Really? I think Pawlenty and Bachmann could both beat Obama by 10 pts. Obama has proven himself unfit for office. Obama possibly would beat Paul, possibly not.

I’m really ticked that Pawlenty did better than Cain.

IMO...Cain is the real deal. Don’t know if he can pull himself up....but he needs to be there. Somehow.

I have wanted Katherine Harris to run for President.

She looked so hot on a horse.

Bachmann has zero chance of being President. Sorry if the truth offends you.

Don't take my word for it or the evidence of some administrative forms. Listen to your own analysis. Do you believe Palin is in the Race?

I still like Palin/Perry or Perry/Palin and want Bachman to bow out at some point. I want Newt and Paul to stay in as long as possible as well as Cain to keep the Perrys, Palins and Bachmans to not avoid tough issues and to pound on Obama personally and politically so at some point the leading candidates don’t have to.

The winner was the highest bidder. Bachmann and Paul forked enough cash to buy votes at 30 dollars a pop.

I think the fact that Gain got nearly 3 times what Romney got is awesome!

Would be great to have Herman Cain and Allen West!

That would really put some folks’ knickers in a twist for sure!

It means nothing. Romney won last time. He lost IA caucus. Perry Palin didn't compete and Romney didn't make the effort this time because he knows buying all those votes just to say you won the straw means nothing about winning the Caucus.

Look despite your having a huge crush on Mrs Palin, she still not going to date you no matter how many gushing posts of slavish worship you write about her.

Time for some of you around here to start thinking with your heads for a change.
