I know I would like it if, following Petey's transition thread, there was a general "Obama term 2" thread for people to talk about everything going on in his term since not all of it is worth its own thread, but it does interest most of us. Is that something of interest to people?

I know, and Caroline Kennedy is still involved in Politics, Patrick Kennedy could be again if he stops drinking, and Kathleen Kennedy used to be.

No Dem in the Senate looks poised for a Presidential run, and we've run through Congress and everything else being a tough launching pad. Everyone in Mass thinks Patrick is going to run, and right wing talk media is salivating over Governor Scott Brown.

skaboomizzy posted:When Romney dropped out in Feb of 2008 I told my parents "Well, there's the GOP nominee for 2012." He absolutely could have fought McCain tooth and nail in '08 with a pretty reasonable chance to win the nomination, but he chose to drop out early to get all the big money for the '12 run and avoid the Bush backlash. This is not true at all. Huckabee had gained steam and was starting to win states, and almost seemed to stubbornly stay in to spite Romney. Romney dropped out because Mccain was 60% of where he needed to be after Super Tuesday. He really didn't have a chance once Huckabee started winning southern states.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:Two primaries for every region allows more fluidity in the campaign. I think it would make sense to do 5 states every 2 weeks for twenty weeks For instance First Tuesday in January: IA, NH, NV, SC, and a random big state (Cali, NY, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, Michigan, NC) Second Tuesday: VT, AR, NM, GA and random big state. etc

The best part about Double Down thus far was that Mitch Daniels, Jeb Bush, and Haley Barbour talked for months about how they would join together against Romney if one of them ran but Daniels wife was adamantly opposed to it (Mitch had GWB and Laura call her to talk about it), Jeb knew his last name was still poison, and Barbour's own opposition research on himself painted him as a racist drunk. Oh, and everyone treats Joe Biden like poo poo in the white house.

Paul MaudDib posted:Not hardly. Pushback from the wealthy, a hostile supreme court that knocked down ~70% of his policies, a proto-Rush Limbaugh, a fascist coup plotted by business leaders - Roosevelt certainly faced meaningful opposition. Not to mention having loving polio and keeping it a secret from the public. I've never heard of proto rush or the coup before...
