Geez, Arraya, where did you get that photo? Hmmm, looks like Michelle got some skills….
I’m getting mental pictures of Bachmann fans with adolescent histories of using the infamous Farrah Fawcett swimsuit as an aid to self-gratification doing the same with this money shot…..

Eaves: I’m willing to be extremely understanding on a lot of topics, but “hands off” Farrah Fawcett! I HAD that poster and I, er, um, well… I had that poster.
Say what you will, but the 2012 election is going to be a barnburner! (Little nod to Iowa, there). As wacky as the GOP field is (Huntsman excepted), Obama is going to have his hands full and it’ll be difficult for the Dems to pull out a win (at this point, anyway).
Perry is far more formidable than anyone realizes and for one reason: JOBS. Rightly or wrongly (based on the actual facts behind the story), Texas is perceived as a jobs-creation engine. Yup, a lot of it is tied to oil and defense, but the raw numbers of jobs created will sell well to an electorate that is tired, frustrated and looking for a change (sound familiar?). Obama won in the same environment back in 2008. Intellectually, the Dems can throw out a solid, well-reasoned argument for exactly where we are and it won’t matter a jot. The GOP, if they’re smart, will fall back on a single talking point and that is JOBS. It’s still the economy, stupid, and if the economy fails to improve between now and Election Day, Obama is melba toast.
