At this point, I think Rick Perry is going to enter the race and take the nomination.
I think I would prefer Gary Johnson or Ron Paul to be the nominee. Oh how I wish the Libertarian party was our nation's right wing. |

| Mitt Romney (Ron Paul) loses to Obama (Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich). |

| Huntsman looks like he has the resume and corporate family ties to seriously contend. Perhaps with enough window dressing the Republicans can make the South forget he is a Mormon. Not that it's really going to matter much running against Obama, who I believe to be a closet atheist. Huntsman also appears to have the right philosophy that keeps America going -- cut taxes, spend more. Republicans eat that stuff up. |

Obviously when you follow the money, you can't ever count Texas and those rotten oil baron bastards out. Will his close association with George W. hurt him or help him? I think it will help him in the South. Huntsman is the guy that probably should get the nom based on his vast experience in Washington and as the governor of a US state; but I concede that Perry, backed by new "unlimited" corporate campaign financing laws as ruled on by the Supreme Court, as well as all the money in world courtesy of the oil industry in Texas, has real legs as a contender. The news about his biggest buddy quitting the Newt campaign is pretty much the writing on the wall. |

So does anyone here want to argue that any of these fucking dolts should actually be president?
A case could be made for Huntsman, but he is polling at like 1% and banking it all on NH, which he isn't going to win. That tells you just about everything you need to know about today's GOP.
Paul... Never gonna happen, and as much as I admire his consistency and dignity, I think I'd actually be pretty damned scared of a Paul presidency. Probably even more so than Romney.
Everyone else are know-nothing charlatans in a race to the bottom of the fucking barrel.
I'm no longer confident in Perry's ability to take the nomination from Romney, due to his extremely poor debate performances. This guy is fucking daffy; seriously like Will Farrell's depiction of GWB. But someone is going to have to eventually end up as the anti-Romney candidate, and I highly doubt it is going to be Cain, who is pretty much as absurd as Palin. Perry is the only candidate other than Romney that has an actual campaign infrastructure. Cain is quite clearly just trying to sell books and/or get a show on Fox.
At this point in the race, I think Romney will probably take it. It may be hard fought, due to the proportional nature of the delegate allocation of the Republican primaries, but I think the anti-Romney vote will probably be split enough to give him the edge. |

I have one question for you lefties that want Obama back for another four years......
What do you think about the Obama talking so much shit about Wallstreet when the very people he has surrounded himself with are from Wall Street?
For the record the only two candidates I really like in the Republican field are Herman Cain and Ron Paul. Paul will never win though. Newt isn't bad either but he has a troubled past. I'm not sure he would be electible. The rest of the field are a bunch of nimrods or have zero chance.

Less than ideal... At least he is trying to get modest reforms of Wall Street though. The Republicans want to deregulate further.

Why Cain? For all the talk from the right in 2008 about Obama's naivete and lack of experience, the irony of Cain's rise is pretty stark. |

That's what I've been saying since it started. He may be an empty suit, but he's the only one that's a skilled debater and not a complete ass-clown. The only person who has been able to unravel him at ALL is (as you accurately described) Will Ferrel's GWB -- and that wasn't by debating, that was by pulling a Chris Matthews/Bill O'Reilly Talk-over-a-thon... A la "la-la-la-la-la-I'mNotListening-lalalalalala". 
...and the Jesus-Republicans **HATE** Romney. That in itself makes him worth more than the others.
In the G.E. perspective, he's also the ONLY Republican candidate that could draw enough independent voters to unseat a Dem. (Again, I've been saying/posting that all along.) |

Are you really trying to compare Obama's complete and utter lack of experience to Cain?? Come on man. Cain has risen to the top of several fields. Give the guy some credit. Not a fan of that fact that he has worked for the Fed Reserve though....

So Obama, who had an 8 year legislative career prior to running for president, had a complete and utter lack of experience? But Cain, who has never held any public office whatsoever, is so unquestionably qualified that he is beyond comparison?

I do. He is obviously a very talented restaurant executive and motivational speaker.
However, he apparently has as much working knowledge about foreign policy as Sarah Palin, and all his economic experience has given us so far is his 9-9-9 crapfest. He is clearly an intelligent, capable and affable person, but all he has offered so far in this campaign is simplistic, often contradictory or uninformed positions and solutions that reveal a lack of seriousness or understanding of the job he is up for. I mean seriously.. no bills longer than 3 pages?

Why? What did he do there that you disapprove of?
And again.. Why Cain? Is it just his personality, or does he have specific policies that you support? If the latter, what are they? |
