Is Obama a shoe-in for 2012?
I think so. Look at the weak competition!
John McCain already lost to Obama and will be too old to run again.
Sarah Palin is the Republican frontrunner. How sad. No one even likes her anymore because she proved herself to be too unintelligent for the position in her interview with Katie Couric. She is also a complete loon, completely off her rockers!
Bobby Jindal is a minority which helps but he would be outwitted by Obama in the debates. To me, Jindal is the GOP’s best hope because of his minority status.
Mitt Romney is the second-best hope that the GOP has because of his style, looks and well-spokenness. He could get a lot of female voters to vote for him. What hurts him more than anything is his newfound pro-life position on abortion, which will scare off moderates and lots of women. The last thing we need is another Christian fundie dictating social policy!
Mike Huckabee has a good personality and has a good sense of humor (major plus there) but this is the 21st Century and no one wants an uber-religious Christian conservative calling the shots in the White House.
Rudy Giuliani hasn’t been active in politics since Bloomberg took over as NYC mayor. Also, 9/11 was a long time ago.
Ron Paul’s positions are way too extreme to win a Republican nomination and it would make no sense for him to run as a meaningless third party candidate, so he’s out of the running.
George P. Bush gets points because he is Mexican and can get that all-important Hispanic vote. He loses points because he shares the same last name as the worst president of all time, George W. Bush.
Jeb Bush lacks the Hispanic support that the younger, half-Hispanic George P. Bush has. He also did a lousy job as Florida’s governor. Incompetence must run in the Bush family.
Michael Steele counterbalances Obama’s blackness, but the black community recognizes that he is nothing more than an Uncle Tom a la Alan Keyes.
Newt Gingrich needs to get it through his head that the 90’s were a long time ago. He was a laughing stock then and he would be an even bigger laughing stock in 2012! Give it up already, your five minutes are up!
Tom Tancredo appeals to the xenophobe Lou Dobbs-watching anti-Mexican faction, not to mainstream Americans. The open-minded Obamanation would crush him.
Rush Limbaugh…I won’t even go there! Everybody hates him now!
The rest of the GOP…old, washed-up, bitter, white men who bankrupted this country with their crooked crony capitalism. Obama will turn this country around and then the Republican Party will be dead…good riddance!
huckabee 2012
So. how are the Republicans going to win in 2012 again?
Let’s look at the potential candidates:
Charlie Crist – Running for Florida Senate now.
Bobby Jindal – Total joke after his horrible speech against Obama’s stimulus plan.
Mitt Romney – He’s Mormon, which means he loses 25% of voters automatically.
Mike Huckabee – Only a moron would vote for this guy who thinks the Constitution needs to be “up to God’s standards.”
Newt Gingrich – LMAO. This guy has been married and divorced how many times?
John McCain – Don’t even need to touch this one.
Jon Huntsman – Works for Obama now.
Sarah Palin – LMAO. She has NO chance at winning. Many believe her nomination is what brought McCain down anyways.
So uh.. who are you guys running in 2012 again? Looks like another landslide for Obama.
Tim Pawlenty – After letting the Minnesota senate race drag on this far (when it is clear Al Franken has won), he can kiss his presidential hopes goodbye. He does not care about Minnesota’s representation, only his party’s image.
LMAO, Jeb Bush? Okay, it’s clear: Republicans have no chance at winning in 2012 now.
Vote Palin
Who should miss Sarah Palin select as her running mate for the 2012 election?
I think Jeb Bush would do a marvelous job—–but I don’t think he will be a very likely selection—–especially considering the fact that he does not desire to run for senate either—anyhow—-Mr Huckabee could be a good choice—-hmm—who else—?? anyone care to state their guess?
Obama
Republican base, who is your early favorite to take on President Obama in 2012?
Is it Fred Thompson, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Jeb Bush, Sam Brownback, George Allen, Bill Frist, Rick Santorum, Ralph Reed, James Dobson, Tom DeLay, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh or somebody else?
Sorry Hannity. Beck? No, he’s an alien. I didn’t forget Romney – he’s not a base pick. If the base liked him he’d be the candidate today.
CNN
With Jeb Bush out of the Governor’ s seat in Florida,?
Will Floridians finally have a fair election or does Charlie Crist have the clout to fudge the figures and steal it for the republicans again?
Obama
who you think is going to win Florida’s Governor Race?
Jim Davis or Charlie Crist?
Jeb Bush term is up people, he’s finish! he cannot be elected again
Charlie Crist
I live in a state that’s shooting itself in the foot?
I live in Florida. After dealing with Jeb Bush, President Bush, and now Charlie Crist we have become the envy of bankruptsy lawyers around the world. The housing market is in the trash and tourism is way down. Yet, our state continues to show as a red state in the polls. I don’t understand this for the life of me. Are we shooting ourselves in the foot?
Charlie Crist
Jeb Bush
John Ellis Bush, aka Jeb Bush, born in Midland, Texas, rose to international prominence when he donned the hat of the governor of Florida in 1999. He is the younger brother of outgoing Republican President George W. Bush, and the son of Former President George H.W. Bush. He married a Colombian of Mexican origin whom he met when he was in Mexico teaching English. A Texan, he moved to Florida in the early 1980s and joined a Real Estate Development Company called the Codina Group. After being the Secretary of Commerce in 1987 for Florida State, under Governor Bob Martinez, he set his sight on the coveted Governor’s seat in 1994. But his bid flopped that time, going down to Lawton Chiles.
A Republican, he has politics running in his blood. His grandfather, on his paternal side, Sen. Prescott Sheldon Bush was in the Senate from 1952 to 1963 representing the state of Connecticut. His father, Pres. George Herbert Walker Bush was the 41st President and his brother, Pres. George Walker Bush, the 43rd President. In 1999, though, he won the bid for the seat of the Governor of the state of Florida on his second attempt, a position he’d have until he retired in 2007. Throughout his political career, his views have been staunchly conservative. In 1999, he ran on a platform that laid emphasis on traditionally Democratic Party issues pertaining to education and the like.
His well known exploits during his tenure as governor for eight years include his efforts in reforming the state education system, one which he recommended on the implementation of a controversial voucher program, wherein some students were allowed to a private school transfer, thereby ending affirmative action in admissions to Florida’s universities and the state contracting. Besides, some others that gained attention include his policies aimed at shrinking of the Florida Government, a tactic that led to disputes, which were politically costly public ones.
In 2012, Jeb Bush could stand as a heavy front-runner, as he has played a part in the seven of the last eight elections, starting from his father’s failed presidential bid in 1980. Being, one of the most popular governors that Florida has seen in recent times, he could stand in times of need for the Republicans.
President Obama, in 2012 will be much stronger should he enforce his ideas, but someone with the credentials of Jeb Bush can counter attack that, should he be in the fray for the next elections. Jeb Bush had no remorse in accepting that he indeed had imbibed some ideals of the former Democratic Pres. Bill Clinton, when he replied to a question, that he didn’t emulate the then President Bill Clinton, but all he did was to admire his awesome listening skills which was something he had to learn.
Jeb Bush in 2012, could well be within the reach of White House, should he continue from where he left in 2007. His character is one that is ready to accept whatever he feels is for his betterment, one of a budding and great politician.
In 2012, Jeb Bush may indeed have his shot at the White House, and if not then, at least in 2016. How much he succeeds in it depends on the experience he stands to garner in the years to come.
Jeb Bush vs. Obama in 2012 Presidential Election?
vs. 
The great Bush debate will continue, but would 2012 be enough time for Jeb to lose the Bush Stigma? If Obama were to squander his first four years would Jeb mount a significant fight?
