I agree with all but your last line: with the economy the way it is (the "misery index" used against Carter, measured using the same definitions as it was back then, is currently at about 25%, as compared to about 22% when Reagan was running. Obama is TOAST.)

Proof? 3% bounce lasting less than a week off of bin Laden, even after the "I am Conan the SEAL Messiah" speech.

Oh, and landertiger is a TROLL. See post #141 this thread, and note that his post #201 was removed by the mods.

He also neglected at least once on this thread to give a courtesy *PING* to someone he mentioned.

Cheers!

He is like any other business person in that he gives small amounts of money to both parties, depending on what is best for his shareholders.

ALAN MULALLY

In that role, he was responsible for all of the company’s commercial airplane programs and related services. Mulally also was a member of the Boeing Executive Council and served as Boeing’s senior executive in the Pacific Northwest.

Earlier, Mulally served as Boeing’s vice president of Engineering, and as vice president and general manager of the 777 program.

Mulally joined Boeing in 1969 and progressed through a number of significant engineering and program-management assignments, including contributions on the 727, 737, 747, 757 and 767 airplanes.

Mulally serves on the President’s Export Council which was formed in 2010 to advise U.S. President Barack Obama on export enhancement and ways to encourage companies to increase exports and enter new markets. He previously served as co-chair of the Washington Competitiveness Council, and sat on the advisory boards of NASA, the University of Washington, the University of Kansas, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the U.S. Air Force Scientific Advisory Board.

I guess we will know who is right in a few months.

No need: everyone on this thread already knows you're a TROLL right now!

Cheers!

I don’t have a favorite, but I have a list of unfavorites and he is on it. (As are Mitt, Ron Paul and Newt.) Everyone else I am open to taking a look at and listening to before I decide.
The above 4 are nonstarters for me.
Oh and I don’t think Palin will run either.

I hope Palin doesn’t run. She has the same problem as Huck - a good life now, no reason to change it when winning is not possible.

One problem on your Cain scenario. Michele Bachmann, John Bolton, and Trump will jump in, I figure. They will split votes between conservatives. Cain may have to start attacking them.

Which one of those young Huckabee hogs was the dog killer?

I’m not the law ~ I’m a human being. Blood counts. Government and its laws is an imposition on human liberty. Biggest benefit to me is that the government promises to track down and punish people who harm me.

My hope is that Michele Bachmann wins then the rest of the conservative candidates and voters unite behind her and she picks Herman Cain as VP and Bolton gets a big role when she wins. Cain has a good shot though if he can take out the rinos, but if Bachmann gets in then it becomes a horse race between Bachmann and Cain for the conservative vote. Then some will look at Trump and Bolton should they get in. For me, it is a toss up between Bachmann and Cain at this point on who I like better. Problem is everything changes if Palin enters. Then I could see conservatives votes really split.

Odds are Jeb won’t even attend the convention. He has some baggage ~ his wife and kids.

You couldn't be more wrong about Governor Palin.

She enjoys the support she has because she has been virtually the only Republican going toe-to-toe with the Obama regime.

Also, please read her policy statements and notes instead of focusing on the fabricated tabloid trash of her, which is what the media and establishment want you do to.

There are a lot of conservatives out there who are literally sitting on their hands until Sarah formally declares, and then you'll see a torrid of cash donations and volunteers out of nowhere.

Governor Palin is the right person at the right time to stop the collapse of our once-great Republic.

So having a hereditary Royal Bloodline that inherits absolute power over you is fine with you, it is just as good as the Constitutional Republic America is based on?

Wow.

Heard Huntsman lately?

He's a blithering idiot. There are a thousand guys sharper than him already in line.

Where he ever got the idea he could run for President is a really good question.

I think just about anybody will do that against what they define as "evil."

Oh, I don't know about that, Herman Cain ain't exactly sitting on his laurels in that regard.

Palin will have her work cut out for herself to beat him if she does decide to enter.

Go on and run to the mods and see if you can get me kicked. I don’t really care.

So you won't mind getting zotted into next week, then. Fine by us.

Oh, and no one pushed for you to get zotted. The mods just noticed how you were more intested in agitation than in educated debate. Toodles.
