I say level, the spelling and grammar are too correct for a Palin fan.

AstroTurf perhaps?

It definitely adheres to Poe's law either way.

Or Palin herself.

Cain on the Libya crisis is almost as bad as Perry and his SC teen queen moment. So stupid and on a national stage.

Cain gotta be a liberal plant.

Jesus, this can't be real life. In America. In 2011.

Cain on Libya is so good. "No, that's a different one..." lolz.

You know, I'm glad we have someone out there that skips the part where they try hard to pretend they know wtf they are talking about.

It's just the level of leadership on display from the GOP side, from Congress to who they want to compete for the presidency, is so low. Is it because they all sit around and watch who Simon Cowel thinks is good? Do they miss the days of the carnival barker setting his tent in a vacant lot, then rousing them to see the dog faced boy.

Even the Paulites on this board have to admit he looks like a raving lunatic on the debate platform. And you actual see him a a rational person. To use a Steward (sic), he's the thinnest kid at fat camp.

...no.

But as it doesn't sound like anyone in the GOP primary would ever get your vote anyway, it doesn't much matter if you personally marginalize all of them as bat**** crazy or whatever.

Current Drudge headline: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/m...-the-lead.html

Gingrich is also up to 14% on intrade, and Romney is still gaining ground - up to 70.5%. In other words, the market thinks there is an 84.5% chance that either Romney or Gingrich takes the nomination.

Again, I just don't foresee anyone but Romney or Gingrich taking the nomination, and every day this seems to become clearer and clearer to everyone.

I know intrade markets are too thin blah blah blah, but I think it has more predictive value than polling (which it takes into account, along with everything else, which is why it's probably the most valuable predictive tool currently available) in terms of a candidate's chance of getting the nomination. Just my 2 cents.

I continue to laugh at this republican field and mainstream republicans in general. I hope you guys know you are in for a huge bounce because this is the best you can do at the top of the ticket.

When I ordered my Newt shirt I was order # 264. I think he will pull off Iowa and take down SC too. The field should thin by this point. It should be one hell of a race from there.

It really could go until my vote counts! Mitt is going to win his share of states and he has the money and ground. This base vs beltway race is going to be interesting.

Cres,

From a historical perspective, Newts' leadership from minority leader to speaker is pretty darn huge. To compare the political accomplishments of Newt to the sitting Presidents when he was in the senate is laughable. To compare the presidents accomplishments in the private sector to Cain, Rommney or Newt is again, laughable.

To compare the political (and only) accomplishments of the sitting President with Jimmy Carters', well, now you have something close to compare. Jimmy probably wins because he has had some seccess prior to the oval office.

Newt was the guy who started the crippling polarization and lack of any kind of cooperation we see in the House today. So that'll be sweet to have in the white house.

Also lol Cain. It's hilarious for Republicans who pretended like Obama was some great threat to this nation but were more than willing to nominate a man who didn't even know China has nukes.

suzzer,

Until the contract with America, the house was ruled for 40 years by the Dems that did what they wanted because they owned the place. There was no need for cooperation.

If you would be so kind to tell me of the great cooperation that speaker Nancy showed from 2007-2010, working with Republicans, I would love to have a read.

I ask once again....why isn't Paul Ryan running?

He would win the nomination EASILY....I mean LOLLZZZZZZZZZZZZ HERM CAIN and his urge to touch non-consenting women is leading the polls still at this point...LOL GOP

Is there a reason that people who think that there is one noble party and one awful party aren't ashamed about stealing oxygen?

This "us vs. them" mentality like people should root for Team Republican or Team Democrat and defend their team viciously like it's a ****ing high stakes football game is so cancerous.

+1000000000

Ryan is a little young. It is reasonable to assume that he wants to increase his power in the house and work on his primary issue. A run and a lose diminishes his position a bit.
I beleive he really wants to be the budget hammer right now. I don't think he would trade his spot with a senate seat. I don't think he wants the VP either. He may give it a go in four or eight years.

Lol at the idea of Pelosi working with republicans when the republicans simply refused to play ball on every major issue. Or I guess your idea of negotiating is to just kill any idea the republicans don't like.

Since Newt is surging, and we've talked a lot about him on here recently, I have a question people who might vote for him should ask themselves.

If socialism is as bad he says, and he is so smart, and as capable as he claims to be, why doesn't he understand the fundamental ways to combat it?

Either he doesn't understand what socialism is or he has no desire to beat it back.

He's an establishment Republican whose time hasn't come yet. What exactly do you like about him so much? He doesn't have Romney's liberal record from Massachusetts or Gingrich's personal issues, but he's not as good a speaker and debater as either of them. I don't think he's a better candidate than either of them. No one as young as him is going to be approved by the GOP establishment to run, and he backs the party through and through.

suzzer is unintentionally hilarious.

I hate the polarization of politics in america today.... god damn that newt for starting it!

classic.

ikesbot nonsense reply™! Someone had to start it. if I punch you in the face and we get in a fight are we both equally culpable?

Also, the whole 'i hate politics being mean' stuff is dumb because:

a) Politics being mean is normal, not the other way around
b) When politicians come together you get things like TARP, PATRIOT, Stimulus, Auto bailout, etc, etc, etc. **** cooperation, bring on deadlock.
