Here is another history lesson. RINOs LOSE to charismatic Democrats.
I think there are a sizable number of “establishment Republicans” who would strongly prefer being the minority opposition to Obama than having to give up control of their party to the “rabble” represented by grassroots conservatives.
I hope my nightmare scenario does not come to pass.
The issue with Palin - will she be a Goldwater or a Reagan. Can she overcome the odds. Everyone was predicting a massive Reagan lost, til the last few weeks of the election
Ick.
Mitt’s history. It is obvious to all but the leftists that the voters want to take our government to the Right.
Medved dismisses her out of hand, too caught up in the Hollywood scene to even imagine her as the next POTUS.
I do think there’s a place for a guy like Romney in a GOP administration. He’d be great over at Treasury, IMHO. But at the top of the ticket? Not my choice at all.
IOW, History says the GOP will blow it in 2012.
If the GOP nominates another rich old white man to slap down a black president many underdog voters will slap back on that point alone. If the GOP nominates a Hispanic along the lines of Marc Rubio then Barky can’t win. A woman candidate has a chance. The political timing isn’t right for another rich old white man that strangely wants it too bad.
Does this Medved guy actually have an audience?
This has to be addressed,and soon.
Somebody on the right has got to step up and smack this phony SOB good.
Heck, he’s been riding that train for years.
Ummm, the Huckster was the runner up, not Mitty. (Not that I’d vote for either.)
By the article’s own definitions, Mitt’s toast.
But.
You could read from the article how Sarah fits the described mold.
Just saying.
As a friend of mine says, “You can’t polish a turd.”
Mormons prey on the gullible with their social welfare and organized lies. They present a nice picture, but are little different from the muzzies with their attitudes about women. They just don't make the girls wear burkhas. Women are only vessels to make babies for a Mormon man to get a jump start on his own kingdom.
Plus, that some special powers can be attributed to underwear is about on par with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny!
Mitt is the perfect candidate if we are talking about the Presidency of New England. Outside of New England he’s the perfect asterisk for ‘also ran.’
...that the Party will decide whose turn it is to play candidate. Winning is optional.
But he has no political convictions to speak of. In fact, he's not really a believer in politics at all.
He looks at government as another venue for his superb intellect and problem-solving skills.
People want abortions? Fine. People don't? Also fine. Health care? Get me the numbers, show me the assets and liabilities, we'll work something out.
He would be a catastrophe were he to be nominated as the GOP candidate for President, because he's not a good liar. When he got up and read his "conservative" lines (gotta do what you gotta do to pass the interview) his transparent phoniness would shine through.
But I don't like running him down as a man. He's a good neighbor in town here, he loves his family, and, at Treasury or the Fed (assuming it continues to exist) he would serve Madame President exceptionally well.
The problem is, he wouldn't care if the lady in question were SLP or HRC.
Mitt’s DOA. Give it up.
