Perry is losing it. The blue-blood GOP establishment is worried that a Bachmann, Santorum, or Cain might rise to the top tier as Perry falls. They're hoping Christie can take over for Perry as the non-Romney to stop them.

And deep down inside, they live in fear that Mamma Grizzly could decide to run. Against her, they have nothing.

[McGavin999]

Perry isn’t going to give up, he’s not a quitter.

[carjic]

You have it exactly right.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Perry isn’t sagging, he’s still at around 30% in the polls, don’t believe these lies.

[trisham]

Palin-Cain 2012.

[Will88]

Is he or isn’t he?

Mark Levin was talking about this last night, then later in the program he had an update saying that the reports were not true, that Christie is not reconsidering his decision to not run.

Who knows for sure.

[joelt]

Now its Christie? I thought Huntsman was going to save us?

[Polybius]

And deep down inside, they live in fear that Mamma Grizzly could decide to run. Against her, they have nothing.

Against Palin, they do not need anything. All Sarah Palinn can accomplish is to be a conservative spoiler derailing other conservative campaigns.

A Sarah Palin run will simply divide the conservative vote even further than it is divided now with yet another fringe candidate that, like Ron Paul, has extremely loyal but extremely limited support.

Result: Victory to Romney.

There is no denying that both Sarah Palin and Ron Paul have extremely loyal but extremely limited Fan Clubs. The problem with both Sarah Palin and Ron Paul is that, outside of their own Choir, their popularity is downright toxic. (See August, 2011 FOX News Poll below)

The fantasy of Sarah Palin has finally started to kill off all conservative candidates that are not 100% perfect and whose name is not "Sarah Palin".

The winner of this dynamic is liberal Mitt Romney.

Nobody ever won a Super Bowl by perpetually pulling a "Brett Favre" and teasing month after month after month if he would play or not as the quarterback that is actually on the team is attacked and attacked and attacked for not being Bret Favre.

Perry, who Palin herself called "a true conservative", has stumbled as a result of those attacks. Fine. The Palin supporters got their wish

Now is time for Sarah to fly in and save the day like Supergirl.

Come on, Supergirl. Batman Perry is severely wounded. The evil Romney has no real opposition. What are you waiting for, Supergirl? Show up already and get in the fight or declare your intentions so that your followers do not help Romney by attacking every conservative whose name is not "Sarah Palin".

Supergirl?

Are you coming, Supergirl?

The reality is that there is no Santa Claus and there is no Supergirl. This is the reality.

ALL...........19%.......75%.........4%.......1%

Dem ............7%........89%.........3%.......1%

Rep ...........34%.......58%.......7%.......1%

Ind ...........20%........74%.......5%.......1%

You have it exactly right.

Governor Palin needs to either get into the race or come out and actively endorse someone in the race.

She can be either King or King Maker. Conservatives need to rally behind someone soon to head off the RINOcrats and Romney.

It’s 3rd and long. We need a game changer move soon or 0, God help us, will probably be reelected.

[Cicero]

I’m not a big Perry fan. But as someone said on a thread yesterday, Christie is worse than Perry, and Romney is worse than Christie.

Christie made some great YouTube videos near the start of his term, in which he lambasted the Teacher’s Union. They were fun to watch. But what has he actually DONE? He is no better than Christie Whitman with a sex change operation.

[R0CK3T]

Christie or Palin will suit me fine.

From what we have seen so far, either of them would be much more positioned to remove the Kenyan in a General Election.

[zerosix]

Christie is NOT "back in the spotlight" except in the dreams of the "wizards of smart!"

These RINO losers in DC and elsewhere in the "smart political punditry" of all things brilliant!

Who out in the REAL America give a rat's ass what those folk think/want.

The person that said those Rockefeller GOP DC denizens fear true conservatives in their self-determined "second tier" pack of candidates might spark some genuine interest and be given enough money to be able to remain in the race, for this is NOT a sprint but a long-distance run.

[TexasFreeper2009]

The liberal media now knows that Obama is toast and they are trying to insure that if Obama has to lose he is replaced by the most liberal electable alternative available on the republican side (romney)

[ken21]

christie needs to govern nj and lose 150 lbs.

[20 years too late]

I say let’s have them in a ring, tie one hand behind their back, give them a weapon and fight to the death. Winner takes all. After all, time’s a wasting with only 13 months to go. All the networks could host the event. Or better yet, in each debate they could play musical chairs with one loser for each debate.
The way it’s going we are going to eat own and the Dems will enjoy the show all the way to the election...if there’s anyone left.

[TheRobb7]

Every 4 years Conservatives bash each other because no single candidate is pure enough to please everyone.

Are we electing a President or a Priest?

[joelt]

I see the nomination as being Romney against the teaparty candidate. Is Christie a TEA Partier? He fits in a space between Romney and the others. (and there are not many spaces he fits into)

[GeronL]

This is how the MSM tries to create buzz for RINO’s

[plain talk]

The blue-blood GOP establishment is worried that a Bachmann, Santorum, or Cain might rise to the top tier as Perry falls

Yeah, right. Perry can flub every debate and it still won't help those three out of single digits.

[Sea Parrot]

PDS crowd, Palin says she is deciding, the PDS ankle biters, the tease has waited too long to get in.

bUT THE christienistas aRE OK with Fat Boy’s months long, maybe I will, nah I won’t, maybe, maybe not, uh I can beat Obama, maybe I will get in, uh, maybe not, maybe I will, nah I won’t, maybe, maybe not, uh I can beat Obama, maybe I will get in, uh, maybe not, ad nauseam.

[CaptainK]

I just saw Christie on a local news report 2 days ago. He looks like he has put added more weight on his already morbidly obese body.

This tell me he doesn't want to run. A Republican who looks like he's one crisis away from a massive heart attack will never win the presidency. Christie knows that the press will see to that.
