1. Reaction: a Paul/Nader ticket.

This is going to be the R ticket, people. We need to get to work NOW to counter this.

[TBF]

2. That's insane. The old school republicans would not go for that. nt

4. Disagree. The "old school Republicans"

are dying out.

I don't think Romney has a real chance to get the nomination.

Everyone else in the Pub stables is either a has-been, or a fringe bagger new kid in town.

And Nader would jump at the chance to join in.

Wait and see.

5. Are you suggesting that Nader would run on the Repuke ticket??

and could possibly get their nomination??

6. The Pubs are desperate

They really have NO ONE to put up against Bam (as the NY Daily News dubs him).

And Nader basically ran on the Pub ticket in 2000, if you ask me.

[TBF]

7. It's true that the new techie billionaires prefer libertarian candidates -

they want government to be as limited as possible so they can keep making money. But I don't see Peoria going along with this. Folks like their social security checks.

3. Thune/Huntsman 2012

:party:

:woohoo:

8. According to Ben Stein, Barack Obama would be the perfect candidate for the RepublIcans.

Well Obama did say he would move to the right after the election and would allow DUer's to vote for either Kucinich or Grayson.
