Primary 2012: Romney Wins Debate By Saying Nothing, Having Nice Hair

#FreeScheck#FreeSKFM
I think Labor Day (September 5th) is generally considered the cut-off point for new candidates.
Yes and No, in 2008 by the end of may 2007 all the canidates who were going to run had already declared, including both winning canidates. So while there may be some actual cut off point, the longer she waits to declare the less likely she is actually going to run.
What the hell? o_O
For some reason Palin seems to think that she has that demographic, but the best numbers we have to support the Republican strategist's claims are from the 2008 election, when she was not terribly popular with women.
If azith28 meant Tea Party voters, then I can't speak to that. They seem to like her.
I refuse to belive that bachmann is actually raising 28 children in her home. Maybe if she was a 60 year old social worker and talking about the entiretry of her career I could buy it, but 23 foster children sounds more like 12 year old boys bragging about how big their dicks are.
There are scientific polls, unscientific polls, and "forum made up of primarily liberal/democratic posters with a smattering of conservatives/republicans who are mostly choosing the funniest option". I'd say that we just went over this, but we did manage to put out a good 25 pages in half a day, so even I can't be bothered going hunting for it.
*snicker*
Amidst the GOP contenders? Maybe. He's white, religious and has said some fairly batshit crazy things over the years.
In the general? No. He really doesn't. The batshit crazy goes over well with Teapers and the hard religious right, but overall he'll get creamed... frothed... look it's going to be a mess nobody will want to clean up but somebody has to or its going to stain the sheets even worse.
See, here's the thing Azith: Herman cain isn't a politician, so he's never had to worry about earning popular support based on his policys and his personality. as such, he's going to be in for a rude surprise if he actually clinches the nomination and gets pasted in the general.
As to the other part about black voters: if presented with two black candidates the african american population will vote for obama. why? because cain is part of a party that has long been at odds with that demographic and I seriously question if he understands the concerns of that community.
Don't forget that we are most likely choosing the funniest option with the least chance of winning the general.
No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.
Ah, the hokey-pokey dance of announcing your run.
Seeing as how they had the same expectations with Palin, it reasons that the conservatives/Republicans just don't get it.
I didn't see the debate, but that's actually true (if phrased terribly poorly.) If someone is infiltrating the government to do nefarious things, lying about a loyalty oath is really no big deal. You'd be much better served by thoroughly vetting them.
I'm sure somewhere there's an academic paper discussing whether it's possible to announce that you're going to announce that you're running, without ipso facto announcing that you're running.
IOW: Can't MSNBC just say: "Breaking News -- Jon Huntsman announces presidential campaign."
Why would you need an academic paper when that's what Newt Gingrich did?
He announced via twitter that he was going to announce that he was announcing a run for president.
I've heard wild stories of racism and bigotry outside the big cities.
At some point you have so many nested announcements that your entire campaign collapses into a blue screen of death.
Well, although Obama will probably win Oregon and Washington, but I reckon the 2012 Republican candidate will have a lock on Idaho!
You actually have to get east of the Cascades before Washington turns into Idaho-lite
Or south of Olympia...
Or north of Mukilteo...
Or west of Seattle...
Just, nevermind.
From the CNN transcript:
It has to do with campaign finance, I assume. This is just the way to get around the regulation.
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
I think I found the ideal Republican presidential nominee...
Purge the unclean...
Utterly confused. He suggests loyalty oaths right after telling a story about the futility of such things because people not inclined to take such oaths, can just lie?
And people applauded?
They'd kill 3,000 or 30,000, or 300,000 or 3,000,000, or 30,000,000 million people (if they could)!

I asked that exact question while watching it last night. Loyalty oaths are important even though they're useless?

Do these dolts have any clue how many people companies have hired to ensure compliance with this stuff?
What happens if Sarbanes/Oxley is gone tomorrow? How will that somehow turn into more positions now that companies ostensibly will have less work to do?
Well, the I5 corridor is a pretty notorious hotbed of KKK activity, but it's not like we're tripping over racists every time we turn the corner over here.
did... did gingrich compare muslims to nazis or...?
Put all that together and you've got a lot of really fucked up pockets to be found out there.

The worst part for the GOP thats not an absurd stance, thats pretty much a mainstream republican ideal.
