Reply #26: Lets take a look at the possibilities.

Jeb is going to be the GOP nominee more then likely, the signs of that have started already. The Democratic Party doesn't appear to have someone yet to field that appears outstandingly storng.. Hillary would be disaster etc, we still have some time though.

Bush and the Republicans absolutely fucked up so bad many of us thought there is no way they will get back in much less pick up power but it happened. So as far as bad things occuring I'm not sure what it would take another Great Depression scenario maybe to turn that tide, but as of right now people are willing to forgo economic issues even at their own expense.

If there is any kind of terror attack we will see a GOP President, probably Jeb. That will be as close as people can get to W and still not change horses.

So really what we need is:
1. A great charismatic candidate which can capture states like Missouri, those states which are just barely red and do go blue.
2. An economy that is even worse then it is now.
3. No terror event, although this could be spun in the GOP favor so terror is a loose loose for us in my opinion.
4. An impartial media or at least evened out with our own partisan message.
5. Fair voting.

We have a tough road ahead.
