Objective review of Republican candidates for President

[Lethevich]

I thought that the criticism of him came from him being ideological but impractical, and unchanging in the face of "common sense". Surely if he was some super racist, he wouldn't be in the closet about it.

Within three hours, Gingrich would move the US Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem.

He's downplayed his, erm, history.  So far as I can tell, he's not yet been generally called on the carpet for it, because his prior "sideshow" status did not compel the sort of scrutiny which is pointed towards a front-runner, Sara.  But, he's now verging on The Big Time.

Ron Paul, the GOP and race

Was there, you know, a sort of twinkle in his eye when he said that?

That's but one thing to criticize.  Candidates can and do have more than one fault.  Sometimes.

Too much fun!

Capehart: Gingrich is right about Ron Paul

[Todd]

Too much fun!

Please to refer to the first part of the first post in this thread.  I stand by my original assessment.


----------
I will exclude candidates like Gary Johnson, Fred Karger, Andy Martin, and all similar less than no names.  (It's just too much work to include them).  So, here we go:


 


Nuts.

You know, I'm thinking maybe the Republicans should draft a new candidate.  I say go for Kristi Noem from South Dakota.  She's, um, photogenic.  (Maybe a Romney/Noem ticket for 2012?)

Who?






Ha, good one!



 


May the best hair win.

Good call.

Hey, I've seen that justification somewhere before...

BTW, Romney seems to be failing in his role as Democrat-in-Disguise with all the Iran stuff.

This piece includes this chuckleworthy remark:

Gingrich, who has been elected to nothing since 1996 — the year "Braveheart" won the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Internet was used by just 45 million people worldwide — says that he is more electable than Mitt Romney. Even if true, this claim might be a Gingrich rarity: a minimalist boast.

More popcorn!

8 votes, huh...
Thank goodness for Perry & Bachmann receiving very little votes.

[Karl Henning]

Even more so, for Ron Paul's far-behind third-place showing.

[Todd]

Looks like they're set to drop out.  Shucks.

[Karl Henning]

Then it really will be no fun, all grouch . . . .

[Todd]

We can still ponder the Deep Musings of that Great Thinker, Ron Paul.  That's amusing.

[ibanezmonster]

Looks like it's Romney all the way, then.

[Todd]

It does look that way.  The NY Times online already had an article about how the Obama team is determining how to tarnish him: flip-flopper or too conservative.

Well, if you can't make yourself look good, I guess making your opponent look bad is the only other option...

At the very least, that match-up should make for some colorful health care debates . . . .
