2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Roy Karrde]

After listening to the GOP debate tonight, I would say that the two winners are Cain... and Mr. Obama.

The GOP is in serious trouble. They're not only opposing Obama, they're opposing each other like hated rivals. They were acting like children at this debate. Cain was the only one who kept his cool throughout it all.

Bickering between rivals really does nothing in the general election as we have seen in 2008. If so we would have President McCain right now as Hillary and Obama had some of the nastiest campaign rhetoric seen in a long time.

In particular their remarks about immigration, taxes, and Israel will likely alienate Hispanic, Jewish, and middle class voters, groups that Obama is doing his best to cement his hold on.

Pandering to the Hispanic vote by ignoring our nation's immigration laws does not win them over as seen in 2008 with McCain. As for the Jewish vote, if they do care about Israel to the point it determines who they vote for, then Obama is in ALOT of trouble. As we saw recently with the Democrats losing Anthony Weiner's seat as Orthodox Jews voted in droves because of the administration's poor position on Israel.
