My buddy was just in a focus group with Steve Wynn, where Steve told the group he is running as a independent, announcing Monday.

I assume he'll be playing "the Perot" to pull Tea Party votes from the Republican nominee.

You forgot your sarc tag ;-)

Wynn was angry at Obama for saying that there shouldn't be corporate events in Vegas, and he used what leverage he had.

Obama is the traitor for telling people not to go to a US city for business conferences.

Did you know that he’s almost completely blind and a vegan?

Let's see.. There's no Republican president who back-stabbed the base and raised taxes, nor a senator who somehow lost every ounce of their personality during a campaign and gave the impression that he 'deserved' it.

At a guess, I'd say that this would be more the excuse for the Republican party to go all liberal again (colloquially known as 'Running to the center') and ignore the opinions of a huge block of voters to pander to a group that wouldn't ever vote for a conservative, much less a liberal wearing a (R) after their name.

I predict, if he does run, and does get any traction, it'll be because he's busy talking about the issues that the Republicans almost constantly hide from. And anyone who refuses to 'vote the line' will be ostracized for 'letting Obama win.'

Got a good idea, Republicans, how about fighting to win for once?

Did he? Ok, that rules him out for me. But I defenitely believe a candidate needs to speak like this. Know what you are talking about, believe in what you’re saying. It’s so easy in concept, but so hard to find outside of Washington in acutal practice.

Yeah just what America needs.

A president who wants to move American companies to Macao.

Brilliant. Just bleeping brilliant.

This guy’s fake orange tan is so loud, it makes Boehner look like a ghost.

Leverage? If he had any, why is Dingy Harry still running the Senate?

I live in Las Vegas. A few years ago I didn’t think much of Wynn- just another wealthy elitist I figured. I was surprised how conservative he sounded on a few local news clips I saw. Too bad he’s running as an independent. Conservatism + business sense is a good combination right now.

The Frank Luntz theatre must have gone to Steve’s head.

The same focus group that lauded Wynn gave DeMint a thumbs-down for his balanced budget agenda. The group was enamored with Steve Wynn’s focus on the “employee”. +1 for Wynn, -1 for the subservient drones.

Wynn acknowledged he “voted” for Obama, but is now voicing the popular anti-Obama rhetoric that focuses on jobs.

Vegas odds Wynn won’t run.

Steve Wynn can sound Republican, but he has huge skeletons in his closet, mob stuff. I’ve had to research him for my book on Reid. I am trying to dig down into some of this without getting killed. There’s a guy who worked for Wynn who might play a big part in Reid’s downfall. A hall of many mirrors.

What’s your take on the likelihood of 9-11 if Perot didn’t run on the 3rd ticket?
