Like union busting Mitch Daniels,or Christie,or Jeb...what would that mean for President Obama?
is that too late for a new candidate build an organization or...Are Democrats really organized in all states to help the President win..
or is it just the Obama campaign that must lead the charge and build the organization themselves across the country like 2008?

(7,875 posts)and the zillions more that people like the Koch brothers are prepared to shell out, it's not impossible that they could spring a surprise candidate at the convention. It would be unprecedented if they did it, and they'd really be going into uncharted waters as far as how the public would react. I doubt they'll do anything like that, but if anybody could, it would be the Republicans. If they did do it, you can bet the organization would spring up over night because it will have been the plan all along.

The GOP will trot him out to adoring crowds and play films of 911 over and over and over.
They will then distribute "I Like IKE" buttons to the adoring masses and the MSM will go nuts droling over Patreus.
It's a done deal. Jeb may be the VP just to make sure the NEOCONS and Hedge Fund Hyenas get their Vig skimmed off the top of government operations.

It was said matter of factly that if one of the runners does not get the votes, they might run someone else.

(6,994 posts)he is an anti-union governor that is probably benefiting from the Koch Bros funding for recently backsliding and getting the right- to-work-law for pennies passed...On the national scene dont think he could make it but then there are billions out there just waiting to be spent on these Repukes and the tech people that are willing to rig the voting machines....
