(now watch the "Rick Perry for President" train try to leave the station...or perhaps they'll just get back on the Mitt Romney commuter train to nowhere)

Newt is the only candidate from the McCRap wing of the party running

Don't forget Pawlenty (son of McCrap) and Romney (wannabe McCrap).

Why has no one mentioned Michele Bachmann? I thought she was going to make an announcement this week.

It’s a good question. I would guess that liberal blacks would perceive it as racist and vote for Obama, which doesn’t matter, because they will vote for him even if he was chewing the heads off babies at a press conference. The more conservative blacks will be more likely to vote on principal, like they would do anyway.

I think now that the novelty of a “black” president has worn off, the “moderates” of whatever race will be more likely to vote on pocketbook issues, which is all they care about anyway.

Bottom line while Cain improves our take of the “people of color” vote by maybe 10%, Obama will still get 80-85%. Of a small and shrinking demographic.

The philosophical bright spot is that for us, his race doesn’t matter; for them, Obama’s “race” is critical.

Regarding Team Bush (Team RINO?) - I just heard Paul Gigot of the WSJ float the name of Jeb Bush as a potential candidate for 2012. Amnesty and rolling over to the Dems is not what we need right now. But at least we can work to consolidate gains in the House + take back the Senate.

Yeah. How to throw The Tea Party under the bus and still ask them to vote for you.

She’s got to be doing the math and it’s been very hard for her and her family already

I think she will run and she's waiting to announce on her terms, not the MSM's term.

When trying to decide whether or not to do Dancing With The Stars, Bristol said something like, "No matter what we do or don't do, people are going to talk about us so we might as well do what we really want"

I'm figuring that the Palin family will decide what will best benefit the country as they know the attacks against them won't stop no matter the decision.

“on matters affecting us all, our family constitution gives a veto to the women’s caucus, and there is no override provision”

in other words, plainly spoken
his wife said NO.

I need to see where Johnson is on the issues. I love that he’s for legalizing weed but I am not sure where he is on Immigration.

His debate performance was pathetic. He actually whined to Chris Wallace that he wasn’t getting enough camera time.

“It will be 1980 all over again.”

Good call, but you only see half the picture.

With Ms. Palin, it _might_ be “like 1980”.
Or, it _might_ be like 1964.

Could go either way. She’ll either win convincingly, or lose resoundingly.

I will vote for her on any ballot that’s put in front of me.

The rest of them are losers. Some will lose bigger than others.
But they’ll all lose.

Just sayin’....

That was my thought as well, but after looking at his familky picture the female faction of his family way outvotes him. lol
I imagine his daughters didn’t want to be harrassed and trashed like the Bush girls by the press. Who can blame them?

Great....we already aren't competing well against other nations in education and business, so let's all show up to work/school stoned and completely bury the U.S. with an, "It's all good...no problem" attitude.

And, plenty of dirty laundry it was. When the microscope was placed on her sorry self, it would have shown a worthless slut more interested in banging some doctor in California and getting cosmetic surgery than caring for her little kids. And Daniels would have been shown to be a pathetic doormat without the first sign of a testicle.

By the time the election came, the childrens’ legitimacy would have been in question and the buzz would have been about whether a “woman like that” should be permitted to occupy the White House. And, she shouldn’t.
