Hah!
I’m at a loss to understand the vitriole directed at me over a simple statement that I thought the debate was premature and didn’t include many of the better known and more likely candidates who will surely declare in a few months.
I honestly wasn’t thinking about Sarah in this regard. I hope she gets in the race but I don’t know.
This debate was so low profile that I totally forgot it and I think most people did also. I would have tivo’d it had I remembered and, after reading this thread and hearing Rush I wish I had.
What did you and some other person get so angry about my post? Yes, my first preference is Sarah and Ryan. Sarah because I like everything about her and I think she has the best chance to ignite the conservatives and win. Ryan because although one may nitpick his plan, at least he has one and I like what I’ve heard of it.
It just seemed like such a hostile and sarcastic over-reaction on your part that I’m afraid I reacted in kind.
I apologize ... if you will. We all want a conservative who will beat Obama. If Cain is nominated, I’ll certainly vote for him.
The 5 who did show should not be disparaged, nor should SC.
Those who aspire to the office are the ones who deserve greater scrutiny....why are they waiting, what do they fear or feel they gain by not showing up?
While large numbers of candidates at debates can diminish the amount we learn about individuals, the fringe candidates can often inject new ideas, of reveal warts on front-runners.
For those who seek the best candidate possible, the more candidates and debates the better.
I certainly learned much about the 5, it's a shame that some already have a horse hitched to their cart before seeing the entire herd.
Do you want your sulky pulled by Eyore or Secretariat?
