Poll question: How many GOP Heavyweights turned down the opportunity to respond to the BIG O????

Was BOBBY their initial "Go to Guy?"

Or was it more than one? Like:: "Are you KIDDING ME??? You want me to do the Response thing....after Obama? Please....I am in the middle of a project"

1. I'm guessing Palin volunteered...

but it was shot down faster than a wolf by a high-powered rifle in the hands of a crazy fucking podunk hanging out of a helicopter flying over Alaskan airspace.

2. I am sure her advisors would counsel "NO...Don't do it......"

11. She probably even bought a new $10,000 outfit too.

3. I dunno. The Republican bullpen is obviously pretty shallow these days.

Who else could they have asked who has any credibility at all?

8. Those few that do....I can only guess...turned it down....

The Pub Bull Pen is loaded with Cow Chips....

4. No one in his/her right mind would want to follow Obama right now

Obama's political capital is Golden.

(I feel kinda sorry for Jindal actually.)

6. He shoulda let Palin do it....she be crazy enough

5. What an intriguing question

Maybe Jindal drew the short straw.

Personally, I think his head grew three sizes at the governor's press op yesterday. The man is less than dynamic, that's for sure. Still, he's buying into the mythology his party is manufacturing for him.

Ultimately, if I were a fresh-faced repub, I wouldn't want to rebut President Barack Obama my first time out of the gate.

7. Maybe the Sacrifial Lamb??? LOL......and perhaps they realize its time to just wait and watch

and yet keep the dust flying too....with throwaway candidates.....

How Ironic...their real man self destructed 2 years ago...the Macaca Guy...Sen Allen

That opened the way for the secondaries to shine.....

9. Following Pres. Obama right now

is about as hopeless a position as following the Beatles in 1965. You are totally f'in screwn,

13. YUP....death wish level.....

[leftofthedial]

10. there no longer are any GOP heavyweights

[SmileyRose]

12. OK, now that's true.

wish Ida thought of that.......

14. Maybe they are Lightweights in the Heavy Weight Division.....?
