Vote your convictions during the primaries; vote for the nominee in the general.
Herman gets great responses from the crowds at these debates. They like what they hear. If all who like him vote for him in the primaries, he stands a chance.
He's my only choice at this point. I can't, in good consciense, vote for any of the others. If he doesn't get the nomination, well - - I guess I'm stuck holding my nose to vote for whoever gets it. ANYbody but Obamarx.
As for polls, who knows how much they're dummied up? My guess is, more than people think.
Perry cheep shot.
she stepped out to gt a corn dog?
I’d love to see Cain as Palins VP...let’s give ‘em an African American candidate everyone can be proud of.
Ha ha we were thinking the same thing about Michelle.
she stepped out to gt a corn dog?
LOL
Oh, man. Did gov perry say something that wasn’t true? Errrrr....uh......
Why did Perry do that. don’t offer Romney more time by finger waggin!
Romney sounds like he’s on the debate team, arguing a point he doesn’t really believe in.
“cheap” shot, but you’re right.
Yes, Rick Perry hit Romney hard with that Race to the Top comment.
Mitt did not refute it very well at all.
Oops - just read on Wikipedia that Gary Johnson and his wife were divorcing in 2006, she died in 2007.
Yes, Rick Perry hit Romney hard with that Race to the Top comment.
Mitt did not refute it very well at all.
I could support him too.
But I think he has problems like lack of experience and not being realistic about what is achievable.
Fox is SOOO in the tank for Mitt!
Diet coke all over my screen!
Liar!
