It is you who is misunderstanding what "Generic numbers" mean. If the people were simply 'anyone but Obama', we would we would see that in all of the actual names polled against him. We don't. All of the actual Republicans have worse approval ratings than Obama does. All of them trail Obama in the polls. Find Mr. Generic, maybe you will have a shot. Palin is an idiot, a blank slate with no values or principles whatsoever.
I voted for a ROCK..with some guys cat as VP. If they stayed out of our lives..we all win. Imagine the Rock at a press conference. Being introduced to a joint session of Congress.. " ladies and gentlemen.. President Rock.." Followed by thunderous ovation. The Rocks approval rating 82.2 % Congress 12%
