re: "As I said, republicans have yet to offer a viable choice."
What do you mean by viable? Except for Cain, any of them will beat Obummer.
Time will tell, but I think you liberals already know that Obummer is highly unlikely to win next year. I offer as evidence Zzrats' unwillingness to make a bet with me on it.
But it would have been a sucker bet. No President with Obummer's numbers and such a dismal economic outlook for the year leading up to an election can hope to win. A President can only last so long blaming the country's enormous and worsening problems on a Congress that his own party has dominated.
