Most he would get would be one term anyway. Likely too old for two.
Oddly, a lot of his views are not that removed from the great Republican presidents of years past. As many know, I think Eisenhower was the last great Republican president. Strange that the party that wants to push us into the past, is the one that seems furthest removed from the potential leader who actually embodies the views that they say they support.

I don't like Ike, I love Ike.
Maybe if we could do some genetic work and produce a hybrid of Paul and Mosler, using Paul's genes for civil liberties and Moslers ideas on the economy, health care reform, and foreign policy.

What is the big thing the voter's want to see? Jobs, more jobs, still more jobs.
What is the mantra of the GOP candidates?
We have to get rid of Obama - not a freaking word about jobs.
Guess they are heading for 49 years in the wilderness.

Obama's failures certainly inlclude his (non) performance on jobs (and I don't mean his own in this instance, although he has easily set new lows for that during his dismal term).
I think Obama being gone is pretty much a given. America hasn't become a great country by typically being colossally stupid twice. I have faith that there are enough intelligent American citizens willing to vote this time around to overpower the marginally interested, completely detached, and frankly, dim-witted folks who are still cheering in Obama's corner.

Who were they supposed to vote for? Kerry?
All things considered, sending Bush back for a second term goes in the 'smart' column.

I think that's the same situation we're in now, isn't it? Aren't a lot of 'smart' voters going to look at the crop of Republican nominees and think even less of them then people did of Kerry?
