Pence rules out bid for president
CNN ^ | 1/27/11 | John King

Posted on 01/27/2011 1:56:44 PM PST by pissant

Three sources close to Republican Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana tell CNN they are told he will announce he is not running for president in 2012 and will instead begin exploring a run for governor.

These sources say he has been flattered by the efforts to nudge him into the GOP presidential race but, as one of the sources put it, "he is a realist and kept coming back to questions about the fund-raising." The second source said some around Pence also have reminded him of the difficulty of mounting a presidential campaign from the House, and noted that, at age 51, he would have a better platform to explore a presidential run if he first was elected governor.

It's just who you are, it's why you are despised and not listened to here.

Funny, you keep wanting to chat, like a lonely school girl with a crush on me. You constantly are trying to convince me Palin is what she isn't. And you constantly read my posts. So much for not "listened to here". I mean I guess it's nice to have a fan club of retards like you, kinda.

That’s what it looked like to me. Apparently he was first elected in 2004 so he may not be able to run again.

DeMint will be my favorite, if he runs. I love Michele Bachmann too. Cain’s got the right ideas.

Nice try, typical of your deceit and general attempts to be like Grima Wormtongue. You do that role effectively here sometimes.

The conversation is broader in that interview, and she's pretty clear only that she wouldn't run if someone else who could win, and govern effectively stepped in.

So far that leaves no one.

But nice try you lying piece of Grima crap.....

Typical stooge response.

she wouldn't run if someone else who could win, and govern effectively stepped in.

Please quote me the "someone else could win" or "govern effectively" in relation to my direct quote.

I'll be waiting.

GOOD

We won a lot of governor's seats this time. WE need more. With a good majority of Gov’s, we can wield a lot of power and stop the feds in their tracks. WE can push them out of the state's business and reestablish STATE'S RIGHTS!

We're building towards being able to have enough states on board for a Constitutional Amendment. It's crucial we get the power back in the hands of the states.

I never post to you to try to convince you of Palin's many fine attributes. Why should I, you're just a Moby type troll who disrupts and divides.

It's much more fun to point out who you are....a slandering piece of crap who is not interested in the conservative movement making any headway, like Grima W., you just pretend.

I don’t have any heartburn with a Gubner Pence either. He still would have made a fine POTUS though.

Sorry pissy, you're so lost, so despicable, so deceitful, and so petty, it's kind of pitiful.

The most disliked poster on FR, and a well deserved reputation at that.

ROFLMAO. You went into such clownish contortions telling me that at some very specific point in time (meaning the time when Palin was campaigning for McCain to beat Hayworth) that you declared for that moment Mccain did not support amnesty, and therefore Palin's "I agree with him on immigration" wasn't a colossal eff-up.

Try again, retard

Cool. A feller has got to be good at something. Pissing off lickspittle cultists with the truth ain’t a bad gig.

So filled with deceit and disinformation.

Enjoy yourself Grima, no one listens to you.

And try to have a good evening dreaming of Duncan saying nice things about you.........if he'll ever respond to you again after sandbagging him to come on FR.

Sarah is a true believer who speaks from the heart, but the independents (whose votes we must secure) want someone more eloquent, who appears more educated and erudite...I'm behind John Bolton - no baggage, Goldwater Republican, true to his ideals over 50 years, and best of all, he pissed off the UN...

He already told me he’d come back for another round of questions. Oh well.

Riiiight.....

You're such an embarassment, you shamed him with that pimp crap you did.

What a disaster that thread was. What a dissembler you are. He must be so proud of the job you did for him here.......

I don’t want Pence to leave the House. We need him there. There are too few Conservatives as it is.
