He's also a Mormon. I don't see the Christian Coalition being too thrilled about that. As for 2010, I don't think it is even possible for the GOP to take back Congress, regardless of their horrible approval numbers. They're playing defense on far too many fronts. 2012 is more plausible, if everything goes terribly for Obama. Which I don't see happening. I don't think any earlier than 2016. Once a party is in power, the elctorate tends to keep them there for a while. This isn't Italy!

A lot of black and hispanics who BTW as usual are most affected by joblessness are going to be turned off by the whole process and won't even vote if the Obama joblessness continues into 2010. They may not vote Republican but they won't vote. People may want Romney who unlike Obama has a proven track record as a businessman and government administrator.

What happens in 2010 depends on whether Obama can turn things around on the joblessness front. His health care plan is going nowhere fast. He needs to extricate himself quickly from that before it sinks completely. If he gets away from it now he can pin the failure on Pelosi. If not, he's toast in 2010. People want jobs, jobs, jobs now. Anything else is a recipe for a Republican takeover of the Congress.

Romney has a near-lock on the nomination with Palin and Jindal's recent implosions, barring an Obama-style "where the hell did HE come from" event. If he takes Huckabee as his running mate, he's got a chance. But the demographics don't favor him at this point. Look, no matter what Obama does, 90% of all minorities, including gay, Hispanic, black, and so on, will vote for him. As will a majority of young people.

Ah, so we're at the "we'll show you" stage, eh? I hate to break it to you, but the degredation of Obama's poll numbers? It's being matched by a simultaneous degredation of the GOP's numbers. The electorate hates EVERYONE at this point. But they hate the GOP more. And the GOP just alienated many, many women and pretty much all Latinos with the Sotomayor thing. Wanna bet the DNC picks up 1 to 3 senate seats and 3 to 6 House seats?

Nobody knows what 2012 looks like. If Obama can turn things around like Bill Clinton did after taking power during the first Bush recession, I'll vote for Obama. But if he channels Jimmy Carter instead as he appears to be doing right now, I'm voting for the opposition. A lot will happen between now and then. I'm hopeful for America that Obama learns from Clinton's early failures and gets his act together. If not, he's got to go.

Your side has a near monopoly on political power in this country. But it's not enough, is it? But the beautiful thing is America never works well with single party government. Look at what a mess Obama is making of things. Everything he touches turns to crap. It's called the reverse Midas effect. So it will be Obama himself and not Limbaugh and Savage who will be responsible for the Republican comeback in 2010.

I beg your pardon? Media Matters displays clips. It does not produce the content. The same is true of the organizations on the opposite side.

So, then, "hate speech" which might lead to the assassination of the President isn't really a problem unless Media Matters is in favor of that President.

And speaking of one's own shit not stinking, I seem to recall a few naked power grabs by a certain Karl Rove and some deliberate gerrymandering by a "Hammer" of some variety in an attempt to solidify Republican control circa 2003. Funny.
ALL politicians are not to be completely trusted for one simple reason: their only real concern is job security. Getting reelected. That's it.
You're making some pretty broad assumptions about 2012. President Romney? Ha.
