With Jindal pulling his name out of the McCain VP search, I'm terrified that Romney is going to get the slot. Please pick Pawlenty, please pick Pawlenty...

As a side note, I place my full support behind the New Yorker's cartoon (and Vanity Fair's parody, which I must say is pretty damn funny). Anybody with any sense can see they're not making fun of Obama, they're making fun of the Glen Beck and Steve Ducey types that keep insinuating he has terrorist ties. I think the American populous needs to go back to high school English and study up on their Jonathan Swift for some lessons in satire.

Is there a spoiler edition of this thread? Because all I want to know is who wins.

Dear any politician and or big budget Hollywood movie,

Please make fiscal responsibility and government solvency cool again.

Hopeful yours-

you did notice the news service this comes from - bloomberg.  this is not surprising.
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

yeah but i heard a Radio Times program last on the same thing and basically came to the same conclusions - there is no way that either of them can pay for their campaign promises.  Stupid politicians.

Obama will be elected.  With democrats controling both legislature and white house they will do what every party does with a majority, rob the countries treasury for useless projects in their home states.  They will also try to socialize America with healthcare/education/economic reforms all aimed at taking money from those that work and giving it to those that dont. 

Obama holds on to presidency in a close 2012 election, 2014 Republicans retake House, 2016 Republicans retake Senate and Republican president is elected, we start all over again. 

There, now you can ignore politics for another decade.
