He should have waited a few more weeks and prodded Obambi with a pitch fork a bit more!

This sucks. Not because I would ever vote for the man over an inanimate carbon rod, but because he was the one candidate who had no interest in politics and went right after Obama with serious issues when he wasn't wasting everyone’s time with things like birth certificates and school transcripts. This is probably the last time we will hear about China in this election.

Could be better if Newt got hit by a bus on his way to bash another Conservative in an interview.

Don’t forget Newt’s self-destruction on Sunday.

Newt pretty much eliminated himself too.

And Romney didn’t do himself any favors the other day in his healthcare speech.

My guy (Cain) may well be the last man standing if Palin decides not to run.

Mike Huckabee

Donald Trump

Excellent day . . .

Now we need to add Mitt to that list.
Newt will take care of himself.

Don’t hold your breath on THAT. Palin’s as in as she legally can be at this point in time. Cain will definitely have som quality time with Cuda before this is over. Don’t doubt me on this....

I think the video of Newt setting on the couch next Nancy ought to do it.

Thank God for small favors:) But he raised a ruckus and I tip my hat to him for it!

I’m liking Herman Cain more every day.

I meant by taking care of himself is that he will kill any microscopically thin chance of him being president all by himself, although I wouldn’t rule out the RNC giving him the nod.

I sure hope Palin sees just how much we need her to run!

Obama is going to run to the right with his stupid version of faux, "Drill, baby, drill" unless we have a candidate with real conservative values!

We are in such trouble if she doesn't run...

I agree, even if he was not serious, he could have filled a role no one on the GOP side seems to have the balls to do, take him on fore square.

Did Trump say he was out all together or just not run on the Republican ticket? Did he say he would not run on any other ticket?
