This disarray in the Republican Party has reached some dizzying depth, Bill OReilly explained last night, as no candidate or public official has taken hold of the party. With several candidates as long shots or complete unknowns, OReilly concluded Mitt Romney had the best chance, but no one was going to defeat President Obama without having a little Trump in them.
OReilly began his program last night with a quick evaluation of each candidate left: Newt Gingrich is done as a serious candidate, he explained, why Rep. Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and Rick Santorum were long shots. Sarah Palin could be a game-changer, he predicted, but nobody knows what the heck shes going to do. This left Romney is the strongest position, but even he was severely vulnerable. OReilly also took the chance to argue that it really isnt early in the race. Summers going to fly by, he noted, leaving not so much time for fundraising.
OReilly then welcomed Chris Wallace, who seemed to find OReillys scenario prematurely dire. Its much more competitive than that, Wallace warned, youre overstating the disarray. Wallace noted that Texas governor Rick Perry could be the frontrunner if he jumps into the race, though OReilly argued that there was a serious deficit of name recognition on his part. Youve got fiefdoms all over the place, OReilly explained, such that there was no unified leader. He also finally got to the bigger unknown in the race, Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, who he said he liked but needed a little Trump in him. The guy is invisible, you cant even see him! OReilly joked. Wallace, who is interviewing Pawlenty on Fox News Sunday this week, thanked OReilly for the soundbite and once again downplayed his statements, noting Pawlenty has been trying to become more vocal in his attacks on President Obama.

No one’s leading the party? It’s JUNE of 2011! This is way too soon! Geez!
Auditioning for a job opening in the current administration as Propaganda Czar is what he does night after night. One thing for sure, he's true to his roots; he remains as much an "entertainer" as he was in his Entertainment Tonight days. His personal opinions give him book revenues and a cushy job (for those so inclined to be impressed), but don't amount to squat to those of us who make our own sound and reasonable opinions.
The LSM can’t believe she outsmarted them. They truly don’t believe she has a brain.
I think she’s still praying just to be sure, but she knows in her heart what she must do and that’s run for the nomination!
Romney reaffirms that global warming is real
.Mitt Romney yesterday reaffirmed his view that global warming is occurring and that humans are contributing to it.....
Pen!
This little town’s newspaper editors have written a glowing endorsement of Sarah Palin!!!
I am thrilled!!
I do too and I love finding reasons to post it!
FOX all in with the establishment - witness Kraut, Rove, Morris, et al.
“I dont know much about Perry or Pawlenty, but they looks strong serious candidates.”
When they can draw the crowds of people that Sarah can just by showing up I’ll agree with you.......trouble is, no other GOP candidate can draw “Palin sized” crowds.....
BTW, before you object, She IS running......it’s clearly evident.
That’s wonderful! I’ll go check it out online!
WOOHOO!!
I hope it’s available to read online! Title is:
ARE YOU READY TO HEAR; ‘SARAH PALIN FOR PRESIDENT’?
One week day between 8-9 I will turn it to FOX and discover Bill O’Reilly’s show has been cancelled.
So? Who cares what O’Reilly thinks.
O’Reilly doesn’t know Shiite from Shinola.
All he does is pontificate the “conventional wisdom” and then act like it is original with him. A guest disagrees? Not for long before Baxter shouts him down.
The loudest and most ignorant windbag in the history of TV.
Romney can’t lose fast enough for me.
Rove is a pompous ass but not a crank like Krauthammer.
Dick Morris is somewhat entertaining as I love to hear all of the juicy stuff from his years working for Willy. He thinks he is a genius though. Sorry but the whole toe sucking thing, yeah, but Fox is a joke.
And ever time I see Bob Beckel I want to break the television set.
Hey Bill it ain't workin'!!
O Reilley has absolutely no respect for women so who cares what he thinks.
Who cares what O’Reilly says?
