1. romney it shall be

what now, evangelists?

[geckosfeet]

2. Dead heat with Ron Paul. I want Ron Paul.

[RandomThoughts]

4. I would have to hear Ron Paul's view on who should make the rules in society n/t

[elleng]

12. Question: You want Ron Paul in a position of authority,

or you want him to run on Repug ticket?

We have to recognize diff between betting on and wishing for (like in the NCAA!!!)

[geckosfeet]

13. I think that running anyone on that straw poll list will insure a democratic victory

[Happyhippychick]

3. I think Gary Johnson is the valet

:rofl:

[Cha]

22. He's the only one I haven't heard

the lies coming out of his mouth..or even seen his name before this second.

[saltpoint]

5. Pence bears watching because he is such a

monstrous and dark sensibility, a man absolutely drunk on his own importance and possessed of the authoritarian impulse to succeed at all costs.

I consider him dangerous.

Ron Paul is certainly a fly in the GOP ointment these days. May he continue to blur the outcome and generate as much distrust and chaos among the various Puke camps as possible, before imploding on his own hyperlibertarian nonsense.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. Mitt dies in the early primaries.

See 2008.

[patrice]

7. Apparently, Huckabee just isn't one of "Them".

[saltpoint]

8. Was Haley Barbour not there?

Not that I MISS Haley Barbour. But I figured he was in the mix for the Pukes' nom in 2012.

[saltpoint]

11. 'Have read since that Barbour and Daniels asked that their names

not be included on the ballot.

[johnaries]

9. So, how do we get the GOP to split?

It should be easy enough to get them to split 3 ways into Paulites, Teabaggers, and Corporatists.

[old mark]

10. The very right hated Mitt for some time - he is known as a RINO -

they think he's a liberal , same as McCain. If he runs again, the 'baggers will run their own candidate or will go third party.

I'm happy to see that Santorum got only 2% - I wonder how many votes that actually was, maybe 25?

[elleng]

15. They're doing it themselves; we watch.

[old mark]

21. ...and occasionally snicker....nt

[Vinca]

14. OMG - that reads like a roster from the psych. hospital baseball team.

[CitizenLeft]

16. all this media hype for the Queen of Vapidity...

...and still she comes in 3rd. Love it.

[livetohike]

17. My thought too - she came in third in a straw poll a few months

ago and the media still reacted as if she was the winner. No matter how hard they try to make Palin a viable presidential candidate it isn't working. I wonder when they (media) will get it that the voting public is a little smarter than that.

[shotten99]

18. I can't see Romney winning a national election

There's no way the Jesus Crispies will be out in droves to vote for a Mormon.

[Yavin4]

19. Romney's Healthcare Plan Is Identical to Obama's

He has no chance in the Republican primaries. None.

[emulatorloo]

20. Romney looks good in a suit and has nice hair. Those are his main qualifications for office

as far as I can tell.

Ron Paul is a deranged libertarian.

Sarah Palin can't do anything but spout snark and twist facts.

Newt Gingrich is like Sarah Palin, except he sounds intelligent while spouting snark and twisting facts.

[Cha]

23. The bigger the swarmy lies..the more they're

loved by the great brainwashed repub masses..look at bush&cheney.

[Arugula Latte]

24. So is Bobby Jindal just too goofy and/or dark-skinned for these people?

Not even 1 percent for old Bobby? :shrug:
