IMO Trump is just getting all the publicity he can. No chance of him being a serious candidate. I would like to see Mr Obama's birth certificate though.

Pawlenty maybe, but I agree he probably doesn't have enough gravitas.

Romney has a shot, he has the looks and the charisma. He's comes off smart and also has a strong fiscally conservative message. I like him better than any of the others so far. Liked him better than McCain in '08.

I disagree that just about anyone could beat Mr. Obama, it's going to take a very good candidate to unseat him. His personal popularity is still pretty high, and he's far better at campaigning than doing the job.

Plus there are entire voting segments Mr. Obama is guaranteed to take without even trying. 97% of the black vote regardless of their political ideology, 100% of the union vote, 99% of the liberal vote, the majority of the Hispanic vote, the majority of voters college age and younger (those who've had their way mostly paid for them so far), and the majority of government employees.

His plea for America to give him more time to change Washington will be powerful. He'll also crow loudly that to vote Republican is to return to the ways of the evil GW Bush. No, I wouldn't count our President out for another term at all. In fact, unless a very strong Republican candidate emerges, we're staring straight down the barrel of another 4 years of Barack Hussein Obama.
