What will the campaign slogan be?
"Moose come first. America comes second"?

Yesterday I wrote a vignette in jest suggesting what New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie might be yelling at his TV during the GOP debate. Unlike his alter-ego in my vignette, the real Bill Kristol did not call Christie to plead nor drive over to his house to urge him to get into the race. Instead he used his Web site , figuratively speaking, to run over Texas Gov. Rick Perry with an 18-wheeler and drive through Christie’s living room window:
With nine candidates on the stage, and answers restricted to one minute, it’s hard to really show your stuff. And two of the candidate — Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney — did provide respectable performances. But no front-runner in a presidential field has ever, we imagine, had as weak a showing as Rick Perry. It was close to a disqualifying two hours for him. Bill’s solution: “A big man for a big job.” And you know who that is.

“Perry did not collapse. He was awful last night but he is still the most viable conservative candidate we have. palin CAN NOT win. Period.”
I recognize that hes a politician who’s opinions and positions shift based upon political need. But his position on illegal immigration and allegations that we need to pay for the children of foreigners has me rethinking his support.
The implication that they would be allowed to become a burden upon our society is implicitly saying that he would not send them back to their own society, and instead would allow them to draw benefits from our “welfare state”.
Awful doesn’t describe how he did in the the debate. He had a near catastrophic policy failure not a delivery failure. The proof is in the laws of Texas, and the legislators that voted for that proof aut to themselves be thrown out.

cfr Ric CANNOT WIN. Period. See? Anybody can say anything! .... E. Pluribus Unum
Yes, anybody can say anything.
That is why it helps to back up what you claim with data.

His campaign and performance has been hard to figure. My guess is Rick had all but kicked off his shoes on the retirement couch and got lured into trying for one more (REALLY BIG ) prize.
I don't think his heart is in it. He doesn't seem to be working at it. He's going with got him elected 2 or 3 times in Texas; a real down home Texan persona with enough common sense to get the job done. If that's not good enough, so be it.
You are absolutely right, and I was wrong.
The polls are always correct. We shouldn't even bother with elections.
Why not?
....which by the way is the goal
There’s another difference: I know what Obama thinks- he’s said it enough- he is a far left America- hater. Romney? I have no clue what he really thinks.
Yes we have to beat 0bama and I am praying over it.
Yes we have to beat 0bama and I am praying over it.
Taft gut stuck in his bathtub on inauguration day.
You're the first and only person I've heard say that about Romney. I'm glad you thought he looked good. Sorry but you have a lot of work to do to convince me to willfully vote for Romney.
Ridiculous shilling. Thanks winoneforthegipper.
Wow! Congratulations! You only had to go back 63 years, before Rick Perry was born, to the infancy of the art of polling, to get a poll that wrong.
Hate to break the news to you but this ain't Great-Grandpa's America any more.
The 1948 polls, conducted at the infancy of polling, were telephone polls. One problem: More Republicans than Democrats had telephone service way back then so the Republican Dewey voters were markedly over-represented.
That was a lifetime ago and progress has been made to correct 63 year old mistakes.
When modern poll after modern poll after modern poll shows that Sarah Palin's Negatives run from the high 60% range to the low 70% range, only somebody delusional enough to have believed that Christine O'Donnell was going to kick butt is delusional enough to still believe that it is 1948 again.
The Palin polls, like the O'Donnell polls, are not even in the same zip code as her opponents. O'Donnell was absolutely slaughterd in 2008 and, again, in 2010, exactly as predicted by such horrendously lopsided polls.
How did the Christine O'Donnell self-delusion work out for you, E. Pluribus Unum?
Congratulations again. Your self-delusion helped elect a self-described "bearded Marxist" to the U.S. Senate.
He did OK, but he didn't answer the question, after they do his 9-9-9 plan, how do you know some future congress would not bring back a "progressive" income tax on top of the sales tax?
I have seen CW go out of her way to avoid flame wars. That is probably why not.
Saying that someone looked good in a debate is different from supporting that person for office.
Dude, what are you smoking.
Perry is out. Very out.
Bookmarked.
