Oh Pa-leeese!! Do we have to do this AGAIN!! Lets see, what is that saying, “the definition of insanity, is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result...” Why don’t we make it McCain vs Romney again, or Bush vs McCain, or Romney vs Bush... makes me want to hurl...

Remember: He is the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama, and he is the guy who lost to Obama. That sort of stinks on a resumé.

Well Obama isn't running next time (at least at this point). He'd be running against the woman who lost to Obama and then worked for Obama and then left Obama when the sh2t hit the fan.

“Has either political party ever sent the same nominee into the general election twice”

wasn’t that the case with Richard Nixon?

Well that makes perfect sense from a Republican point of view. He almost won last time so rerun him and watch him almost win again. Far better a mode(rat)e loses to a liberal than a real conservative win - Not that Republicans would know conservative if it bit them in their collective a$$es.

5 primary dates with 10 regionally diverse states taking part in each would make the difference.

Hell, that's the standard MO of the Socialist/Communist Left. "No really it'll WORK this time!"

Republicans don’t want to win...They just want their perks without having any responsibility....They are the “Washington Generals” of politics.

The Democrats did it numerous times. And lost every time they tried it.

Is the GOP not going to run McCain again?

The only way I’d vote for Romney again would be if he’d Gaurantee the abolition of all of Obama’s Executive Orders and Gaurantee that there would be a criminal investigation into Obama’s activities.

Those would have to be Iron clad Gaursntees.

Yes William Jenning Bryan-ran three times for president and lost three times: 1896 (famous cross of gold speech), 1900, and 1908. He knew he could not defeat TR so did not run in 1904. Also WJB sought the nomination in 1912 but lost to Wilson.

So he was a three time loser perhaps a four time loser.

25% is not a large number, not what I would call a strong front runner.

This is my take on the poll results:

Romney (if we absolutely have to, who are the other guys anyway?) - 25%
Rand Paul (because he's not Romney) - 18%
Chris Cristie (because he's not Romney or Paul and I heard about him lately) - 17%
Anyone Else, Please! Anyone! - 40%

Isn't it Bob Dole's turn again?

Given the Hobbeson's choice of Romney, Crispy Cremes, and the 3rd coming of Bush, I'd take the Mittster. At least he's already been given the media anal probe, and may get some crossover 'Rat votes who've regret their 2012 vote and wouldn't mind a 'do-over'.

With that said, let's hope the GOP primary voters pull their heads out of their collective a$$es and *NOT* nominate yet another loser RINO.
