Republicans, who meet at the end of this month, have hired a full-time blogger and will feature a “Social Media War Room.”
Great - more misleading propaganda from both parties, who, evidently, are at war. Sigh... we used to spend more time on war outside the US, not against our own citizens, but I guess airfare is expensive these days... another cutback.

A report released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center found that Obama’s campaign was more active than Romney’s on the digital front.
Which is to say Republican politics in America, as bad as it is, has not degenerated into the cult of personality that is the Obama presidency.
As with the election, we will see the Republicans closing their convention with the slightly embarrassing chants of U-S-A, or something along those lines - - country first, or G-d Bless America.
But with the Dem's convention finale we will undoubtedly witness yet again the repugnant spectacle of the faithful chanting the name of their savior, Obama.

That's actually a fair statement old friend, given Mitt Romney has no personality.

Oh, I do - all day Thursdays and Monday evenings every second week of the month (except leap years). It's just a matter of pinning Mr Romney down at the right moment with whichever crowd he's trying to please at any given time.
Heh, I mostly don't like him not because of the moderate he really is, but because of who he has sold out to in his efforts to win the presidency. Unfortunately, it's the radical right he has leaped into bed with that is going to lose him the presidency.

Maybe you can develop these thoughts Sail with a little substance?
If you're claiming Obama sold out the Auto Workers by bailing them out (instead of Romney's desire for them to go under), then I'm all ears.

This is hilarious - the conservatives AND their candidate have sold their souls to the latest loser - this time it's Mitt Romney.
Romney's positions on key issues have been all over the ideological map - north, south, east, west and back again multiple times.
When the conservatives vote this November, they'll essentially be voting for "Mitt Romney - November 2012 Version."
But who knows - Mitt might change his position again while the conservatives are on the way to the ballot box.
If things weren't already bad enough, Mitt's selection of Ryan is the deal breaker - Ryan's a tea party pin-up boy and will drive away the independents even more. Toward voting Democrat.
When the conservatives get swept under the rug this November, I wonder who they'll put up in 2016?
On odds alone, they couldn't possibly field a more degenerate bunch of losers than they did in these latest primaries, but that's the thing with the conservatives - you can ever count them out to stoop even lower than they did the last time. :-)
If Hillary Clinton runs in 2016 after Barack HUSSEIN Obama completes his second term, and with the ongoing surge in the Latino vote, the odds are real good the GOP will never win again.
Bring it on. :-)

Happy to, I'll start with a a very recent article by Forbes on GM's current future outlook.
General Motors Is Headed For Bankruptcy -- Again
President Obama is proud of his bailout of General Motors. That’s good, because, if he wins a second term, he is probably going to have to bail GM out again. The company is once again losing market share, and it seems unable to develop products that are truly competitive in the U.S. market.
Right now, the federal government owns 500,000,000 shares of GM, or about 26% of the company. It would need to get about $53.00/share for these to break even on the bailout, but the stock closed at only $20.21/share on Tuesday. This left the government holding $10.1 billion worth of stock, and sitting on an unrealized loss of $16.4 billion.
And the guy that has no personality can answer it when Detroit was bailed out in the first place:
Let Detroit go bankrupt
By Mitt Romney
If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for on Tuesday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed. …
Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself. With it, the automakers will stay the course – the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses. Detroit needs a turnaround, not a check.

Sail, GM's structural problems have nothing to do with government - they are purely internal.
The TARP bailout has ensured 80,000 GM direct employees and approximately 1,000,000 indirect downstream workers have remained employed.
It would take sheer insanity to judge that this could be worse than having all - or even some of - these workers lose their jobs.
sailwind at Aug. 19, 2012 - 02:24AM JST
Then explain how it became a U.S taxpayer problem to bail them out.
