Ignore everything until well after the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primaries. Historically, the party's nomination is hardly even known until after those events.

Currently the many who only crave power are shooting themselves in the foot. Or pissing in their pants.

None of it matters. The National Game has become too corrupt. Whoever gets voted(?) in under the current system and set of laws will not be a representative of the people - not whoever is President and not whoever gets into Congress.

The current deadlock in Congress is ample evidence of this. Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle want their owners to see that the Congressmen are voting for the ideologies they have been paid to back. Congress does not care that they have managed to lower the US's credit rating. Congress does not care that unemployment remains at 9%. Congress does not care about the American people. Period.

And Obama doesn't seem to care that much, either. He doesn't seem to be making an effort to even rally his own party - not really.

So, I am returning the favor.
