I think Tim Pawlenty will be the last man standing and get the nomination (vanity)

This is just, of course, a prediction on my part but here's why:

1. As a former governor, he has executive experience and, from what I understand, he was a pretty good governor. After 4 years of Obozo's incompetence, the American people are longing for a competent administrator.

2. Unlike Romney, who still refuses to disavow Romneycare, Pawlenty came out of the gate admitting he was wrong on Cap and Trade. That was a smart move, and it takes takes that monkey off his back. And two other competing governors, Daniels and Huck, are out of the race.

3. Unlike Palin and Newt, Pawlenty has an uncontroversial past (as far as I know) and doesn't appear to have any significant issues from his past that the rabid lame-stream media could use against him.

4. He's not AS conservative as many of us would like but, on the other hand, he won't have any problems getting the Independent voters and as we all know, without them, we can't win.

Palin has a controversial past???

Trust me, that will last all of 5 seconds once he declares. GOP backgrounds are subject to attack journalism. libs get the bye.

[DManA]

If Big Media perceives Pawlenty might win they will invent a controversial past for him like they did with Palin.

[Bigtigermike]

I just want to know if Pawlenty will keep voters awake enough to go to the polls!

[mnehring]

Meh
Maybe pre 1960 politics but the ugly truth is you can’t just have good ideas but you have to be a dynamic figure who can sell them and attract people into the fold. T-Paw has nothing exciting about him.

[WellyP]

BARF!

[Califreak]

You know what I thought was strange?

On Fox news they were discussing the GOP field, and who might possibly enter the race, and I didn’t hear Sarah Palin’s name mentioned even once!

It’s like they were intentionally choosing NOT to mention her.

If she enters the race, I wonder if she’ll get shut out by the media other than to be ridiculed.

You are getting sleepy...
You’re eye lids are like led.
You are safe and warm.
Sleep....Sleeeeep

When I snap my fingers you will awake refreshed with a new President. 1.....2....

[proxy_user]

Herman Cain will give him the biggest challenge.

[ClearCase_guy]

Fred Thompson was a better Conservative, and less boring too. He didn’t get far.

[Jack Black]

Yes. It might be unfair but she does.

[Signalman]

Palin has a controversial past???

What I'm referring to is her daughter's out-of-wedlock child, and her leaving her position as Governor of AK in the middle of her term. I'm not saying these things are right or wrong, just that the media and the Dems will have this to "use" against her should she be the nominee.

[Ingtar]

Too bad. We’ve seen (with McCain) what happens when a RINO runs against Obama.

Cap and Tax anyone. Oh, he’s now decided he’s not for it anymore? Where was that penetrating insight when it was needed?

[Tax-chick]

he won't have any problems getting the Independent voters

BS. They'll vote for Zero because they'll believe George Bush is still President.

[SuzyQue]

He didn’t get far because he quit.

[EternalVigilance]

he won't have any problems getting the Independent voters and as we all know, without them, we can't win.

I'm an independent voter, and I won't vote for this McCain Republican.

[TribalPrincess2U]

BS!

When leftist sites comments say something good about a Republican, I tend to believe they’re trying to pick our candidate like they did McLame.

No pawlenty!

[Pox]

he won't have any problems getting the Independent voters and as we all know, without them, we can't win

Enough of this nonsense. I'll repost the same response I had to the BS last night:

No thank you. No more squishy moderates. If we lose, so be it, at least the country will understand it is a dem/liberal/communist/marxist running the country into the ground.

I will no longer “hold my nose” and vote against one opponent just “to win”.

If the country needs to be “ruined” due to Obama, so be it. The sooner the majority of Americans realize why this country is headed in the wrong direction, the better. Putting in moderates only insures that we continue heading in the wrong direction.

In any case, there are so many “parasites” in this country at this time that the only true fix will be a second American Revolution, and it will be a vicious, bloody affair that will either end up with this countries citizens enslaved or once again FREE.

I'm putting my foot down. I took an oath when I joined the Army, and I am ready to live up to that oath, even if it means forgoing my comfortable life, and possibly my life as well.

Hopefully it will not come to that, but we are headed towards that direction, or outright slaves to the federal government, IMO, and I will not tolerate the latter.
