Who do you think will win the Republican nomination in 2012? (Not who you WANT to win.)
I think it's going to be Pawlenty. Judging by his performance at the debate, he's going to say all of the right things to all of the right people. It's a shame that none of the things he's saying are even remotely useful.
I like Romney, but I don't like his chances in the primary. If he took it, I would vote for him in a heartbeat.
there are a couple who could win the nomination AND the election. Newt, is not one of them, he could win the nomination but has no chance of beating Obama because the blacks, the unions the teat suckers will all support Obama...
Romney, Pawlenty and Daniels are the three who could do both
Bachman, Paul etc are cult candidates who don't appeal to enough of the middle
Problem with Pawlenty, his speaking skills are poor, he's boring.
Maybe I'm judging him too harshly from a single appearance, but I don't think his problem is his speaking skills. He's boring because he's not saying anything. I can't even disagree with him properly.
At least Santorum had the good grace to piss me off.
Personally I'm not overly excited about any of the current crop. The lameness is with them.
I'm actually starting to think Obama might keep his chair.
Hey, I'm a welfare parasite and I am praying that the GOP will allow me to vote for them. Hell, the government pays a licensed social worker to keep track of my welfare benefits because I can't manage them myself and the benefits I'm receiving now are a Hell of a lot cheaper than keeping me institutionalized.
The thing is, there isn't a single damned thing any Republican President can do that will threaten my well-being, but if the government and the economy collapse, we're all screwed.
Besides, some of those GOP guys are starting to get dangerously close to having a rational foreign policy.
Pawlenty disturbs me. If he has a single original thought in his head, he hides it very well. He doesn't even parrot the good right-wing talking points.
I don't think Paul appeals to anyone but Internet political junkies. He's a Libertarian who learned the secret handshake and got the GOP campaign money. He's an upstanding citizen, a true statesman and a patriot, but he doesn't actually represent anyone.
