“National Republicans also note that the debates later in the schedule won’t be at arenas nearly as large as the first, which will make ticketing a less prominent concern.”

Isn’t this backward? If the arena is smaller won’t tickets be HARDER to come by? Doesn’t that make it a MORE prominent concern?

POLITICO reached out to the seven campaigns who faced off in an Aug. 6 undercard debate on Fox News...
Glad they rushed the exposé into print!

Partisan Media Shill Alert!

You know who embarrassed Gilmore, Pataki, Graham, Perry and Jindal?

The people around Gilmore, Pataki, Graham, Perry and Jindal who convinced them there was a need for them in this race.

Of those, I would support Jindal, but once the polls started coming out, his people should have seen that he was not connecting with people in a meaningful way and gone back to being Governor full time.

If we nominate any of our resident RINOs (and the list is large), we deserve what we get.

And this is what we’ll get (apologies to Monty Python and the gang):

The GOP’s not pinin’! It’s passed on! This party is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! Its metabolic processes are now ‘istory! It’s off the twig!
It’s kicked the bucket, it’s shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!!

THIS IS AN EX-PARTY!!

It’s hard riding on the back of the clown bus.

I’m sure Politico is really concerned about the poor guys at the bottom of the GOP polls.

I am having a delightful time seeing Trump upset the crap out of these guys. I especially enjoy seeing Lindsay Graham seethe, while scoring less than 1% in polls. I have never seen him seethe before. I even like the sound of “seething Lindsay”.

Hmmmm. That is how many of us feel sending Pubbies to Washington and having them turn on the very citizens who elected them.

No, it is part of the GOPe plan. Stack the field to marginalize the views of the insurgents. And as they drop out, they will endorse Bush or some other GOPe candidate.

Graham is McCain's proxy so he can express his bellicose national security views.

The GOPe plan is failing. The insurgents are leading the race.

Maybe the participants should not be selected by millionaires. Do they all get to keep that money?

Perhaps they should think of ways to ensure Republican voters select the participants. Each state has a Republican Party.

Maybe regional debates without reporters would be the answer.

It remains to be seen how well they will do once the field narrows down. The insurgents may have hit their combined ceiling. I hope not. Personally, I won’t vote for a GOPe candidate.

We need someone to photoshop Lindsay Graham onto “anger boy” that Muslim kid in the anger parade.
