Thune's decision may boost the chances of other potential candidates from the Midwest, such as former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Obama will win a landslide election in 2012. The republicans don't have a single person who could mount any semblence of a campaign against him. Obama is extremely intelligent, articulate, focused on our future and will go down in history as the first African American President and one of the greatest leaders of our Country EVER. He will be up there with Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. I am so proud to have lived during his administration and voted for him. I have every intention of voting for him in 2012 regardless of who the republicans run. My friends and family feel the same. Barak is in my corner, not the republicans.

Palin is not running she does not have the intelligency to be the United States President and as much as she stay talking more mistakes she is going to make, she is becoming a political joke at the same time I like her, she is making million of dollars and using those racist idiots that want to hear what they want to hear. Playing the race card is a good business in this country its does not matter where is coming from, Blacks, Latinos, Jews all are in the same game!

What short memories...a "populist" President was elected. He was a Washington "outsider". He brought MORE Washington outsiders with him in his Cabinet. They were eaten up and spit out by other Washington insiders. Yet we want history to repeat itself? It was one of the most failed presindencies in US History...go Palin...go to Washington and get eaten up and spit out for breakfast.

February 22 2011 at 5:03 PM Report abuse Permalink +9 rate up rate down ReplyPlease, please, Republicans, run Sarah Palin for president and say, Rush Limbaugh for vice-president. Let's just see how they would do!
February 22 2011 at 4:50 PM Report abuse Permalink +7 rate up rate down ReplyGood Judgment or Cowardice? The answer is both, of course. Obama didn't create the problems but nobody wants to take the chance to fail at fixing the mess. Much better to obstruct, demonize, and at least endlessly criticize... Sounds like a good reason to anticipate a re-election of Obama in 2012.
