They will try to take it by any means necessary. They will give no quarter and we shouldn't either.

Republicans aren't big fans of him, to say nothing of everybody else.

Obama has definitely lost some of his lustre, but that's to be expected. It's pretty much his to lose.

That's not to say people should be complacent, because anything can happen. But the Republicans are starting the game a couple touchdowns behind.

Watch what happens over the summer and into the fall.

The bastards will make this very difficult when, by all rights, it should be easy.

Then election day will come with a few million fewer voters, no Acorn, plus enhanced electoral fraud possibilities. We have already seen it in the primaries.

This election may make 2000 look fair.

I am very concerned.

crucial that the bunch of nuts in the GOP pay a heavy ballot box beating into near obscurity this November. We need to save medicare, we need to save SS - we need to send boehner to the unemployment office.

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
