Cain is actually polling second in mitty’s New Hampshire. If he can hold that position in NH, a romney win can be construed as a loss. Seriesly.
perry OTOH, is polling behind huntsman. Unbelievable.
It's issues like this that has me watching FOX to a minimum. FOX Business News is all that is left.
I think Rove’s actual winning track record is worse than that of Dick Morris. Lately, it has gotten even worse. Maybe it would improve to almost as good if he could hire a prostitute who’d allow him to suck her toes.
I suspect Cain can also give Mitty a serious fight in Michigan.
Not really. Huntsman wears spray-on tan. Perry wears spray-on conservatism. Neither sells well with a lot of voters.
Or, there may not be.
I think Cain can give mitt a serious fight ANYWHERE...except maybe Utah and NH. He is polling in double digits in NH and way behind romney but he is the only one that is polling even that well and he is just beginning to set up there. I would LOVE to see rove swallow his tongue...or at least bite it.
Karl Rove is finished.
And, "the People" are beginning to be engaged and to see through the partisan bickering and "politics."
Palin often talked about "shaking up" Washington, but "politics as usual" is not going to shake up anything. "Politics as usual" will simply re-elect Obama.
A common sense world view, combined with a passion for the liberty envisioned by America's Founders are the qualities an American leader needs. In a head-to-head debate, Obama loses on both these counts, if his opponent can clearly articulate his views.
According to rove, we don’t need elections. They are annointed by the beltway boys.
Rove wants Romney to be the nominee in 2012 and hopes the Tea Party will go do with Romney, who will lose and they can run Jeb in 2016 with Rover returning to the White House.
IMHO...
The general election is far different from the Republican primary.
Cain would win in a landslide as many in the political center would vote for him as well as many who are conservative. He has an image that is completely unlike any Republican baggage from the past but still reminiscent of a past that Republicans take pride in. But much more than that, as a non-politician, he has the appeal of a Presidency that would be beholden more to the people at large than any political machine. In times of great problems, liberals will accept conservatism if it comes with success, since they know that we do not live in a totalitarian state and that a conservative President has checks and balances on their power.
Bachmann could win if conservatives actually supported her - the Repub candidate in the race with the most conservative track record (go figure?). But they stand idly by while MSNBC, CNN, etc., bash her. All she needs is support in order to be able to succeed at promoting true conservative values. Conservatives should stop allowing the media to tell them which conservative candidates will be “allowed” to be run and which will not. When she got negative press, all these conservative groups should have flooded the airwaves with all sorts of responses that gave her more coverage, thereby gaining name recognition.
Romney would have a very difficult time differentiating himself from Obama to win many blue-dog Dem votes, and a very difficult time motivating die-hard conservatives to turn out - and actually not vote for Obama to send a message to the Republican party. While the Republican machine sees him as the “next in line”, their support of him has many Republicans turning off on the establishment, seeing it for what it is. One has to only imagine how a candidate that is so heavily favored by the RNC can’t keep a lead in the race to understand how conservative voters are wanting either a complete re-make of the Republican party platform or a new party altogether.
Perry would be in much the same category as Romney; perhaps worse, because he can’t get away from a superficial view of his persona being so similar to one of GWB’s. Blue dogs would be up for grabs, but the left would turn out huge to vote against him, painting him as a virtual return of GWB.
Paul, like Cain, would do very well against Obama. A die-hard conservative might vote for him as would so many in the center.
Santorum, having a clean-cut image of a stereotypical Republican, would enable the left to gin up a lot of support against him. He would have a tough battle against Obama, but would get a lot of Republican support.
By all of these candidates remaining in the race and getting news coverage, they keep the pressure on politicians to respond to the will of the people, as opposed to politicians relying on the media they are in bed with (or subject to) to propagandize the people if there are only 1 or 2 candidates in the running.
The Enemy Within.
I was wondering if Tim Russert's little dry-erase board would have a second life.
Clearly, Rove has a favorite, he’s just not saying who it is.
However, as much as I respect him for the “W” wins, he’s been wrong on just about everything else.
He is one of many reasons I don't watch much Fox News anymore.
Just which team does Karl actually play for?
Probably the highest bidder.
