An emerging storyline about Republicans' presidential choices is that there aren't enough of them. At least that's what the media assure us with headlines like: "There's room for more GOP candidates."
There are those who remain convinced that even with nine officially declared and viable candidates for the GOP presidential nomination, the field could use more applicants.
The names thrown around include former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Rep. Paul Ryan, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former New York Gov. George Pataki. Ryan, Christie and Pataki have decided to stay out of the fray. But Palin and Giuliani might be interested in running.
That won't be necessary. It's not that they are not attractive candidates with a following. It's that there is nothing they could bring to this race that isn't provided by someone who is already in the race.
For those who like Palin's straight talk, there is Michele Bachmann. For those who like Giuliani's middle-of-the-road approach to tough issues, there is Mitt Romney. For those who think Palin could fire up religious voters, there is Rick Santorum. For those who think she could galvanize the Tea Party, there is Rick Perry. For those who like it that Giuliani appeals to Democrats and Independents, there is Jon Huntsman. And for those who appreciate that Giuliani knows how to take a punch and give one back, there is Newt Gingrich....

The expanding list of GOP candidates have the commie lib, shovel ready, dirt diggers humping their asses off. LOL! I love it when a plan comes together. The ‘RATS don’t know who to sling their mud and vomit at.
Why would I listen and read garbage from a CNN Obama ass-licker? Shouldn’t his question be “the Dems need more candidates than this failure of a president”?
“It’s that there is nothing they could bring to this race that isn’t provided by someone who is already in the race. “
And that, childrem, is how Hillary Clinton became president.

............................................ And that is my in gut feeling. I’m thinking, Obama is going to pull an LBJ at the last moment.
