The GOP is so desperate for an "Anybody but Romney" alternative that it is going to be funny watching you all drag yourselves to the polling places on election day when Romney is your inescapable, irresistible, unavoidable, destined, and doomed choice.
The election is up for grabs.. if Chris Christie decides to run

That ain't going happen either. The GOP loves their political saviors from a distance but up close they fail to pass the GOP purity test. Case in point - Rick Perry.
For crying our loud - Jesus couldn't pass the GOP purity test - for one thing - no birth certificate.

Poll: Cain tops 3-way race with Romney, Gingrich
In the Republican race for the presidential nomination, Newt Gingrich's support continues to slowly grow, and he is now tied with Mitt Romney for second place, while Herman Cain just edges both of them out for the top spot. Both Cain and Romney have lost support since late October.

WASHINGTON -- The Republican presidential race is being shaken up again, with Mitt Romney retaking the lead, Newt Gingrich surging into second place, and Herman Cain dropping to third place, according to a new McClatchy-Marist nationwide poll released Friday.
The poll of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents signaled that Romney retains his steady if uncommanding position and that, in the quest by most Republicans for an alternative, they've cooled on Cain and are turning to Gingrich. It's the first national survey taken entirely since the allegations of sexual harassment against Cain erupted into a full political firestorm this week.
"Clearly this race has taken yet another dramatic turn. The top tier has gotten more crowded," said Lee M. Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion at Marist College in New York, which conducted the poll.
"Romney is still where he's been. It's fair to say this is a battle for the anybody-but-Romney candidate," Miringoff said. "Gingrich has now begun his 15 days of fame. Whether he is able to maintain that, as others have fallen, is the question. He may be the only one standing when this is all said and done."
The breakdown of the poll:
-Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, 23 percent.
-Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, 19 percent.
-Cain, the former restaurant executive, 17 percent.

This is why President Obama will likely win a second term:
As long as the democrats present the facts to the public about who got us into this mess, and how, the facts themselves will expose the republican platform as absurdly dishonest and hypocritical. And when the republican candidate (whoever it is) continues to spout off all the same tired lies that they have been spouting off since Reagan, the public is going to hear the shallow ring of corporate propaganda in every word.[/quote]
I assume you're aware that Clinton balanced the budget because Republicans took control of both houses of Congress.
Educate yourself before putting up graphs. Graphs don't tell the entire story.
"Myths are not lies," Tolkien countered, among the swaying trees of Magdalen Grove. Materialistic progress leads only to the abyss, Tolkien said, but the myths we tell reflect a fragment of the true light. He argued the Christ story functions as a myth, just like the Scandinavian myths they had loved, with one difference: The Christian myth was true.

I remember the fight over the budget. The republicans threatened to shut down the government, if Clinton didn't do the budget their way. He called their bluff, after a few days, they folded, and did it his way.
So no, that's not what happened. Clinton imposed a budget on Congress.
If that wasn't so, why did republican presidents who had control of Congress run up much larger deficits than the democrats?
