That's the problem with the GOP, we always find a way to run a worse person. Problem is, the religious right still holds the GOP hostage, one can't win the nomination without them, but can't win the election pandering to them....America is too socially liberal now.

I agree with your list......although I place Bush at the top of it as best chance to win.

The GOP needs to reform to catch up with modern America, at the moment it's gotten stuck around the 1960s/70s, while the rest of the nation has moved on.

But you shouldn't have used an apostrophe in "oxymorons".

Also, since "oxymoron" refers to two terms used together that don't really belong together, it would be an oxymoron, as in one, not two.

Also, "oxymoron" is usually used to describe two words in a single phrase, such as "military intelligence", "living death", or "open secret".

Fear not.

It's OK for Hillary to throw Obama under the bus....

As long as it isn't the back of the bus.

There must be an election coming up?

Too bad both parties seem to have dopey candidates (atm). Obama should just run for a third term.

Not likely.

If Hillary's bumper sticker reads COUNTING THE DAYS UNTIL 2016!, then Obama's sticker reads DITTO!

I don't think we've had a president who looked so checked out already since Buchanan in 1861.
