From almost anyone else, it's a nice compliment on Obama's leadership/decision making ability. From the guy who would be sitting in the chair making the call in the future if anything happens to Obama, the "thank god the President was smart enough to ignore my advice when he was making the most important decision of our term" line is more problematic.

Obama dying would be terrible. Joe Biden would be president.

Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Shit is going down in Syria

Swing state poll shows Romney leading Obama by 1% and Obama leading Newt by 14%. Santorum and Paul both training Obama by 7%. They polled Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. 12 Obama 2008 states but Bush won 9 of them at least once.

I just can't believe Romney or any other candidate running it going to beat Obama.

I can. People are really underestimating the importance of Obama's disapproval numbers, and elections involving incumbent presidents are referenda on the incumbent.

Romney might look like the guy who laid someone off, but Obama is the guy who was president when that someone was laid off.

Romney's the guy whose money hired the guy who laid them off while Obama was President

Thanks. I'm surprised I guessed the ones I did correctly.

Secretly hoping you intentionally made Santorum brown.

I stole it from RealClearPolitics

Just thought it was a really neat picture of the ups and downs of the campaign

i enjoyed it. stared at it at work for about 20 minutes. i don't know if we'll ever see a primary like this again. it's an utter shit show, and, quite frankly, i'll be scared shitless if anyone but romney wins. romney is the only one who wouldn't make me seriously consider leaving the country. i hear vancouver is nice, or i could work at our office in kamloops, bc.

Somehow, in a way that I don't feel applies to Palin/Trig, Santorum's daughter with Trisomy 18 makes me soften my intense dislike of the guy. Maybe it's only early days though.
