I see Inhofe and his followers around here are still into "fantasy politics". Good. Keeps you away from those fantasy football leagues. Have you all considered Palin for Interior and Bachman for Secretary of State? I know, she's a natural for Defense but....
Huntsman is the only reasonable Republican left. Too smart for Inhofe I'm sure.
I've actually been fairly impressed with Huntsman. If he makes it through, and as long as he doesn't go all McCain and let his handler select a mental midget for a running mate, he has a chance. Simply because he appeals to moderates and independents. |

Huntsman is done. Not officially out mind you, but he doesn't have traction in the party. |

2nd week in September he will throw in the towel. No one really ever knew where he stood on issues, and he did little to clarify. I suppose that's the mark of a moderate, and it seems that that is exactly what the country is NOT interested in at this time. |

Agreed. He's out. Which is a shame, if you ask me, but there's no room for him as a party leader right now. |

The country should embrace a moderate philosophy as deep partisanship is going nowhere. |

Inhofe just reinforces everything I have ever said about him.
Talked to a friend of his family a few weeks ago, and you remember how he brags about never having a gay in his family? Well, apparently a son makes up for it dramatically in the other direction. Many more women than average...
that's gotta be better...

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I have a large decorative rock in the front yard that is too smart for Inhofe. Heck, it is smarter than Inhofe. |

I've been really surprised by Perry's traction so far. I thought sure there'd be more of a Bachmann-Perry deathmatch-thing for the far right wing. But it looks like Perry's got the momentum big time and Bachmann seems to have faded. Time will tell, I suppose.
It's telling, I think, that Bachmann never put Romney too far back on his heels; Perry's already beating him in the polls.

I wouldn't count out Mitt Romney just yet. Republicans adore the rich and he is smarter than Perry, Bachman and Palin combined.

These are Republican's RecycleMichael. Being smarter than Perry, Bachmann and Palin combined is seen as a bad thing. |
