Also, it is very likely that Palin will not enter..... trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 14/08/2011 09:58:48 PM
Time to start thinning the herd. Pawlenty is a good, competent candidate, but will never catch on. As for Palin, all signs point to the fact that she hasn't done anything whatsoever to launch a campaign.....no team, no hires, no money, etc.

Regarding Perry, I actually think this may help Romney. Perry will split the anti-Romney vote with Bachmann. To me, Perry is not as batsh!t as Bachmann, but I also don't think the nation is looking for a GWB clone (not saying in ability, but in personality and style).

My support for Romney/whoever most likely to beat Obama is based on pure partisanship.....i.e., we have to win. I am not enthusiastic about any GOP candidates (Christie, Haley, Rubio are too new, Barbour, Daniels, Jeb, and Thune never entered the race).

Disappointing.....

Tim Pawlenty drops out of the race Isaac - 14/08/2011 07:20:58 PM 1267 Views
Bummer, I liked him. *NM* Darth_Katie - 14/08/2011 07:23:42 PM 328 Views
Yeah, him and Cain are the only ones I actually liked to hear talk Isaac - 14/08/2011 07:38:08 PM 704 Views
Grumpy and just nuts enough to be entertaining, from what I've heard... Legolas - 14/08/2011 08:15:15 PM 774 Views
Probably better to say he's not polished Isaac - 14/08/2011 08:46:37 PM 689 Views
Herman Cain is more obsessed with sharia than Muslims Aisha - 14/08/2011 09:28:21 PM 724 Views
Yeah, as Aisha says, it's the Islam issue he sounded the craziest on... Legolas - 14/08/2011 11:16:20 PM 869 Views
Re: Yeah, as Aisha says, it's the Islam issue he sounded the craziest on... Isaac - 15/08/2011 12:02:22 AM 707 Views
well I don't think his posistion on Israel will play much of a factor one way or the other random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:07:55 AM 656 Views
I've never really gotten to know him... which kind of says enough. Legolas - 14/08/2011 07:35:40 PM 757 Views
That pretty much sums it up I think Isaac - 14/08/2011 07:44:12 PM 714 Views
Yep. Legolas - 14/08/2011 08:26:17 PM 780 Views

