The Economist provides the handy chart below assessing the Republican presidential field for 2012.

The bottom line?

If this is the best the Republicans can do, they might as well concede right now.

You are correct, they, the old guard and it is his turn like bob dope are was that dole, whatever, but I would bet at the last minute they will jilt him, Willard, and say in the name of party unity, we will run jeddie bushiee, we are so screwed.


Just to be clear, Palin apparently hired the dude who ran bobdoles’s campaign. She really is stupid.

Blodget links to a hit piece on Palin written by his own site’s political analyst and Bush cousin, John Ellis. Everyone says she aced her appearance on Long Island but Ellis predictably trashed it. Ellis even shares a family Bush name: Jeb is short for John Ellis Bush.

Let them riot. There are several groups in this country who's numbers need to be thinned considerably.

My guess is that ANY Republican could beat Obama if there is an election in 2012. I know I have strong dislikes for some of the Republican prospects (Newt? Give me a break!) but I would vote for any of them against the Kenyan usurper given the chance. My bet is that I do not get the chance.

ML/NJ

The chart looks like it was created by a Chris Christie fanboy.

Would you like to offer up the last truly conservative but even vaguely competitive presidential candidate that the press hadn’t savaged before he or she had even announced?

A Kangaroo could beat Obama in 12. He will have had 2 more years of total screwups by then.

ALL of TV supports him and idiots watch TV. If you are paying for cable or sat TV you are paying for your serfdom. Fox is no better.

It is obvious this is a Jeb Bush RINO operative.

If Saudia Arabia goes down aka The House of Saud - gas goes to $6. I hope the House of Saud goes down. Lots of pain but thank drooling idiots who watch Obama TV. TV supports him - if you watch then you are enabling it.

DeMint is in Iowa to size up the contenders so his endorsement,along with our Darling Nikki's (screw Graham!), will be well reasoned because this time SC will be the first Tea Party primary and their pick will likely unseat Obama.

Uhhh... belonging to an organization that didn't allow blacks to join until 1978 makes you unelected able. The media will be all over that. Jeremiah Wright double standard.

I see you’ve recently taken to appearing on threads where you can offer your view that Palin is stupid.

I think you know that Glassner was not Dole’s campaign manager and that you yourself are not that stupid.

Who is your candidate?

Trump is not a republican.

Few start out as Republicans. Most of us believe in the Tooth Fairy and Halloween as children. If Rush thinks Trump is a conservative, which he must or he would not give him air time, then that puts him miles ahead of the Romneys on the list, SFAIAC.
