Michale puts foot in mouth once again with bad joke about Irene. Can't understand this girl, suppose to be smart, she's not a blonde.

Do not know which way I'm going to vote. May need help voting for a Republican or Democrat.

Is there anyone in either party that knows what :We The People," stands for?

It was an idiotic comment.

I'm not sure many would vote for her anyway. Perry is going to gain a lot of steam but he's going to really turn off moderate voters with the gun slinging.

About the only Republican who's closer to the middle is Huntsman, but he could use some fire in the belly...

Most likely it's going to be Mitt, which is going to make for a lot of conflicted people in the voting booth.

"I'm not sure many would vote for her anyway"

Agreed 100%. She'll fizzle at some point...I agree with her on most issues, and I'd vote for her if she won the primary, but man she says stupid things. No more than Biden does, but of course he gets a pass...

"Perry is going to gain a lot of steam but he's going to really turn off moderate voters with the gun slinging."

I think the bible-thumping will be more of a turnoff. Spence, this election will be about the economy. 40% of the jobs created in this country since 2008, have been created in Texas, which pulled that off despite not knowing what "taxes" are. That is a record you can run on. By every measurable statistic, the national economy is much worse than what Obama "inherited" (put that in quotes since he "inherited" the economy from a Democratic congress where the Pres, the VP, and the SecState, were all influential senators)

As a conservative, I like Perry a bit more than Romney. However, I think Romney is more electable in the general election.

"Most likely it's going to be Mitt, which is going to make for a lot of conflicted people in the voting booth. "

The moderate independents (whoever they are) will not be conflicted unless the economy improves significantly. True moderates were scared into voting for Obama when the stock market collapsed.

We are a center-right country...no poll has ever suggested anything else. The moderates gave radical liberalism a shot, and they do not like what they see, and sure as hell they don't like the results.

If the economy stays where it is (or gets worse, which I predict), than a Romney/Rubio ticket will rout Obama/Biden. Chances are, a Perry/Rubio ticket would likewise win. If the economy does what I'm afraid it's going to do, #^&#^&#^&#^& Cheney could beat Obama. Boy, I'd pay to see THAT debate.

In the states that will decide this election (FL, NC, VA, PA, OH, MN, NV), Obama is bleeding independents to both Romney and Perry. On top of that, all the energy and enthusiasm will be with tea party conservatives. The black turnout and youth turnout will be nothing like 2008.

Obama may have to dump Biden, who literally adds nothing to the ticket.

And how many are a direct result of oil production, transport or refinement of gulf oil.

If that's what it is (and I cannot refute it), maybe we should consider tapping into other oil deposits?

Anyway, I don't know if that's what it is. Do you?

Texas' location also has poses some monstrous challenges...you se, Texas shares an enormous border with a country called "Mexico", meaning that Texas has a huge number of penniless Mexican immigrants. Yet somehow, Texas is adding jobs, and it's a place where people in my state (CT) are fleeing to.

Only a liberal would dismiss Texas' success as being based on oil, and then refuse to expand on that success elsewhere.

Where should we expand this too? Show me CT's rich oil reserves or ideal locations for a refinery?

why do yo assume this liberal is anti-drilling. I'm not pro-anwar, but not anti, especially not offshore.

we absolutely need to transition from fossil fuels, but that won't happen overnight.

Is he pulling this off with the Obama ban on new oil patforms and the gulf oil spill backlash?? I would say he's doing a pretty fair job then.

How much free oil have we received from Kuwait for saving their
arses at the cost of our men and treasure?
How about Iraq sending us some free oill too?

It's a one way street, our billions of foreign aid, when did any country
send us aid in any form?

Yes. Marco Rubio, the Republican US Senator from Florida, knows that. He will be the VP pick in 2012, and he gets that elected officials serve the will of the public.

I suspect Rubio will be in the executive branch from 2013 until 2029. He's an impressive kid.

If the GOP tries to run against Obama as a "radical liberal" they're going to lose no matter who they put up.

Spence, Obama is a far-left liberal. During his time in the Senate, he had the most liberal voting record (if you put any validity to how they measure that). He may not call himself a far-left liberal, but it's his actions, not his words, that define what he is.

He's an empty suit who has had only one thing going for him his whole life...people got out of his way because he's black, and he's willing to play that card like a Stradavarius.

Actually, in that scenario, the geology of CT doomed it as much as it's liberal policies

No, because even if we had oil, the irrational liberals (sorry for the redundancy there) would just let the oil sit there. In CT, liberals feel there is this infinite ATM machine out there called "business", which they can raid whenever they want, without consequences. It has worked out swell.
