The GOP is almost in disarray surrounding its candidate. Look at the facts. Palin, Bachmann, Gingrich, and Santorum are throw-aways. No way they get in as the GOP candidate. Possibly Palin and/or Bachmann get in as a third party Tea Party candidate which would amount to a vanity candidacy, the Ross Perot of 2012.
Let's also recall that just a few short weeks ago, Donald The Limitless Ego Trump mouthed his interest and he was instantly the number one choice. He drops out, the field turns to Romney. Romney has a huge problem though, he is not Christian enough, he's a Mormon. Pawlenty - okay maybe.
Now look who is talking about entering the race, Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani instantly becomes the new number one choice. Why? Is the GOP so finicky now that they are jumping all over the place, first Trump is one, now Rudy Giuliani? It does not bode well. Rudy Giuliani with his 9/11 one track issue would have to go up against Obama who holds the cards with getting bin Laden. Rudy Giuliani is also pro-abortion until he does a conceivable mea culpa and publicly admits he was wrong on abortion and now sees the light. Notice that the only issue the GOP has had any policy impact on since the November 2010 election is changing abortion law across the red states. Where would Rudy Giuliani presently fit in with that.
Obama is holding the cards at the moment. Can he keep holding them. And what do we do? We imagine America progressively moving forward - ain't happening man.
CS Monitor: The big lie that Obama can't lead is crumbling
He stabilized the worst economy since the Great Depression. Though unemployment remains stubborn, the stock market is basically back to where it was before the global economic meltdown. His stimulus bill kept America humming and saved hundreds of thousands of jobs, while his rescue of General Motors saved an industrial icon.
Good taste is another facet of leadership. Contrast the way the Bush administration orchestrated a public trial and execution of Saddam Hussein, turning it into a vulgar spectacle, with Obama’s shrewd refusal to publish photos of bin Laden’s body. His announcement of bin Laden’s death was restrained and sober, not at all celebratory – the right note to conclude a sensitive military operation. Obama’s later visit to ground zero was a fitting bookend to a sad chapter in United States history.
