We'll likely not have any choice but Republican or Democrat due to Oklahoma's strict rules for ballot access - more guns to heads!<br /><br />Democracy got lost somewhere along the way.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-77798735655091943412012-04-17T23:26:30.116-05:002012-04-17T23:26:30.116-05:00I've read your analysis and completely agree w...I've read your analysis and completely agree with you. But I also agree with your husband. There's never a guarantee we won't get another Thomas, Scalia or Roberts but its less likely with a Democrat. Personally, I'm a registered independent.

I often think about a remark of Obama's in the 2008 debates, when the candidates were asked about what they dislike about their jobs(or something to that effect) and Obama said he doesn't like doing desk work, he delegates all that to others. Now, while, as a super-manager of sorts, the Prez must obviously delegate a lot, still his pat remark rang warning bells for me. :-)<br /><br />The possibility of HC being brought in keeps popping up, then she keeps knocking it down. - But if Obama seemed to be trailing when the campaign proper gets underway, who knows what they'd try; they would possibly play on her sense of duty, which I suspect is quite acute.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-67698373760479771022012-04-17T15:59:48.233-05:002012-04-17T15:59:48.233-05:00Error~~~ they're should be their

Safe to say he won't be getting any special handling or coddling during the debates this time around and, rather than casting blame on others, I suspect Saturn will force him to take responsibility. If Obama refuses, Saturn will have some harsh lessons to teach.<br /><br />But a friend of mine who's politically adept has insisted since Obama started running for Pres in 2008 that his endgame has always been the post-Presidency career. His interest in governing is slight and it's really the sitting on the Boards -- i.e., doing nothing for a lot of money -- and "running" Foundations and selling books and living the life of an ex-President that has interested him.<br /><br />As for Romney, with his Progressed Moon having recently entered Aries, if I were Obama I wouldn't assume this is in the bag. I'm in NYC and have yet to find one person planning on voting for Obama or, at the very least, even mildly excited at the prospect of having to vote for Obama.<br /><br />Then again, I wouldn't rule out a Hillary VP surprise at some point to pep up the troops.kicksoticnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-24360742275932403092012-04-17T13:50:27.682-05:002012-04-17T13:50:27.682-05:00Wisewebwoman ~~ Yes - it'll take time for any...Wisewebwoman ~~ Yes - it'll take time for any new party to gather strength. No sign of anything doing yet in the US. There are bits and pieces of third + parties around but none strong enough to get onto the ballots of all states - so in the end they're existence is meaningless. It's a waiting game.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-16084560086938029432012-04-17T13:46:17.820-05:002012-04-17T13:46:17.820-05:00DC ~~ Hi!

I can watch from the sidelines without caring much who "wins".<br /><br />Our election gift will have either a blue bow or a red bow on it, the box will have much the same content.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-82041393412257893672012-04-17T11:22:31.697-05:002012-04-17T11:22:31.697-05:00I can't tell the difference between the 2 part...I can't tell the difference between the 2 parties any more.

And Saturn conjunct O`s Venus. <br /><br />My interpretation: Romney will prevail. Early Nov. Jupiter, retrograding but still almost conjunct Romney`s Uranus, and to become stationary by end Jan. 2013 (Inauguration) on Romney`s NN. From there, direct again by end Jan. 2013, Jupiter will soon be conjunct R`s Uranus, while Saturn will have completed his transit over O`s very nebulous Neptune (citing your blog, T.), putting an end to that `dream of a presidency`?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
