Quote of the Day – as we look at the Florida Primary, where does Obama stand?

“If his predecessor cursed Obama by handing him a depression and two wars, the Good Lord has blessed him with the weakest field of opponents in memory. I stand by my early assessment: when I look at the economy, I think Obama can’t win, but when I look at the Republicans, I think he can’t lose. The economy is starting to get better; the Republicans aren’t. The president has moved to the populist center, smoothly co-opting the legitimate grievances of the Occupy Wall Street movement and ensuring that he wouldn’t face a primary challenge from the left. ‘Barack’ means blessing in Swahili. Perhaps ‘Obama’ means luckier than a dog with two tongues.”

- Paul Begala

… and it looks like Romney will carry Florida, mainly by overspending Newt and his other opponents by a total of 12 million bucks. Money can buy anything.

  1. Mitt is owned by the corporations that are doing their best to own the country… A Romney presidency would be a major coup for the 1%.

  2. Totally agree with that quotation!

    However, money does not always succeed in politics. Look at the 2010 election in California for instance where Meg Whitman lost the election despite spending a fortune on her campaign.

    Thus, Romney might buy himself the GOP nomination but he cannot buy himself the Presidency.
