2012 Presidential Election Betting Odds Already Drawing Attention

Obama promised that change was coming for Americans and what we have seen thus far has been a disappointment to say the least. Obama made many campaign promises in which he has failed to meet nearly two years into office. While he has dealt with many events since being in the white house, have those issues addressed any of the changes we Americans were promised? Health care is one on going battle and the changes recently imposed do not seem to benefit the majority of Americans.

Sarah Palin’s New Hampshire problem?

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:13:16 +0000

…if Palin muddled through New Hampshire, it’s entirely possible that her strengths in Iowa and South Carolina — where social conservatives carry far more voting influence — would insulate her from a less-than-stellar performance in the Granite State.

Ten Republicans Who Should Run For President In 2012

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:06:41 +0000

The stealth early rounds of the 2012 presidential race are underway. It has become one of the rites of the quadrennial contest to lament its early start, but that’s no more than a griper’s cliché at this point — it will not change, and it’s really not all that new. John Kennedy was mulling his 1960 run as early as 1954. At the last national party conventions, some rising stars were highlighted by the media as possible contenders for 2016; Evan Bayh has said he could run for president as late as 2024. So, not only is the next campaign underway — the three beyond it may be as well.

New Yorkers reject Palin’s blithering bigotry

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:03:39 +0000

Sarah Palin’s semiliterate yet somehow Shakespearian tweet protesting the “Ground Zero mosque” has drawn fresh attention to a cause that excites bigots across the country. Her friend Mark Williams, the racist loudmouth expelled from the Tea Party movement over the weekend, is already leading a national campaign of agitation against the “mosque” and the worshippers of Islam’s “monkey god.” Florida evangelist William Keller wants a piece of the fame and fortune, too. New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio even seems to believe that opposing the mosque — and perhaps all mosques — will revive his stagnating candidacy.

Palin Wades Into Republican Midterm Primaries

Ms. Handel became at least the 50th candidate to win the Palin seal of approval. Through a breezy 194 words posted on Ms. Palin’s Facebook page — calling Ms. Handel a “pro-life, pro-Constitutionalist with a can-do attitude” — a four-way Republican primary came alive, the latest in a number of races across the country that have been influenced by Ms. Palin.

As Patrick Appell noted at Andrew Sullivan’s blog, two polls are now out showing wildly different results in a potential Sarah Palin-Barack Obama 2012 race. One, from Time, has Obama up by 21 points. The other, from PPP, shows a tie. So what gives?

The 2012 election season, while allegedly two years out, is underway! (Ugh.) So get used to more of the silliness we witnessed today: some anonymous Palin and Romney aides “sparred” and Romney himself had to cool things down, on Twitter.

Fund-raising lifts Romney’s 2012 prospects

Mitt Romney has raised nearly $3.5 million for his political action committee in the first half of the year, a sum that dwarfs that of other possible 2012 Republican presidential candidates and establishes the former Massachusetts governor as a potent political force.