Apparently Super Tuesday won't be quite as super this time. Joel - 14/08/2011 08:49:40 PM 754 Views
I think Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain are awesome. You should consider them *NM* Aisha - 14/08/2011 09:25:55 PM 363 Views
You're bordering on troll Isaac - 14/08/2011 11:37:37 PM 734 Views
Yes, Aisha is every bit as batsh!t as Bachmann or Palin..... trzaska2000 - 15/08/2011 04:36:05 AM 694 Views
I agree. Grow up a bit Aisha. *NM* everynametaken - 15/08/2011 07:39:49 AM 318 Views
About fucking time. Now if we could just get Santorum to drop, too. Tom - 14/08/2011 09:28:53 PM 746 Views
He'd indicated he would Isaac - 14/08/2011 11:47:03 PM 896 Views
Oh, I don't think Bachmann WILL be kingmaker, but that's her goal. Tom - 15/08/2011 02:39:51 PM 694 Views
bachman is gonna be the vice presidential nominee for either Perry or Romney Aisha - 15/08/2011 04:22:33 AM 718 Views
funny that I only see liberals making an issue of his religion *NM* random thoughts - 15/08/2011 05:13:03 AM 340 Views
It's a clumsy attempt to poison the well Isaac - 15/08/2011 05:59:26 AM 650 Views
Re: It's a clumsy attempt to poison the well Aisha - 15/08/2011 07:13:01 AM 712 Views
Dems used to chase the evangelical vote, and the Church never should've permitted a political coup. Joel - 15/08/2011 09:22:53 AM 898 Views
For the record, I'm not trying to poison any wells. Joel - 15/08/2011 09:54:53 AM 744 Views
I think the deal with Huckabee nossy - 15/08/2011 07:21:08 PM 699 Views
Huckabee didn't hide his beliefs, but also made clear he wouldn't try to legislate them. Joel - 16/08/2011 12:58:48 PM 744 Views
yeah i guess it was s liberal Fox reporter/talking head/whatever the Eff they are called Aisha - 15/08/2011 07:07:07 AM 750 Views
I'm not sure why she had to apologize for saying that. Joel - 15/08/2011 09:56:39 AM 728 Views
because its not true? Mormons ARE Christians arent they? Aisha - 15/08/2011 04:52:32 PM 754 Views
Except their founder taught, and his church teaches, that man is his own savior. Joel - 15/08/2011 05:54:28 PM 750 Views
well ok then, i didnt know all that Aisha - 15/08/2011 06:58:22 PM 1207 Views
Precisely; every Mormon you ever meet will ALWAYS insist they're Christian. Joel - 16/08/2011 01:57:06 PM 833 Views
So nutcase liberals and one woman on Fox News and she had the decency to apologize *NM* random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:04:44 PM 357 Views
I find that highly unlikely. Tom - 15/08/2011 02:47:35 PM 809 Views
I agree with you. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 15/08/2011 03:08:35 PM 275 Views
I personally am considering voting for Romney , but I wouldnt underestimate Bachman and her power Aisha - 15/08/2011 04:58:19 PM 733 Views
I think it is ok to "underestimate" her. nossy - 15/08/2011 07:13:18 PM 670 Views
Also, it is very likely that Palin will not enter..... trzaska2000 - 14/08/2011 09:58:48 PM 742 Views
Your analysis of Perrys effect seems dead on to me. Joel - 15/08/2011 12:28:42 AM 754 Views
besides the fact that they both have west Texas accents what similarites? random thoughts - 15/08/2011 01:59:45 AM 718 Views
By the way, why did Kay B Hutch run against him in the primary election? trzaska2000 - 15/08/2011 03:43:52 AM 688 Views
Some did want to dump him, over the toll roads and mandatory HPV vaccines for school girls. Joel - 15/08/2011 03:58:38 AM 756 Views
you call losing by 15 points competing? *NM* random thoughts - 15/08/2011 04:07:08 AM 307 Views
It was 12.9%, which is pretty good for a Dem in a very red state during a very red year. Joel - 15/08/2011 04:26:58 AM 743 Views
Isn't that almost the exact same numbers Obama lost by in Texas? random thoughts - 15/08/2011 05:02:57 AM 717 Views
Roughly; are you going to pretend that 2010 was as good a year for Dems as 2008? Joel - 15/08/2011 05:34:32 AM 688 Views
there was a perception that he was vulnerable random thoughts - 15/08/2011 04:48:41 AM 816 Views
He was vulnerable, he only won in 06 with 39 percent of the vote *NM* Roland00 - 15/08/2011 01:14:43 PM 330 Views
KBH ran a terrible campaign random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:14:48 PM 651 Views
I have to agree with the take that it's symptomatic of a larger problem. Joel - 14/08/2011 10:23:02 PM 747 Views
There's no "victory laurel" there. The Iowa straw poll is as irrelevant as lint in one's navel. Tom - 14/08/2011 11:13:36 PM 759 Views
Largely true; it matters to people like Bachmann who need credibility, but to few others. Joel - 15/08/2011 12:20:48 AM 849 Views
unnamed sources from left leaning news source? who could question that *NM* random thoughts - 15/08/2011 01:25:07 AM 418 Views
Just because you don't like the quote doesn't make the person citing it "left leaning". Joel - 15/08/2011 02:00:15 AM 735 Views
It was a quote from Politico which is a left leaning news blog and the sources were unnamed random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:14:09 AM 709 Views
If you say so. Joel - 15/08/2011 03:53:08 AM 728 Views
so you are going to just ignore the fact that your entire argument is based on unnamed sources? random thoughts - 15/08/2011 05:12:01 AM 666 Views
I'm not surprised no Republican wants to go on the record with that. Joel - 15/08/2011 05:51:47 AM 642 Views
I'm kinda curious how this thread got controversial Isaac - 15/08/2011 06:26:15 AM 678 Views
Probably because I opined my impression that most of the viable GOP field looks pretty unimpressive. Joel - 15/08/2011 09:11:45 AM 1911 Views
I look at politics like I look at sports and call races on what I believe will happen random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:47:35 PM 722 Views
Normally I'd say that's the best approach, but in US politics all teams play for the same owner. Joel - 15/08/2011 04:04:43 PM 1155 Views
I am trying to keep it to just the facts and my opinion of the race random thoughts - 15/08/2011 02:49:47 PM 600 Views
Re: I HAD HIM GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE ROSE BOWL! *NM* Gaps - 15/08/2011 02:08:25 AM 319 Views
Are we surprised by this? nossy - 15/08/2011 07:05:59 PM 689 Views
I really doubt you will like Perry random thoughts - 15/08/2011 07:10:45 PM 669 Views
One never knows. nossy - 15/08/2011 07:15:21 PM 750 Views
I think he is aiming for Vice Pres *NM* Nolan - 17/08/2011 06:44:59 PM 332 Views
