Rumor has it, the GOPers have convinced themselves they're repeating the primary courtship dance done by Obama and Hillary back in 2008. Said dance made Obama an unbeatable super candidate that steamrolled McCain. They're expecting the trials and tribulations the Party is enduring will make them strong and formidable in November. I'd just like to know where they get their weed from.

I checked out his site, and aside from a couple of links not working, the only interesting thing I noticed was there is not one mention of any specific Repub candidate for POTUS.

The fact is that the tea party segment within the GOP is splintering the masses and I can't see Romney capitulating to surrender if there is a brokered convention because (IMO) this is his last grab for the brass ring. He's getting pissed now and it shows. His white horse is gasping from the weight of all that gold armor and there's more than a good chance he won't take 'Myth' across the finish line.

If it comes down to a brokered convention, it will be a no holds barred brouhaha. Fun for us, but potentially devastating for GOP's present and future wellbeing.

I've been reading reports lately that Paul and Romney have 'bonded'. That said, IF Paul and his supporters get in line behind MR (not convinced this is a possibility) it could create a whole new set of dynamics.

Unless Newt is resurrected, he will have no impact.

Rick could well shoot himself in the same foot he keeps having to remove from his mouth and soul unless he exchanges his garb of Catholic zealot for a red, white and blue sweater vest that gives him the appearance (at least) of a patriot that puts country, not his Catholicism first.

Super Tuesday will tell the future for GOP's fate.

LOL. Only a man could admire another man's skirt chasing and consider it a positive trait. I read your link. Women are not going to let " arm candy" represent them in the Whitehouse. I don't care how nice his first two wives are to him or how much his kids love him. There is enough women who won't reward a womenizer with a trophy wife even in the VP slot with their vote. The party bosses know that.

True that, he's quite the jack. But that's only one half of the duo, what about little Ricky? The only positive to Santorum is that it's the only expense of a cheap birth control.

Well, based upon an inventory of potentially attractive characteristics, I would have to guess that either he has seen Newt lick his eyebrows, (which I understand he is wont to do at parties, particularly where strong punch is served), or, he has heard the rumors from Newt's High School Gym class, where his nickname was El Burro...

Re: Huck. Why didn't he run? He would have won the primary. I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now. But like I said, I don't trust em.

Well, they also have Fox, so that helps a bit. But you make a good point.

I confess I am not sure how important ground game really is for the right side. I think its much more important for the left then the right. But that is just my intuition, I haven't seen any studies. If anybody around here has please let me know.
