Will Republicans really have a chance in 2012...even though Obama is unpopular?

Younger more liberal generations will be eligible to vote in the next election..while the older Republican generations are dying off.

    I'm honestly not worried about the Republicans in 2012. People will wake up by then and realize that the Tea Party is wack. It's already happening; Policemen and Firemen (usually always voted Republican) are now swinging Democrat because of the Anti-Union views Republicans have.

    OBAMA 2012!

    True but there are more young people pissed off at Obama than any other liberal prez in recent memory. Obama is mocked by the younger generation like crazy

    By your logic; we will never have another Republican president again.

    If you learned anything from 2009 & 2010,

    never underestimate the stupidity of the average voter.

    In any event,

    I do think Obama is likely to maintain the presidency.

    based on 2 reasons:

    1. If a dummy like Bush can get reelected, surely Obama can.

    2. The GOP pool of candidates seems pretty weak this year.

    I'm pretty confident that Obama will get reelected.

    but the Republicans will take over congress unfortunately.

    Well, it's early and everyone has a chance.....you just never know

    what the voting public will do. To get us back to the America we've

    known and loved, it better be a Republican this time.

    The Republicans may well be the only chance this country has in 2012.

    I hate to break it to you, but not all young people are Democrats.

    Seriously, the Republicans do have a chance, but it will depend on the state of the economy next year.

    Yes they will. Mitt Romney and other candidates will put up a great fight but unfortunately Obama will probably win because he is projected to spend 1 billion dollars.....like most democrats he buys his way out of his problems.
