It's Way Too Early to Pick 2012 Contenders
News Max ^ | June 28, 2009 | S.E. Cupp

Posted on 06/28/2009 9:56:49 PM PDT by RobinMasters

There are fewer than 1,230 days until the next presidential election in 2012. That's 3 1/3 years, or 41 months, or 175 weeks. Anyway you break it down, it's quite a while.

And in campaign politics, it's nothing short of a lifetime. News breaks in seconds these days, and the era of buckling down in anticipation of that single, inevitable campaign game-changer has been replaced by a new one, in which game-changers occur over and over and over again, frustrating and exhausting the campaign managers, press secretaries, publicists, strategists, spin doctors, and reporters for whom campaigns are more than mere soap opera. They are life.

She is right but on the other hand Andrew Jackson began his campaign 3 years before his election.

I think the state run “media” would like to pick the GOP candidate for us before they all go out of business.

Maybe that will be the year that the Constitution actually gets someone who respects it:

Yeah, the American people will just jump at the chance to elect a 78 year old man to the Presidency in November 2012.

RP has some truly great ideas and some truly loony ideas. But his time is gone, over, kaput. ( I voted for RP in the TX Rep. primary.)

In a fantasy reality does not interfere.

Completely agree with you and Robin. Democracy only works when the people try to change what they don't like. I think the quicker we begin to rally up what few true, Constitution quotin’ capitalism lovin’ flag wavin’ true-blue Americans are left, the quicker we can begin to breathe a little easier.

We are NOT a “Democracy”! A “Democracy” is when 3 lions and a zebra vote on what is for lunch. We are a Representative Republic. OK!?

I disagree. The issue isn’t whether it’s time to start picking contenders, so much as it’s time to start telling the RINOs to get lost. It’s never too early to start telling socialists like Romney and Huckabee to go peddle their crap in someone else’s “big tent”.

Ron Paul gets the nod, I stay home. I will not vote for an anti-Israeli arschluk.

We can't just roll over and play dead. The fight begins in 2010. Begin to take the Congress back in 2010 by at least slowing the march toward Socialism, and then focus on the White House in 2012.

S.E. Cupp is beautiful, but often times she's braindead.

I don’t have to read beyond the headline to agree wholeheartedly with this. I am sick to my guts over the 4-year election cycle and the endless daily polls.

We already know the outcome because we already know the players. There will be no unknown savior riding in and the state media wants repubics to hit the snooze button... to sleep some more... plenty of time to lose repubics! Not me... I am already working hard to elect Palin.
