Newt as the professor.
—Romney was Romney. Romney was just there. He’s been there for four years now. Just always there. He does nothing. He offers nothing new. He’ll flip his position on a dime. He is a super nothing who is just simply there waiting to be anointed as in the days of old by the GOP elite just because it’s his turn. —
Wow. That guy summed up exactly how I feel about Romney, and did it in a very short paragraph.
palin.
Instead of constantly trashing Bachmann, you really need to look at her as insurance against the possibility that Palin doesn’t run. (yes I know, even suggesting it is blaspheme)
Because if she doesn’t, we’ll get saddled with Mitt Perry and be exactly where we are today with no one to blame but yourselves.
I don’t sit here and trash Palin. Instead I support all the conservatives. Bachmann isn’t the enemy of anyone but the same old crap.
Maybe that has something to do with the steady cancerous growth of the Federal govt. over the years? If you elect someone whose entire career involves being in govt. and pandering to special interests to keep himself in power, then you have only yourself to blame for the consequences.
Excellent summation, 2nd. Only thing I would change is that this has come down to a two man race: Perry vs Romney.
And I loved what you said about the GOP Elitist crowd not being able to appoint their favorite successor anymore because of the influence of the TEA PARTY!! YAY!
Mittens and Mrs. Mittens: you’d best wait before ordering the new drapes for the Lincoln bedroom.
Well I guess she wont be the VP now.
Gee, when did Paline declare she was running.
Primary candidacies are momentum based. Bachmann is finished. Palin wins the Most Popular Non-candidate prize. Fred would have won this prize last time, but he made the mistake of actually getting into the race. Palin is smarter than Fred, will play a very important part in any Republican administration, and may be president someday.
It’s Rerry or Romney.
The odds favor Perry. Both men have been vetted numerous times so scandals are unlikely. It’s Perry’s to lose. Romney’s candidacy rests on looking like a Student Body President, a George Bush Senior with less experience. Perry has sizzle and must only be careful not to say something very stupid. He’s being coached on that now.
Bachmann’s not a contender.
It’s Romney, Perry or Palin.
Yes, that pissed me off too. It's one thing to disagree with the policy in the first place, but, as Perry himself said, to assume he can be bought for a measly $5000, over (my point, not Perry's to follow) an issue I'm sure he knew would hurt him politically far more than the money would have benefited him, is ignorant at best, and downright insulting at worst.
I’m not sure Perry hurt himself, really, at least not as much as Bachmann did or even Romney.
Romney, IMHO, actually did poorly. He usually debates well on first glance, and comes across well. Last night he seemed off and Perry got the best of him.
