.......The conventional wisdom has been that a sizeable portion of the party’s base wants to defeat Romney. Rather, the Republicans interviewed said, many in the party are satisfied with Romney but waiting to see if a stronger candidate emerges.
“People are for him in the same way they were for Bob Dole” in 1996, said Tom Perdue, a longtime Georgia strategist. “They’re for him, but they’re looking far over their shoulder hoping somebody else is going to step up.”
He said that some major Atlanta donors backing Romney have told Perdue privately that they would “jump ship really fast” if Perry runs.
Perry will get an audience with about 200 major donors at a two-day Republican Governors Association summit next week in Aspen, Colo.
Ron Nehring, a former California Republican Party chairman, said “there’s a comfort level” with Perry, who appeals to social conservatives but also has one of the nation’s best records on creating jobs.

I’ve been voting for Sarah since 08. I got reprimanded at work for a lipstick balloon program I ran.
She better get her ass up and running now. I understand the
statute of limitations on suing her in AK expire in 14 days.
If she decides not, then it’s Perry.
"Marcus! Wake up! The Red Phone rang. Tell me what God wants me to do!"
My prior post is vindicated.
BTW, even that scenario you just mentioned is preferable to Obaama who has stated that the US can absorb a [nuclear] strike (implying he won't fire back even if fired upon), and who waits upon Valerie Jarret, and likely enough, William Ayers as well, for his advice.
You RINOs and irreligious cretins brought us to this position.
Cheers!

That was not even funny at least be funny and make sense.
Ping!

In that unlikely case, decidely so, since Bachmann is not emotionally capable of running the country, we would have no choice, but it would be W’s 3rd term.
