Trump.

But some repubs will stay home when Trump admits in primaries that he isn't going to rule out trying to grab every rifle in America 5 minutes after he takes office.

And part of beating obama (51% at Gallup now?) is motivating every possible GOp voter. I know that until 2005, I was a 100% gun rights voters - single issue. There are lots of people like that. If you thought ppl stayed home for pro-gun mccain, then you have to believe some will stay home because both candidates support the AWM (and trump has admitted it - obama hasn't!)

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #160 on:** March 19, 2011, 05:53:08 AM »

So who do you think would be the best pick to beat obama and motivate gop voters?

Personally - I think that is christie at this point.

President proves to be hoops guru
Yahoo! Sports ^ | 3-18-11 | Dan Wetzel

(snip)

Barack Obama picked 29 of the 32 games so far correctly on his bracket. He just went a blistering 29-3 in the first round. While millions of Americans have had their brackets busted, Obama’s is almost perfectly intact after two days of play. (snip)

Other than that, he has ridden a wave of success from favorites that have mostly robbed the vaunted tournament of its signature small-school upsets but proven money for those, such as Obama, who picked few upsets. Obama’s score would rank him in the top 1 percent of the masses who played the Yahoo! Tournament Pick’em Game. He appears capable of scoring higher than any player on Yahoo! and perhaps any of the other bracket contests on the Internet. (snip)

Obama is a basketball fan. As President, he has taken in college games in person and expressed that he regularly watches on TV. Participating in the filling out of a bracket would seem to be a typical political maneuver to bolster a connection with millions of Americans. Showing such proficiency at picking the teams, though, may not be what the White House hoped. Just how much college basketball has the President been watching? Newt Gingrich criticized Obama this week for his “fixation” on the Final Four in lieu of other issues. Actually, Obama’s selections may suggest he isn’t that devout a fan. His picks were overwhelmingly for name programs and favorites – simply following the seedings of the selection committee. (snip)

It’s a chalk event thus far, easier to pick for the casual fan than the hardcore one who over-thinks things. Or perhaps President Obama really knows his stuff (snip)

And he's up to 51% on Gallup. People can identify with a winner.

33, I'm just surprised you aren't criticizing him for the 3 games he got wrong

I dont follow basketball and find his preoccupation with bball instead of his job while the world is on fire truly revolting.

He is like the crack whore who won the mega millions.

Reember that first base head who won lotto in the 80's wth he top hat and who went broke like a year later? H won like 5 mill back in the day ad then was famous for being broke two years later.

Thatis obama.

I can spin that, you know this.

He picks a fun bracket and moves to 51% with voters. This helps him maintain his lead over repubs, lets him win 4 more years in office, and he can then "help" the nation with another 4 years of his policy.

Picking NCAA teams is akin to anyone else handing out business cards to secure future work, or faking presidential runs to garner ratings for their TV Show (no ~~homo~~ trump).

Gingrich On Libya: Thankfully, French Not Distracted By Brackets
TPM via Drudge ^ | 3/18/2011

Newt Gingrich told reporters today that the Libyan rebels have France's lack of bracket fever to thank for the no-fly zone that will soon protect them from aerial attacks by embattled dictator Muammar Qaddafi.

Asked about the U.N. Resolution authorizing military intervention in Libya -- something Gingrich has been pushing for a while now -- Gingrich ripped President Obama for not acting sooner, and again mocked him for his March Madness bracket.

"I was, frankly, very disappointed that [Nicolas] Sarkozy did not share with us his Final Four picks," Gingrich said, referring to the French president, who's nation has led the push for military intervention in Libya. "And i think it's his failure to understand the Final Four that allowed him to focus on Libya on a way tha. Clearly, if he had understood the American system he would have understood that his is not a good week to deal with Libya because this is the week to deal with Kansas, Ohio State, and you know things that were really important."

Eh, I dunno. Obama was against it. He paid it some lip service, but like berserker said on the other thread, Gadaffi is about to finish off the rebels and the USA is certainly not leading any charge to help anyone.

We voted teh right way, but pretty much stayed out of it - something that most getbiggers seemed to agree was the right move here.

What's teh big deal here? Rebels hate us, kadaffi hate us. They'd all piss on our graves if they had the chance. Why fund a war to help one of those sides?
