Odd how many die hard liberals think Romney is sort of okay.

Obviously we need someone other than Romney.

No more needs be said.

It says a lot that Liberals are willing to consider the qualities of a candidate regardless of political affiliation. It says even more that you are not.

If there is no more to your political philosophy than who you consider an ally and an enemy, then I suggest that you are not engaging in politics so much as petty tribalism.

Newt absolutely is vulnerable and beatable,

however, he can also boldly and easily handle and eliminate all or most of his personal objections

as adroitly and adeptly as he is handling every other question lately.

And he will destroy Obama in any head-to-head.

Oh, Newt can think on his feet, all right. He'll probably finish pretty high, but you know how everybody guns for you if you're up front. Newt hasn't faced really tough questions about his previous actions yet. When he does, he's going to need every bit of slickness he can muster, because he has a lot of baggage.

And all the polls I've seen show him losing to Obama by ten percentage points or more.

At least he reserved his guesses to himself during the brain freeze moment ;)

Interesting--if your strategy is to forego any candidates BECAUSE they're capable of capturing the swing vote, good luck with that.

He reminds me of those people Jay Leno interviews during his Jaywalking segments, the type of people who can't tell who the current president is.

His handlers are now saying that at least he didn't say anything that was incorrect.

Considering some of what the GOP has said, that's significantly better than answering the question. If it had been Bachmann, she would have said something unbelievably stupid and probably wrong.

Then again, it is a bit unfair to ask Republicans if they agree with something that was a clear and very popular success for the Obama administration. They are suppose to criticize him, but it's kinda hard. The most they can do is say, "I agree with the outcome, but I would have done it better."

Not odd at all. Many liberals are sick of Obama and hope to vote for a Huntsman or Romney.

Many liberals are disappointed in Obama, to be sure, but that doesn't mean they'd cut off their nose to spite their face. At most, they vote with their butts. (By sitting on them, come election day.) Problem is, many arch-conservatives will do this too if Huntsman or Romney are nominated.
 
I'm confused, MaGZ. How did Herman and Rick fail so miserably after going to Hymie Town and crawling to all that Jew money?

So who are Moishe and Shlomo backing now? Paul or Gingrich?

The hilited word put me in mind of a classic short story by Damon Knight, titled "The Handler." Obviously, the sweaty little guy in charge of Cain was sleeping at this point.
 
Jon Stewart just showed a clip of a reporter asking Cain, "Do you think your Libya comments reinforce the idea that you lack a thorough understanding of foreign policy?" And Cain turns to the camera and says "9-9-9."

Taken, as I understand, from the game "SimCity!"
 
Once again from this site, here is the average of various disparate polls. One of these polls had Romney with 24% and Cain with 14%. Another had Cain with 25% and Romney with 18%. So, this average may be as inaccurate as these individual polls.

Romney 22.0%
Cain 21.3
Gingrich 17.6
Perry 9.9
Paul 7.3
Bachmann 4.1
Santorum 1.9
Huntsman 1.3
undecided (by implication) 14.6

Granted that these polls are highly volatile - as is, so it seems, the Republican nomination - what is interesting is that Gingrich now seems within striking distance of making this a three-way race with Romney and Cain.

What I find somewhat appalling is that Bachmann's share has actually increased lately.

You can see that clip here.

However, maybe we should cut him some slack. Perhaps he was only saying "No," emphatically, three times, in German.

The "Democratic Nightmare" is now saying that he's "not supposed to know anything about foreign policy."

I'm not making that up - those are his exact words.


Look, Republicans...I get that you want to circle the wagons, I really do. "Stand by your man" and all that. But at this point there's really no way to avoid the fact that Herman Cain is a clown.
