Hmmm.

That is the first mainstream media article/poll that isn’t gaga over either Romney or Bush.

Maybe Romney AND Bush and their moneymen will take a hint — if either gets the Republican nomination, the Democratic nominee wins — again.

Of course, that does NOT mean Christie or Huckabee is the new go-to guy.

Frankly, I am just as excited about Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber as I am about Dole, McLame, Lindseed Graham, Huckelberry, Crispy Creme, and a whole host of other GOPe Rinos.

I can’t put much stock in an article that mentions Rick Snyder as a new conservative leader. That guy is about as conservative as Lindsey Graham or that idiot that started the ‘no labels’ party.

You are right that Snyder is a moderate, but FWIW, I think the author wrote that Snyder ran as a conservative, is a new face, and has been effective in Michigan.

My top candidate is, of course, Ted Cruz.

Great intellect, great debater, no administrative experience. I hope he stays in the Senate and goes after McConnell.

“I would love to run a Cruz/Martinez ticket if she pans out.”

That would not be bad at all. I could vote for that ticket.

RE:”NBC/WSJ poll: Republicans unenthused about Romney, Bush bids for 2016”

I saw that this morning.

Come on GOP. With Dems calling for redistribution aren't Romney and Bush the two perfect candidates to pitch the alternative, that if they make mo $$$ we all end up better? If Romney gets a tax cut we all win. I think that line cant lose.

And don't forget that 47% that Romney claimed that he wouldn't care about.....

I guess in 2012 he didn't convince the entire remaining 53% to vote for him, the other 47% ......he has a plan for them,....??

But this time Romney says he will be *himself*, not the phony his handlers told him to be in 2012.

So, who has more admin experience, the solicitor general of a state with 27 million inhabitants or the governor of Wyoming with half a million people?

the Solicitor General supervises all appellate litigation on behalf of the Office of the Attorney General. The Office of Solicitor General (OSG) approves all civil and criminal appeals in state and federal courts involving the state, its agencies and its officials. OSG also directly handles those appeals determined to be most significant to Texas and to the development of federal and state jurisprudence and appears on occasion in federal and state trial courts on matters implicating the state's most critical interests. In addition, OSG regularly authors amicus curiae briefs for submission to the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts across the nation.

The Solicitor General is the state's chief litigator in the U.S. Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court. In addition, as a member of the Attorney General's executive leadership team, the Solicitor General serves as a top legal advisor to the Attorney General and advises other agency lawyers and state officials on complex constitutional and other legal matters.

what?!

I am hyped up they are both running!

Now they can both split the moderate Republican GOPe voters and leave the way open for Cruz or Walker to take the nomination!

That cuts both ways since we’ll have 3 establishment candidates, but on the conservative side there will be Cruz, Perry, Rubio, Paul, Walker, Pence, Martinez, and Santorum.

Looks like Huckabee will try to split off some of the Christian vote and that Santorum will try to split off some of the the pro-life vote.

What do you think?

There is absolutely NO basis for a Santorum candidacy. He wouldn’t even be able to win his own home state, he couldn’t be anymore unlikable, and if by some miracle he DID get the nomination, he would get DESTROYED in the general election.

I’m SURE the RINO “front runners” will see to it that enough money gets into his campaign to split up the conservative vote during the primaries though. The biggest favor he could do for the conservative movement would be to NOT get in! He is DONE as a national political concern.

I think Santorum, like Romney, has lost enough races. He should smell the coffee. Unfortunately, I think these campaigns keep alive his name recognition and enable him to make a living.

They just need to come to FR and poll the Freepers. Last week had several threads filled with people ready willing and outright PROMOTING the RINO choices to WIN!!!

Because winning with an R is what matters most.

Other than Reagan and Coolidge what governor has been worth a crap in the White House? Clinton? BushII? Carter?

I’ll take Cruz anytime over what is being shoved at us by the GOP buffoons.

Not sure why so many here thing giving the /no matter what’ crowd more fall back options in front of/before considering a conservative is such a great idea. But they better start thinking a bit deeper about history.

Because the more chance you give the morally gutless to vote RINO, the more chance they will find excuses to.

I’d go with a couple stupid and the rest paid plants and open liberals. Because the odds of that many stupid people in one place would require a mental health facility.
