That's a pretty good bet.
It's also a good bet that moderate Romney will paint himself as "conservative", and will try to make us think that Obama is somewhere to the left of Maxine Waters. Meantime, Obama will be busy pointing out how many flips Romney has flopped, while busily sweeping those multi trillion dollar deficits under the carpet.
Agreed.
The bottom line: If the economy improves, it's likely to be Obama. If it doesn't Romney will probably be the next one getting the blame for the poor economy.
Given the opposition to all progress by the GOP to defend the tax cuts for the rich and the crop of contenders as the alternative, I would bet that unless the economy gets worse, Obama wins.
But, back to the subject of this thread: I don't want to see either of them with the power to detain Americans without trial.
And, even less do I want to see whoever succeeds them as next POTUS with that power. Who knows who that might be?
Or, it could be Perry with that power... now that's a scary thought, isn't it?
I agree. That's one of the reasons I'm glad for the OWS to bring some heat on issues neither party is highlighting. I think all citizens should join the OWS in protesting the support of the Patriot Act by both parties.
