Hee hee.

As long as we’re making with the funnies....

How about Joe Biden.

Sure. He could kick Bammie’s skinny azz and become a real man!

Sure. He could win it all in 2012.

I think it will be Hillary, either as President or as Obama's VP.

I'll say it again, with Hillary, we'll be up against the memory of "Clinton's economy" and the "peace and prosperity" of the Clinton years. We better be ready with answers, or she could ride the coattails of "Clinton's economy" into the White House.

What about Governor John Kasich of Ohio? We cannot win the White House without Ohio.

The danger here is that Clinton will run against Obama or become the nominee after Obama announces he will not seek a second term.

Clinton could run as a moderate (believe it or not)....not as liberal as Obama and not as conservative as Palin.

Clinton could promise to bring back the great economy of her husband.

And the triangulation would begin again.

He is a good man as is Romney and Huckabee but he would not win. Sorry...he just wont’. We need NEW FACES. NEW BLOOD. NEW IDEAS.

Here's a reason why I'm HOT for Bachmann right now.....
 
 
 
The new House majority stands ready to defund Obamacare in the 112th Congress as we move towards a repeal of the whole monstrosity

Michele Bachmann for President!!!

Romney is a draft dodging RINO who will repulse conservatives. Boehner won’t have that problem. He is, largely, a new face. Most Americans are just now learning who he is. Boehner is seriously representative of everything that Conservatism proclaims to be. He grew up poor and worked numerous “sh*t jobs” pulling himself up by the boot straps. he enlisted in the Navy during Vietnam and was honorably discharged (though for medical reasons). he put himself through college. he started his own business and now he’s the speaker of the house. If you can’t get behind this guy, you won’t follow anyone. Romeny ran to france during Vietnam and received 7 deferments. how is he any better than any liberal that ran to Canada? he was born with a silver spoon and any success he has ever known can be attributed to that. I will not vote for him and I will actively work to undermine him if tries to run as a republican again, I promise you. Huckabee already triend and failed. why go down that road again? Palin? you think she’s better than Boehner? give me a break. She’s no more conservative and much less electable in a general election. It will be Christine O’donnell all over again and i can’t deal with any more of that. Unless someone can demonstrate that Boehner isn’t a conservative, I’m keeping his name out there.

we’ve been though this with Newt already. his conservative credibility is questionable at best and he comes with baggage.

Clinton won’t run unless Obama declines to accept the nomination first IMO. If he ends up coerced into such a move, she will definitely run again and it will be a tough race, again, IMO.

You are correct. Besides...Sarah Palin is doing one helluva job on our behalf. She did well in the elections and can do so much more while she is free as a bird out there. Go Sarah. She’s VERY POWERFUL...why else are the dem/libs shaking in their boots and attacking her all the time?
