Obama in 2012

I think being young and black helped him a lot last time, but his record and the economy leave him weak. But you can bet the Republicans will nominate some clown without a chance.

Personally, I would like to see R. Paul vs. Kucinich.

I think being black did it.
Funny turn at that.
Obama in 2012 = finally an independent will have a chance in the race, since that will keep it the two party race we all know and love.

I voted for Obama after reading the two candidates' autobiographies. I know about ghost writers, but much of the tone and content must be genuine. Since Obama was clearly the smarter of the two, I picked him.

I feel differently now, and will vote for the dumber of the two candidates. Here's why: I think the smarter a person is, the more likely he is to cook up some kind of scheme that will backfire; only a really smart person make make a major mistake.
