Theory about 2012 Presidential Race

[ConservativeMan55]

We're beginning to see some strong candidates drop out.

Why? Perhaps these candidates feel if they band together to support one person that will make the candidate who goes against Obama that much stronger.

What if candidates like Romney, Huckabee, Trump, Gingrich, Santorum..all drop out and then they all banded together and they each used their own strengths to campaign for the nominee.

Imagine all those candidates supporting either Cain or Palin or Bachman.

[monocle]

Someday maybe someone will correctly read Trump’s foray into the nominating lottery. There is a lesson to be learned but many at this site will be afflicted with a massive attack of cognitive dissonance.

Watching Bachman and Palin in a debate would be a blast.

Especially if the opponents were Zero and whomever (presumably not Plugs, LOL).

[meadsjn]

In the casino business, perhaps it was like forcing the dealer to load a fresh, unmarked deck of cards.

[cynwoody]

The GOP Machine almost always nominates the next guy in line and that would be Romney.

He also has the cash.

He also has founder's rights to Form MA 1099-HC. For those of you in Rio Linda, that's the Individual Mandate.

The MittWit's not going to be President (unless he wins the nomination, in which case he will have my enthusiastic support).

[Havisham]

Wake up, you’re dreaming.

[cracker45]

You blew it when you included Newt in that line up!

Many dismiss the power of the media to swing elections.

[umbagi]

If Obama is such a shoe-in, why does he need a billion dollars?

To make sure the media stays bought...

[MagnoliaB]

The media is already owned by Soros.

[screaminsunshine]

Would there be much of a difference in Obama/Biden and Romney/Pawlenty?

[RVN Airplane Driver]

Would there be much of a difference in Obama/Biden and Romney/Pawlenty

You can't really be serious with that question....if you are serious you have a serious problem with your inability for any critical thinking...

[screaminsunshine]

Well what would it be? The only thing I can see is they may be able to keep the Ponzi going a little while longer. Like most socialists they still think it will work if only they are in charge.

[jazzlite]

I am wondering when people are going to awaken to learn that the leftist main stream media in our nation is our primary problem..Smart people know they will be personally crucified by this evil if they dare to commit to running against O'bama. Why are media people not scrutinized personally like they scrutinize everyone else? They are the source of our decline in every possible way..We will never be restored until light illuminates that darkness. Begin with the real personal stuff such as how much money do they make; How many times have they been to WH functions; Are they married and to whom; Do they have children; Where, in general do they live; Do they have a police record; Who did they vote for; Where did they go to school and what degree did they earn; Did they have to compete to get their job; Do they give to charity; Do they go to church and, if so, are they protestant, Catholic, or other. What organizations are they active in..I mean, folks, we need to know something about these people who have this kind of public influence in our society..And, the owners of the communications companies also need to be scrutinized. We rake oil company CEOs over the coals all the time..Why not the Media Moguls? The more conservative media are already under the microscope in many ways..Why not the leftist media, as well?

not gonna happen.

backstabber romney and his henchmen and henchwomen
already are planning their attacks on the GOP
if the GOP does not get on its knees before romney.

He did it before.
HE WILL DO IT AGAIN.

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

---

"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

---

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

---

"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

LOL!”(unless he wins the nomination, in which case he will have my enthusiastic support).”

Me too.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Doesn’t matter who the nominee is, we will all be voting for him or her.

We sat it out in 2008 and look what we got. Everyone here talked about their values and principles.

Are you really going to sit it out again?

[st.eqed]

Romney and the like will never gain my support. I trust that God will sustain us and deliver us from evil tyrants.

[Anima Mundi]

It does seem logically that Palin is next in line, doesn’t it? Maybe she will get in late after the media has taken out each frontrunner one by one and done the work for her. It is tricky. Too soon vs. too late.

[nolongerademocrat]

I didn’t sit out 2008 and I don’t plan to sit out 2012.
