    Biden the presumptive 2016 nominee?!?!?!?

    BTW, I love the image, I just wish it said "Because words cannot describe how stupid that idea is..." I don't think you're stupid.

    Maybe Bachmann absorbs some of the stupid/crazy ammo that would otherwise come down on Palin.

    If Palin runs and doesn't get much traction, her earning power in future years will drop dramatically. This is her #1 priority and is why I don't think she will enter. Republicans are starting to get serious right about now which dims her appeal.

    I think Palin's goal is to stay in the headlines and she will milk publicity as long as possible before making some kind of self-serving announcement that she will not be a candidate and can serve the public more effectively blah blah blah "but I'm not going away".

    If nothing else, Palin is good at maximizing her limited intelligence to maximum profit.

    I agree. Palin is pulling a Trump and just trying to gain some publicity and hoping to stay relevant.

    I don't think they're trying to dodge the shells. I think they are the ones lobbing them into our discourse.

    (FYI: That was not sexist. If I wanted it to be sexist, I would have written it like this:

    I don't think Palin and Bachman are being penetrated by hard, shiny phallic-shaped explosives of stupid/crazy. Rather, they are the ones who strapped on the stupid/crazy and are slamming it with great force into the wide opening of our discourse. Fortunately, it seems only wingnuts are lining up and bending over to receive the ramming and everyone else appears to be disgusted by such an act.)

    It seems you are ready to take the turgid plunge into the hot steamy bowels of a publishing cqareer.

    so when a corporatation's PAC, their executives and their families give money to obama and then go on to head up his economic advisory council that shows that obama is not beholden to NBC?

    i dont know why you OOFs (obama only fans) are having such a hard time accepting that your precious is a corporatist. im here saying that obama is going to win again so the republicans shouldnt even bother - i thought comments like that would please yall.

    lol samuel - backing up your arguments w/ facts and numbers just isnt the university of phoenix online way, is it?

    lol samuel - you can try and spin it anyway you want, but clearly you were wrong when you claimed...

    i dont know how someone who claims they were "well aware" of the list could be so wrong about the content of it...lol.

    and furthermore, you were wrong when you claimed the past election was a "billion dollar campaign". your precious is planning on spending a billion next year - but the real question is why the hell would anyone spend that much money to campaign for a job that only pays a few hundred thousand a year?

    the lollipop guild is really slipping these days.

    I admit I know very little about him but so far Herman Cain has been saying all the right things (for me anyway). It may be good to have someone who is not a politician. I will keep an eye on him.

    the only reason anyone knows about him is b/c the republicans are so desperate to have a black face to run against obama.

    thats why they brought in michael (hip-hop) steele, who was a total failure.

    if they want street cred in da hood there is only one choice...

    You didn't list the $$ that the executives gave - you listed the dollars that every single person employed by NBC gave. That includes everyone from executives to secretaries to janitors. By that standard, everyone who works for any corporation that gave any money to Obama is part of your crazy corporate conspiracy.

    I don't understand why you have to distort data to try to make your case.

    Ummm, what? If someone gave you a billion dollars that you could only spend on a campaign, why wouldn't you spend it on a campaign? The salary of the job is irrelevant - I don't think anyone wants to be President because of the pay.

    I could care less what skin color the President has. As far as I am concerned we are all of the same race (the human race). I don't care for Romney at all and personally think he won't make through the primaries due to Romney care in Mass. I will have to do a little homework on Herman Cain however I totally agree with everything I have heard him say so far.

    Herman Cain is the GOP version of Wesley Clark. He's fine until he opens his mouth and demonstrates that he's clueless about major issues:

    He's way out of his element running for President.

    McCain wasn't really an establishment GOP guy.
