Watched Noam Chomsky the other evening. He said that the very rich vote to stay very rich, but they aren't large enough to sway an election. Next he said were white males, who vote guns and a vague "religiosity".

I think that's true, and bode's ill for Obama. However, Perry is so completely hypocritical, as are Palin and Bachmann, that I can't see how he's viable in a population with an average IQ of over 80 and any morals at all.

Leaving Romney, who would be an attractive candidate. However, having read the Book of Mormon, I'm afraid of anyone who claims to believe it. Not bad people, by the way, but suckers for strange conspiracies.

The Tea Party stuff I've seen distributed against Obama is vicious, easily disproved and believed by them. I'm thinking that particular insanity won't spill over to the General Population. And Perry will be saddled with, or allied to, the Tea Party.

I'd bet on Obama right now. The Presidency is a hard thing go run against and when push came to shove he did all right. The only problem he has is trying to negotiate with people who advocated killing him and blocking every thing he tried to do.
