I was told, numerous times, by "reliable sources", that she was washed up and wasn't running. Besides, how could she compete in Iowa without a huge organization? And Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who is a declared candidate, comes from next door and has been campaigning there got zero votes?

You mean the FOX all stars might be wrong, she’s ahead of Christie and Jeb?

Pray for America

I’m not the least bit surprised at the results.

Cain is a breath of fresh air ... moreso a lung-full of oxygen to a gasping, drowning people
Palin is the “monster under the dems bed”, they have denied her, said she is no longer relevant, that she is just the second seat in a losing run ... keep thinking that dem’s

See y’all in November 2012

You mean like Dr. Charles Krauthammer?

“In 1978, Krauthammer quit medical practice to direct planning in psychiatric research for the Jimmy Carter administration, and began contributing to The New Republic magazine. During the presidential campaign of 1980, Krauthammer served as a speech writer to Vice President Walter Mondale.”

This is good to hear. The two candidates I personally consider top shelf. I hope it keeps up and let the best one win.

“surprising”

>>>>Is this going to be the new drinking word for the 2012 election cycle?

I bet they get on well

2 great American leaders with guts

I can imagine one supporting the other when one of them wins the nomination

but then again maybe one will be VP for the other

I heard a rumor that Steve Hayes and Charles Krauthammer are involved romantically. Now it`s only a rumor,am sure there is nothing to it?? I should not even have mentioned it, but it came from a email from Jonah Goldberg, seems Jonah was jealous because he is also quite fond of Charles..

Palin has gone out of her way to speak positively about each prospective GOP candidate—while acknowledging where they may have different visions and policies for the country than she does.

With Cain, the two have very similar visions and policies, though different preparatory backgrounds.
