My summary of who I'll vote for and who has no chance
Off of my list:
Trump – Kook (Kook=any Republican that mentions “Obama” and “Birth Certificate” in the same sentence)
Huckabee – Kook and unsettlingly weird
Gingrich – too many wives. Not electable. Also: See Huckabee
Palin – not for the reasons most wouldn’t vote for her though. I think she’s smart and more in-touch with the average American than any potential candidate in a very long time. I think she’d be a damn good president. The problem is that the character assassination undertaken by the libs has been very successful, rendering her essentially un-electable. Congratulations lefties
Romney- Romney care -past his expiration date - couldn’t even beat McCain last time.
Barbour – Has a tendency to… how should I put this… say some uniquely southern politically incorrect things. I like him but he falls into the not electable category.
Bachmann – I like her but not presidential. Too much of a bomb thrower. Too juicy of a target for the MSM and the libs.
Still In the Running:
Pawlenty – although his recently released autobiography strikes me as “Obama-like”. Nothing worse than politicians who publish autobiographies as a means to bolster a campaign especially if they haven’t done anything particularly notable. He’s on the bubble. Any more blatant weirdness and he’s out.
Daniels – One of the two front runners
Ryan – The other front runner
Rubio – Says he’s not running but would be a strong candidate
Christie – Says he’s not running but would automatically become a front runner if he announced
Who the national GOP will try and shove down our throats:
Romney
Tea Party Favorite
Ryan or Christie if he runs
Most electable to moderates and Reagan Democrats
Daniels - although Christie could also fit this category.
Have I forgotten anyone?

Gary Johnson - would be a stretch, but he's a less kooky and less extreme Ron Paul. He has no chance throughout most of the South, but he could win New Hampshire and many Mountain West states. He would need to carry the Northeast, and have Barbour or Huckabee sweep the Southern primaries and get shut out everywhere else.

Daniels would be my choice so far. I would vote for even Trump in the general over Obama.

So...the "average American" relates to "Mama Grizzlies"  ?  |

What about the 'other' Bush? I thought he did a good job as Governor of Florida.

I don't know what funnier, you thinking she's been "character assassinated" (like she hasn't brought the deserved ridicule on herself with her own public shenanigans) or that you blame it on the lefties. I realize it’s hard to post Republican political thoughts without somehow getting an asinine jab in on the libs, but I think you’ve reached a new nadir. |

Hukabee? I don't understand your negative comment about him. Very smart, down-to-earth, affable, with positions that are sensible and well within the range of average Americans. Those who are beyond that range, since you were about to ask it, would be people such as Dennis Kucinich and, perhaps, Pat Buchanan.
Oh, yes, Huckabee has valuable experience as a state governor. Again, your evaluation of the man seems flawed.
I will agree that I don't see any one standout for the GOP. Romney would be a good POTUS, but you are right that the Mass. health plan is a problem. On the other hand, ObamaCare ought to be a VERY big problem for Barack, yet he seems to be considered a strong favorite to win reelection.

Damn, where is that old belt of mine? I need to take Bob and Win to the woodshed and impress upon them (with particular emphasis on a certain part of the body) that civil discourse is the order of the day.  Just ask Barry . . . I mean Barack. You know, the guy who warned us about uncivil discourse and then turned around and blasted the character of the one of the most sincere and serious GOP Congressmen? AzWm |

Does that look like some pathetic troll from some runt who could only dream of such a matchup? Really, Bob, grow up! Sorry, I don't find either one of them hot but I've read stuff Republicans have written calling them that. Doesn't matter, neither one of them are electable. BTW, Christie's approval rating has dropped from 51 percent last October to 44 percent now. LePage in Maine is about the same while Scott's in Florida is sitting at 38 percent. All 3 of them have overreached like crazy on environmental concerns. It's completely ridiculous in LePage's case because he was elected with 38 percent in a 5-way race. So while his rating is higher his election numbers, he certainly did not have a mandate. =Bob |

I have only one absolute when judging the candidates and that is even the mere mention, however tangential, however obscure, of Da' Birf Sertificut makes you unelectable. "Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012, said on Monday that he would “love to know more” about where President Obama was born and claimed — falsely — that Mr. Obama was raised in Kenya.
On Tuesday, a spokesman for Mr. Huckabee said that the former governor had “simply misspoke.”When you then have your "spokesman" come out and do damage control it makes you a tool. At least the other kooks are honest kooks. Plus, he's another member of the the "couldn't even beat McCain " club and the whole "I'm a musician just like that other Arkansas governor" act is lame. |

Thank you! And thank the living God, Jehovah!
We liberals accept your praise! Of course quitting her governor's job (Yes, I realize her largest constituency as an Alaskan was caribou.) halfway through and finding herself genetically incapable of constructing and expressing a coherent thought, without lip synchronizing someone other soul's sound track helped us render her unelectable. It is hard to assassinate the character of such a helpful foil.
Yes, we liberals saved the nation from the embarrassment of her resignation from the presidency on the first available August 9 after the Supreme Court installed her. Her being genetically unsuited to any but the most simple spokes-mannequin job and all.
She's in touch alright, you betcha! She is in touch with the left side of the bell curve.
Watch that blood pressure now! Oh, yes. Where is Russia?
