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.

There are tons of others contemplating running. I am only interested in the conservatives.

I was going to respond to that mendacious slander, but I've sworn to be civil :-)

Somehow I doubt the truth of that coming from a sycophant worshiper such as you. You wouldn't know what he said or meant if it was spelled out to you in front of your adoration altar.

If it is true, then his inability to beat "undecided" by a margin of 7-1 in his last primary is verified by his tone deafness.

If he couldn't see how much his self appointed FR rep is despised and ridiculed by most conservatives, how could he possibly ever get to 1% of any vote?

Well Hunter is no Mitt Romney, that’s for sure. Did Mitt sign your kneepads?

Every thing you touch turns to bullshit, including the candidates you support.

It's a good thing to know. A deceitful mental patient (or should be one) such as yourself has a great future. Your future is likely as good as your past success.........

*Loses to "undecided" by 7-1*

Yes, I know. I’m a regular Shleprock. So how did fellating Romney last time work out for you? He charged right on to the presidency, just like you knew he would....oh wait. On the bright side, your oral skills probably encouraged him he he should run again this time. You should be very proud

From your keyboard to God's ear.

But it's far worse than that.

You've established your bonafides in the world of mental disease.......or whatever your problem is......
