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

Same applies if it is Huckster.
And the fools will thin themselves while they hear the glad shouts of a good many patriots.

Lots of Mormon bigotry. The one person who comes off well is Christie. No sign of DeMint.
“I would take the worst candidate on this list before Obama.”
I would take a blindly thrown dart into the Bronx phone directory over Obama.
I wonder why DeMint isn’t on that list.
“Since when is “Mormon” code for “unelectable”, by the way? I don’t think anyone cares that Huntsman or Romney are Mormons. Hell, I don’t think anyone cares about them regardless.”
The word “flip-flopper” in that list is by far the reason most people of all political stripes completely distrust Mitt Romney.
That said, someone running for president, especially as a Republican, pretty much requires the dedicated Christian vote. Opinions of Mormonism and its validity as a religion vary greatly.
Sadly, when presented with that list as the selection, some 80% go for ‘other’.
The GOP seems to be wanting another ‘throw-away’ for 2012 in hopes that they can field someone better in 2016. It could be a repeat of 1996 or 2008.

Every 4 years we hope to see the cream rise to the top of the GOP, and all we actually get is skimmed milk.
Hardly any on the varying list of around 18 GOP wannabes are more than 2%. The field is just not inspiring.
Gingrich?
Romney?
Huckabee?
Pawlenty?
Barbour?
Christie?
Daniels?
J Bush?
etc.
None of them come even close to causing a ‘we we’ up someone’s leg [reference to Chris Matthews].
Congratulations president Woody Allen!
Thanks alot, Roadtest!
I could get behind a Christie-Bolton ticket.
I agree Gator. Sarah is my gal. Love to see the debate with S and O. She’ll mop the floor with him. And that’s if goofy can get on the ballot. All the libs can go suck eggs.
Many Evangelicals who consider Mormons “false Christians” will NOT vote for a Mormon and that hurts Romney in the general...magritte
Rush wants guests that make him look good. The Rush Limbaugh show is about The Rush Limbaugh show.
He has Gingrich on as well, who has screwed us over royally.
Money speaks louder than hype.
Yes they are partly owned by the NYT
You seriously believe DeMint is going through these motions just to ENDORSE someone?
No. He will run. If he was in play now? He would only draw attention by libtards who would seek to start the smears.
(As if there are any)
Drop dead loser.
So you want to kill those who don’t support Palin now? Cute. Are you in a cult?
Because he hasn’t officially (or unofficially) announced.
But just wait - he is biding his time.
