Reagan Would Struggle with Today's Republican Party

Jeb Bush said that both Ronald Reagan and his father George H. W. Bush "would have had a difficult time getting nominated by today's ultra-conservative Republican Party," BuzzFeed reports.

Said Bush: "Ronald Reagan would have, based on his record of finding accommodation, finding some degree of common ground, as would my dad -- they would have a hard time if you define the Republican party -- and I don't -- as having an orthodoxy that doesn't allow for disagreement, doesn't allow for finding some common ground."

He added that he views the hyper-partisan moment as "temporary" but called it "disturbing."

What Would Obama Do in a Second Term?

Ryan Lizza: "Obama's campaign is well aware that he may end up like Jimmy Carter or George H. W. Bush, the two most recent one-term Presidents, who were both defeated despite some notable-even historic-accomplishments, including the Camp David Accords, under Carter, and the Gulf War, under Bush... Many White House officials were reluctant to discuss a second term; they are focused more on the campaign than on what comes after. But the ostensible purpose of a political campaign is to articulate for the public what a candidate will do if he prevails."

Said David Axelrod: "It's a tension. On the one hand, you don't want to be presumptuous in assuming a second term. But campaigns are about the future, and there is an imperative to spell out where we're going."

"Obama has an ambitious second-term agenda, which, at least in broad ways, his campaign is beginning to highlight. The President has said that the most important policy he could address in his second term is climate change, one of the few issues that he thinks could fundamentally improve the world decades from now. He also is concerned with containing nuclear proliferation."

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s last speech

My first vote went for McGovern...I just wanted to get out of the draft ( my lottery number was 50-they had announced that they would be conscripting up to 98!). Being the only candidate running on an "end the draft bring the boys home" platform McGovern was my man!

This election? 


Obama..."I need 4 more years to bring that hope change thing I promised".
Romney..."Anything you need to hear". "Honest"!
Gingrich..." ME KNOW"!
Santorum..."Let there be ME"!
Paul...".John Birch Society"?
Perry..." I look the most like Reagan"!
Huntsman..."who"?
