Obama is the paper candidate... he looks great on paper, says a bunch of nice things that sound good -until you actually analyze them and realize they are completely unworkable.
And right now, he offers the media (which covers the presidential campaign like it is a sporting event) a "challenger" to the sense of inevitibility that surrounds the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Make no mistake, Clinton has the nomination sewn up.. the rest is just an exercise for public spectacle. She has the money, political backing and the machine in place to get her primary votes to secure the nomination.
The Republican side is in far more flux, because no candidate is really attractive to the base...the only thing they do have going for them is a untied dislike for Hillary, so regardless who gets the nomination, if Hillary is the opponent, there will be a record turnout to keep her out of office.
What strikes me as funny is that given the spin that Bush is so "unpopular" and "incompetent", this is the group of people anxious to take his job?
I suspect that if Bush could run for a third term, he'd take just about any of these people.
I'd be curious which of his proposals you find unworkable. I'd agree if we were talking about Huckster who's tax proposal has as much a chance of getting through Congress as I do of driving my kids power wheels to work but Obama's are all reasonable rationale doable proposals.
Hillary's healthcare program is unworkable as is her committed but not really approach to the war. Obama has yet to present anything that isn't workable and frankly doesn't have a pretty good chance of getting done if Dem's retain control of Congress.
