I like the guy. I hope he’s as good on the stump as we presume he should be. He can be a powerful and effective speaker. I’ve heard a couple of speeches though, that while they weren’t awful they just weren’t great.
Time will tell. I’m not really invested in anybody yet. I like all of our candidates for various reasons. Yah, even Rudy. Romney is OK, except for the almost creepy perfect persona. I’m not sure he can win on the national level.
But Fred can, and so can Rudy. We’ll see.
It’s nice that we’ve actually got some depth on the bench this time around. There must really be some frustrated democrats. They’re the ones really sucking air. After eight years of an (R) in the white house they’ve practically got a gimme election. That’s just the way of things... and so this golden opportunity crops up and the best they can come up with is Hillary? And Obama? And Edwards? Holey second-string Batman!
Gore was embarrassing enough, but then they put up Kerry? Sheesh, they might as well have run Jane Fonda. All they need to do is run some mildly acceptable democrat governor from someplace and they’d own the election. But no...
It’s reminiscent of back when all we had was Bob Dole. Sure he was a nice guy and a war hero, but he was hardly exciting.
Shhhhhh. Keep it quiet. Here comes the Newt after Fred.
Reason for Newt:
1. He has so much money he has no idea what to do with it.
2. The biggest ego in the country.
3. He honestly believes he can out debate anyone running.
Huh? Someone has a pleasant personality and that is considered creepy?
