President Obama Admits Jason330 Was Right All Along

8 Comments
You are going to hear a lot about this, so I will not belabor the fact that I was right all along when I said that the Presidency is about politics and policy in equal measure. Nor will hear me talking about how early I diagnosed the problem, or about how much grief Obama could have saved himself (and the country) in the mid-terms if he had only listened to me. I'm not going to mention any of that.

I am dealing with the joys of home ownership today: getting free estimates for a new A/C system. So have at it. Here is a question though, if Romney continues imploding at the current rate, is it possible that the GOP will pick a new nominee at a brokered convention?

WHYY Sponsors Wilmington Voter Forums

3 Comments
WHYY will sponsor another round of voter forums designed to let Wilmington voters frame the issues that they want Mayoral candidates to address in an upcoming televised debate. This is NOT a candidate forum, but this is a place where voters can come together to provide input to the kind of questions they want Mayoral candidates to answer. They did this in 2010 in prep ration for televised debates for DE Senate and representative races. Both Pandora and I went to the one held in the city that year and we were impressed with this process and what came out of it. If you have the chance to go, I highly recommend it.

Not really much more to discuss. Thanks to our eagle-eyed political junkies, pretty much all the developments can be found here and here. And you can find some analysis of the primary battles here. I admit it. I'm addicted to this stuff. There will almost certainly be some withdrawals today, as 4:30 p.m. this afternoon is the deadline for candidates to withdraw and get their filing fees back.

Comment by Jason330 on 15 January 2012 at 6:49 pm: Is it team Obama’s 11th dimensional vulcan chess that got the GOP to pick Romney? The way this is playing out, you have to admit that it is a possibility.
I also remember saying something about how Bain Capital sounded like a company headed by a comic book villain. Team Obama could not have concocted more terrible optics for Romney.
