Made popular 929 days ago in Politics
msnbc.msn.com — WASHINGTON - Exactly two weeks until Election Day, Republicans remain poised to make significant midterm gains across the country, with 50 percent of likely voters preferring a GOP-controlled Congress, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
What's more, Republicans appear to be benefiting from the public's pessimistic mood, as approximately six in 10 registered voters think that the country is on the wrong track, and that the economy will get worse or stay the same in the next 12 months.
"Election Day is coming, the hurricane force has not diminished and it is going to hit the Democrats head on," said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff.

AUpolls, Thank God a politician such as The Annointed One only comes around "once in a blue moon" or the country would not have an opportunity to recover from his trickle up poverty. How many homeless people could be fed by the dollars this egotist is wasting on his educational trip to Asia? I shudder to think of the lack of intelligence that would reelect this narcissist after watching him take the Nation into third World status.

Actually, blue moons are fairly common. Sometimes several in a years. I'd prefer once in a milenia. But on the other hand, blue moons usually only last a day. So, An Obama once every thousand years lasting only a day. I'll take one, in 998 years.

You know AUpolls, every person who grew up in the streets has met a dozen like Obama. Not with his education, of course, but with his arrogance and inability to do more than talk. Ans boy do they talk!

Those people were always the last chosen for a team, if at all. They were also the first in the neighborhood to get arrested.

It is way too early to suggest all possible names to win the Presidency in 2012 in my opinion, considering that President Obama still has two years left to demonstrate his leadership as the candidate leading the Democratic Party. Also, you only mentioned a handful of possible challengers from other parties. E.g. Although he led a remarkable challenge as a Constitution Party candidate and came from far behind to within a few percentage points of winning the race to become Governor of Colorado, immigration reform candidate Tom Tancredo was not mentioned in your list. He is now free to run again for President unencumbered by any political office and he has demonstrated both national name recognition and the ability to win substantial support without the backing of the Republican Party. He is very popular in many states. Additionally, the Governor of Arizona might be a plausible candidate to win the Presidency in 2012 and perhaps to become the first woman to win that high office. Incoming Senator Paul might be a viable candidate also in 2012 or in 2016. So might Glen Beck or Senator Mike Gravel from Alaska. No doubt there are many others as well. The Presidential election contest in 2012 might be very interesting.

I think you should be careful using a racial phrase like that. Is it just because I'm black and Obama's half black that you used such a horrible analogy?
