I so agree, Cincinatus'Wife! I, too, am highly resistant to the idea of the MSM picking my candidate for me.
Some of the current so-called "front-runners" look to me like they can't go the distance against the lying and cheating Obama & Company and its bought-and-paid-for (at least partly with U.S. taxpayer money) electioneering cabal....
And that assessment includes some very attractive persons of intelligence, ability, character, and integrity.
For instance: Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum....
At this time, I do not believe that the most eminent person whose name I've left out — Sarah Palin — will seek the nomination.
So I'm just keeping my mind open at this point. I do hope, however, that Rick Perry will "weigh in" soon....
