re: #917 Phil.

If you are counting on the economy to be terrible still in four years so we can win, that’s a blazingly stupid and harmful strategy.

After we hit bottom, and I think we have, the economy will typically in even severe recessions recover at least 80 percent of it’s value within 9 months.

I don’t like Obama’s policies either, but anti-science, anti-gay, and religious right curmudgeons helped him win. Religion has become nihilistic to most people under 25 if you haven’t noticed, and the next election they’ll be later twenties, and likely voting. What’s the religious right doing to win them over? Is Jindal going to be inspiring to them when they find out he’s anti science? The media is going to make that one year long smear even if by miracle he somehow gets the nomination. We will have Obama again, and good luck with that. Jindal’s the worst person to put against Obama.
