COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Republicans in this first-in-the-South primary state aren't too enthusiastic about the crop of GOP presidential candidates. They are fired up about defeating President Barack Obama and confident a Republican can.

"I'm telling everyone that worries about the field: Elmer Fudd can win this election," says Ashby Rhame, a Republican from Sumter County.

In this reliably conservative state, if not across the country, the GOP exudes optimism about making Obama a one-term president, no matter the Republican nominee....

Which is why we should nominate the best conservative we have who has any kind of chance. And this whole "Obama will be hard to beat and is raising a billion dollars" is a smoke screen by the jourbalists, just like their slavish devotion to him last time. And who listens to Linseed Grahamesty?

I think the next 5 years are going to be very tumultuous.

well, if Elmer Fudd can win then we should nominate the most conservative candidate possible.

[Jim from C-Town]

Elmer Fudd must be doing something right after all he is a millionaire and owns a mansion and a yacht.

At the moment I’m more worried about the combination of RINO party leaders and open primaries giving us Romney as the nominee.

Then Obama WILL win re-election.

"I'm telling everyone that worries about the field: Elmer Fudd can win this election," says Ashby Rhame, a Republican from Sumter County.

Couldn't agree more. Obummer is a weak loser. If Fudd runs, that wouldn't be all bad. He is very strong on the 2nd amendment.

I guarantee Elmer Fudd could beat obama in Texas....and I expect most of the so called flyover country. The exception being the socialist shitteholes in the midwest like Chicago which unfortunately dominates Illinois...and of course the weird folks in Minnesota whose brains apparently work differently than the rest of the human race!

Problem is going to be the huge number of purists who feint at the smallest sign the liberal MSM puts out that a front-running conservative has overnight become a "RINO".

The MSM are laughing because they can do this to any front-runner at the drop of a hat.

“Fervor” to defeat the nobama is strong everywhere...the mediots just won’t honestly report it. Kick the bums and their enablers OUT!

[goodnesswins]

I was hoping by 2012 things would either calm down, or the SHTF....Limbo time is NOT fun....

[crazydad]

DING DING DING! We have a winner. That was the first thing in my mind when I read the headline. Scum race baiters.

[pingman]

The Socialist dominoes are falling; Canada, Spain...

[newzjunkey]

You've certainly got their number!

Limbaugh likes to say Elmer Fudd could beat Obama but this cycle is feeling like 1996. We have the purists gravitating to pitifully unwinnable candidates and a circular firing squad among quitters and has beens.

There ain’t no clinton in the Whitehouse and the economy is not rolling along... “Stop with them negative waves Moriarty”. Oddball... Kelly’s Heroes
