Mike Huckabee just announced on his show that he is NOT running for President.
So I guess it is Romney’s turn this time.
I’m not rooting against Palin, she just has zero chance of winning. She brings no new voters to her camp more than she brought to McCain before.
Though it is still early in the process i don’t think any of the current people running have a snowballs chance of beating an incumbent.
I will probably get laughed at but if I had to pull a name out of the hat it would be John Kaisich. He has midwestern appeal, very low negatives, a conservative background and comes across well to people.
Obama had 143 days in the Senate and continued to vote present just like his time in the Illinois Senate. Even public school teachers have to work 180 days a year..Obama's experience was and is a joke, only in the mind of progressives and liberals is his record a plus and his "experience" valuable...
All are valid concerns.
I’ve known 2 people in the last 5 years, one was close to my wife’s family and the other a rather well known client at the company I work for, who were told they were “cured” of their cancer and ended up dead less than a year later.
Now I also know several more who have survived longer against all odds.
Regardless, Cain has to pick a damn good VP, that would be a big part of easing people’s concerns.
The GA primary is also a concern, however, this was before the Tea Party movement had been started, it’s a far different political environment than it was in 2004.
Palin isn’t going to run so no worries there.
you can dub all you would like. I am more of a reader than a poster I admit. I just see the cult of Palin driving us off the cliff toward another 4 years of Obama. She has no chance of winning and the only thing her supporters can use as a positive for her is she can spout off some sound bites. The fact is she was a failed VP candidate on a failed ticket that lost to an unknown senator and a doddering lifer from Delaware. She quit her duty in Alaska,. What is she going to do when the heat gets turned on in DC. She couldn’t hack Jeuneau, why should we trust her in DC?
Yeah, I’m not sure what that was about. I still like Fred though.
Were you off-world in 2008?
Not sure about that but I do hate those commercials!
“No cost to you!”
Makes me want to spit.
Don’t laugh. I wish Idaho Gov. Butch Otter would do it. I play in a big band. We were playing one time at a huge Mormon picnic. He stepped onto the bandstand and was told the band that he worked his way through college playing bass which was really cool. Then, he requested “In The Mood.” I’m not a huge Glenn Miller fan to begin with but over the last 40 years I have had to play “In The Mood” and “Little Brown Jug” about 10,000,000 times. Joking, I turned to the guy next to me and commented, “I was actually gonna vote for this f######.” Mi mike was hot. Oops. Jazz blooper.
What did Trump say?
Oh Noz! But what if no other Socialist decides to run on the GOP side? We’re doomed!
Spelling errors. Just put my glasses back on. I tend to make a fool of myself on a daily basis. Just ask my wife.
He wished him well but the way it sounded on the radio, it sounded like "you're fired now f- off to Florida"
Glad to hear it. Snake oil salesman.
Someone on this thread asked someone else why they were so gleeful that the Huckster wasn’t running. No one asked *me* that but I’ll answer it anyway. I am glad (yes, really glad!) that he isn’t running because I think he would be a mendacious President (like a Republican Clinton) and his presence in the primaries would simply muddy the waters. Glad he’s out early.
I agree completely that Obama’s “experience” was a total joke. That said it is way too easy to imagine the MSM in lockstep hitting on Cain’s precisely zero government experience (a big plus in many minds here) in comparison to all the “experience” Obama has had in 4 years of producing disasters. And there would be many mindless moderate heads that would listen and vote for four more years of the same on that basis. Had Cain made the Senate the same line of attack would doubtless still be tried, but many more would recognize it as doublespeak.
Romney will fall by the wayside as well.
I think Myth is done. His recent health care speech recommitting to Romney care as the right thing has made it more difficult than ever for him.
