It looks as if Mitt Romney has secured his position as the next Republican candidate for President. His Super-Pacs and considerable wealth have simply buried the opposition. It looks as if it may be possible to buy the Presidency, although I suspect this has been done before, but not to the extent that the unlimited flow of money available in elections has manifested now.
Barack Obama has his work cut out for him. The economy is the central issue, as it so often has been. Remember Bill Clinton and "It's the economy, stupid."? We are showing gradual signs of economic improvement, but will it be fast enough to salvage a second term for the President?
An intriguing idea is floating among Democratic circles: a ticket of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Verrrry interesting... I think Joe Biden, although it would hurt, would be willing to make the sacrifice for the good of the party.
That could be a major fifteen rounder.
They should have nominated Hillary in '08. I'm firmly convinced she would make a great president.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that can be pulled off or not. It would certainly make a more powerful ticket.
