[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 824836, member: 12570"] I will admit that I fell for his hopey/changey thing hook, line and sinker. I am sure I was not the only one. There is no denying that he is a great speaker, teleprompter or not. He has the ability to draw a crowd and have them hanging on his each and every word. His campaign stops were like rock concerts. That was really all he needed to get elected as the country was desperate for change no matter its form. He will need much more than that to get re-elected, especially if the Republicans are able to offer strong opposition. Donald Trump is not the answer. He talks a good game but enjoys the limelight too much and would better serve a Republican administration as a Cabinet member. Ditto for Sarah Palin (without the Cabinet member part). Mitt Romney has the people skills and ability to get people to work together toward a common goal and may be the most viable candidate at this point. The Republicans would be best served if they are able to field a candidate who possesses the collective key qualities of the current frontrunners. Trumps' business sense, Palin's common sense and Romney's people sense are the first three off the top of my head. Nov. 2012 is not that far away and unless the Republicans get their act together Obama need not worry about scheduling moving trucks. P.S. Does it really take $1B to get re-elected? [/QUOTE]
