Just watched President Obama. If he debates Gingrich he will plow his north fucking FORTY.

All he needs to do is sustain his current level of intensity and keep ramping it up.

If he ultimately faces off against Gingrich or Romney, it doesn't matter. Eyes on the prize. Stay lean, stay mean. I'm confident he's going to do it.

puts to rest that he is losing the student vote . As hard as the media is trying to portray that young people are for Ron Paul....

Got done listening to him about 20 minutes ago. The "he's lost the youth vote" meme is nonsense.

8. Oh yeah, corporate media was hard at work to portray Ron Paul as the Lord of Student Votes

and I'm sure there are some who will vote for that snake oil salesman, but President Obama will get the lion's share. That's for sure.

11. Let's give the "professional left" a little credit here. They were helping to disseminate the myth.

Godzilla Obama. The POTUS would be able to subtly goad Noot into rhetorically hanging himself within 30 minutes.

5. We call it "the back 40" - it's just a large open space in our yard.

Still, it takes a long time and a beer or two to mow.

9. I always thought it was 'the lower 40'. Not certain what the whole purpose is?

I was rooting for Newtie, but let's be real-Willard mopped the floor with him last night. The "Newt as Great Debater" meme has been utterly destroyed.

12. Debating Gingrich would be an insult to Obama and the office of the presidency

Romney has faults, but he's not an overt racist sexist f*cking criminal pig like the Newtster. Gingrich should not even be considered qualified to reach the level where he could debate an incumbent president.

As a criminal, Newt would not pass muster filling out a Federal job application, so he certainly can't be president.

We already have a great First Lady. I don't want to see a First Tramp in the WH.
