The Candidates...
Gary Johnson

Herman Cain

Rick Santorum
Santorum served two terms in the U.S. House and two terms in the U.S. Senate. He became the Senate's third-ranking Republican in 2001. He was defeated for reelection in 2006.
Ron Paul
Paul is serving his 11th full term in the U.S. House. He’s an obstetrician-gynecologist and was the Libertarian nominee for president in 1988. He unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for president in 2008

11 million here illegally? That's far too low! And against a border wall? Goodbye.
“I don’t know if I’d throw that kind of language around with Herman Cain.”
I quite agree. HC is a VERY intelligent man with exceptional oratory ability to articulate his thoughts and (conservative) values.
Johnson is digging a whole
Cain rising
Santorum holding his own.
Paul already buried
Pawlenty dog paddling
Same here. I've not paid him any attention. He is a pleasant surprise.
Cain supported TARP and he supports not releasing the OBL pic.
I like Cain but I don't strongly agree with him on every issue.
Pawlenty: UN is a pathetic organization. Awesome
Pawlenty just called the UN “pathetic”. Bravo!
GOOD ANALYSIS.
Squirrel is right! I was wondering what he reminded me of!
Herman Cain: no teleprompter needed.
LOLing that today it came out that Baraq has a $100,000 teleprompter consultant contract.
Pawlenty admitted he was wrong on global warming. His issue is, coming from Minnesota, the ethanol pandering.
Pawlenty asked about Libya. Takes credit for the 'no-fly zone', says Obama took too long and gave up power to UN. When Obama said Gaddafi had to go he should've made it happen.
Santorum asked about Pakistan. Threaten to take away the aid. Wants to engage. When challenged, starts spinning.
Good to see Paul and Johnson splitting the lib' vote.
Rush Limbaugh said “Cain has all his eggs in one basket” and he is Coulter’s 2nd choice with Christie being her first. However, I watched Cain, read his bio, views and really do think he is the clear winner of this bunch.
redk didn’t call you a liar. I agree with redk about what she said.
you can’t speak for what Hannity would or would not say.
Johnson asked about Trump's idea of tariffs on China. He's opposed to tariffs of any kind on any one.
When? just the fact he went along with it and America is paying for it today is enough for me.
Good luck finding a candidate that agrees with everything you want. Weigh the most important againsts against the most important fors...and then you get your guy (or gal)
Are you a big fan of gun control?
Christie is not a good choice.
Paul, West, Palin and Cain are our best hope.
