I don't think that Obama should even think about stepping aside while the Republican Candidates are suitably Batshit. I still don't know which Republican candidate is supposed to beat him?
From a Republican perspective it's a shame they're stuck with actual candidates rather than 'Generic Republican'.  He'd do quite well I think.

Having said that if Europe sinks then we could well end up with a Ron Paul Presidency.

What on your base?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Ah, yes, both echo chambers are here....
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Bush won in '04 because the Dems were overconfident and nominated an elitist New England liberal. Certainly the GOP is also capable of picking a candidate who can't win. Like the Perry we've seen over the past few months...

This isn't fair at all.  Of the potential candidates they nominated the most credible-seeming.  Not only that but they nominated the Vietnam vet to fire-proof them from attack on national security.  I think this spin is ignoring the 2004 primary.

Who else was there?  Edwards, Lieberman, Dean, Gephardt?  Kerry was the best of a bad bunch.

This crop of Republicans isn't any better. I suspect Liebermann or Gephardt could have won the general election. Maybe Edwards if he kept his mistress under wraps(not sure on chronology of that scandal).

Gephardt was boring but would have been all right. Smart guy, moderate, more hawk than dove.

Gephardt was a totally owned subsidiary of Big Labor.  I would have been happier with Lurch.

In '09 he advised the board of UnitedHealth in a campaign against universal health coverage; he lobbies for the Medicines Company and chairs the Council of American Medical Innovation to block generics and extend patents; and he basically broke the union at Spirit Aerosystems earlier this year. It's like Bizarro Gephardt.
