, though, that I've reached an age where I'm no longer willing to vote for someone I can't stand just because I like the other guy even less. I'll write in Gene Bartow, like I did in 2008.

2. It ain't like my not voting for the Republican nominee is going to throw Alabama to Obama.

Make a choice based on what you think is best for your children. In Roberta's case there will never be any children. it's getting to the point with him that a blow up doll(for a partner) is just fine.

Well, I graduated from college later in life and wanted to wait until I had a full time permanent job in my field before getting involved in something like that. As it turns out, I never got that full time job and I am working at a job that pays slightly over minimum wage and can barely afford to live myself. I am trying to do the responsible thing and not have kids until I can afford to have kids. I wouldn't want you to have to pay for them. Until then, my blow up companion is just fine. :)

You were a fool for 'waiting until you were "ready"'. You are *never* ready for kids!

I envy my friends who started at 20(ish) and spent the first five or more years in near poverty. Poverty is not the main problem children suffer, half ass parenting is!

Bingo.

I won't however fault Robert for waiting until he's got his financial house in order. Way too many people having kids they can't feed. I will say this, though, as far as marriage: You and your meager income, and a woman with her meager income can live almost as cheaply as one of you can, and you've doubled your income.
