I guess when you're smart, no don't need to bother with spelling.

A nice opinon piece, but the spread between GOP and Dem is pretty much as statistical dead heat at less that 1%.

I will just say that I do not think women are as turned off as the pundits say.  

It is very inaccurate to say that Pro-life is predominately male.  There are many women who are very much removed from the abortion policies of Planned Parenthood.  Although most people (women and men) approve of abortion in cases of rape and incest, most people do not like "late term" or abortions for "convenience."

In fact, when ever abortion comes up the Dems shout "rape and incest," and avoid the abortions that represent 95% of those performed.  I think they go to the extreme to shift attention from other areas where they would not do as well.

One last thought, 3 years ago this board and the media were filled with stories of the Death of the GOP and The New Majority.  Now, I don't know if anyone wants to put too much money on the next election.

I can see it go any way.  But I see a lot of things that could de-rail Obama.  The biggest is the economy, and if I recall 2008 was triggered by the rise in gas prices.

Obama can say the president is limited, but the response with be 1,000 ads quoting him and Pelosi about Bush and the fact that the president was an oil man.

Certainly seems that way lately, particularly alienating Hispanics & women. If your predominant demographic is uneducated, theocratic, white male Christians ( which there are 2 prominent examples on this board-----LOL )
that is a shrinking demographic & a recipe for electoral disaster.

Now, before hubris sets in, let me say a # of things in coming months could bolster chances for GOP : economy going in toilet , a scandal coming out against Obama administration, etc.

However, barring above 2 options, GOP COULD be going way of the typewriter------
