The Morning Plum: How rising gas prices put Obama at risk

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. That is discouraging

However the Republicans have nothing better or more substantive to offer and, hopefully, as the year wears on and the Republican nominee is actually chosen and people begin to hear what the Republicans are offering (or not offering), people will, hopefully, decide that giving President Obama another 4 years (and maybe even giving him another Dem Congress to work with) is the better choice. The Republicans are devoid of any promise or hope of progress or reform in this country and haven't even allowed President Obama to really do as much as he wanted to do, so the lack of progress in this country and, specifically, in the economy is as much tied to their own obstructionism and unwillingness to do anything productive. I have a hard time believing that people would want to go back to GOP (mis-)rule and worse. We have been getting good news for the past two months but, realistically, there's going to be good news and bad news from here until Election Day. I just can't imagine a huge groundswell of support forming for Romney or any of the other nominees and, frankly, the prospect of a brokered convention with a "White Knight" nominee who might emerge as the party standard bearer to "save" the party and win the WH seems very unlikely IMHO. Articles like this, however, need to help keep the heat turned up on our end so that we work like mad crazy to win not only the WH but do well at the local and state races as well.
