No, everyone was talking about Rudy vs. Hillary for months, maybe even years, before things got rolling.
Isn’t it a little early to expect people to declare a candidate they’ll be voting for in somewhere north of 1145 days?
I disagree with the premise of your post. The great hope for 2012 centers on nominating Sarah Palin.
The race is on right now.
1. Heck no it’s not. I don’t care how bad this punk who’s headed to the white House is, anyone who’s thinking we should go an a four year long campaign cycle is not thinking straight.
2. 2010 first. We need to take back the House and do what we can in the Senate.
3. Even if your right, part of the race is choosing one’s candidate, and I think that we can allow our fellow conservatives 1,100 days or so to figure that out without demanding they pony up today.
How about Cheech and Chong, instead?
I assume your joking. No more people named Bush. Don’t even put them in the cabinet.
The war will be fought: if you prefer to not involve yourself in it, that is your prerogative.
However, many of those who try to put 2012 on the backburner are in fact trying to take the steam out the Sarah Palin engine and that effort will fail abysmally.
And they are ignoring the fact that now more than ever, conservatives need great individuals to rally around. Having that hope, through actively promoting those great individuals, will be the driving force for any positive change.
Personally, I’m looking at 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. All matter. None can be marginalized.
So, here we are again. Four years from the next election and already were squabbling like children. Hunter is the best! No, Palin is the best! No, Jindal! We truly are pathetic, and deserved to lose this election. Maybe we deserve to lose in 2012, too, until we learn the concept of electoral discipline: pick 2 serious candidates, and let the rest know to get with the program or get to steppin.
THANK YOU! This is exactly what's happening!
You really like Jindal?
I haven’t really read anything but Hunter from you...that makes me a bit more interested in Jindal. And believe me, I’m far from informed on him.

No, I hadn't, but it's copied & saved, and I will add it to "my stack of stuff." Thanks.
“No, he did not have a chance. The GOP was enamored with Rudy McRomeny. It wont happen again.”
The GOP took a while to completely warm-up to Reagan. 64’ to 81....I would say Hunter entered in the national spotlight just last year...as far as the common republican knows.
Right on.
