I value traits such as competence and knowledge

So he didn't vot for Obama?

This is really simple, experience as a governor is more valid and worthwhile than skin color.

You would expect them to be baffled. They think Ashlee Simpson is attractive/talented and Hillary Clinton is qualified.

Romney has already lost big time, and is the tuberculosis
of the GOP. Apparently, the incurable type, right?

Stop what?

I'm not saying Jeb will be considered for a nomination or even that he would want one.

I just don't think a capable governor who did a great job should be run into the ground. He and his brother's reputations will both be vindicated.

Jeb's a good man. Amazing how so many people trash good people around here.

she won’t be able to use that line against obama 4 years from now. She needs to have ideas. Foreign policy, health care, etc.

Oh! That’s right. I’ve been listening to NBC and CBS too much and thought he was already president.

He's only pres-elect after the Electoral College meets. Doesn't anybody know how our government works anymore?

Of course McCorpse rated about 2% four years ago.

Huckabee is a NWO media-wh*ring puppet.

In four years, the GOP candidate could well be...Arnold Schwartzeneggar. ESPECIALLY since "American-born" seems not to matter as Presidential criteria anymore.

I see the president as someone who actually has to run the country, so I value traits such as competence and knowledge. They see the presidency in more symbolic terms, which means they value those candidates who epitomize America as they wish to see it.

Isn't that the definition of Obama mania?

What leadership experience does Obama have? He ran on a message of change and hope of a new future, which sounds pretty symbolic to me.

Palin actually ran a town and a state.

The landscape is going to be FAR different in 4 years.

No telling who will be a viable candidate with a whole slate of new issues.

Let him run as a Senator then. There is too much stigma on the Bush name for him to make a successful WH run.

"In 2012 she won’t have a team of ‘advisors and consultants’ stopping her from being herself. When she gets to speak and act openly, her freshness and honesty will make Romney look like what he should be, a used car salesman."

Well said.

I'd let 'er rip and take NO prisoners.

No, dim bulb, dictators run countries. US Presidents run the executive branch of the US government.
