Who will win the GOP Presidential nomination in 2012?

[JimH52]

The GOP demographics in the primaries are wayyyyyyy different than on this forum. That said, from what I hear the old line want Mitch Daniels, the middle wants Mitt Romney, and the kids want the other kids. In GOP primaries its the old folks who call the shots (McCain beating Mitt is proof of that). The MSM can whine and promote and obfuscate and whine some more, but in November, it will be Mitt v Obama. The only way that won't happen is if Chris Christie jumps in, then Christie wins, hands-down.

Interesting, but it seems that Daniels is gaining a significant backing, from what I hear. That includes some major funding sources. Mitt seems to be overreaching in an attempt to prove that he is not that monster who started the health care Debaucle.

True, Daniels can ante-up, but so can Mitt. Have you heard about Daniel's wife problem? Sounds like some wayyy-cool SNL skits in the offing if he jumps in.

As for Mitt, all he has to say is that he won a race in MA, he can win across the US. The healthcare debate is still on-going, we need to try different things to see what works and what doesn't. He could say that Paul Ryan's plan is DOA and would cost the GOP dearly. The GOP needs a better plan, one that is workable. The Debaucle is what we have now, its going bankrupt. Adding 30,000,000 more to a bankrupt system is moronic. Stay tuned. The healthcare debate should be interesting. Who better to debate Obama on healthcare???

Oh yeah, he does have an issue there. Interesting...

What will DOG Mitt is Obama Touting RomneyCare as a matter of course...

Which is more close to workable? Obamacare is getting blown out of the water in Courts. At least Romneycare was tried. The WSJ had an article today putting things in perspective. Romneycare is workable with higher co-pays and fewer freebies. No one gets "something for nothing".

Maybe...


Romneycare proves failure


Healthcare is NOT a right...it's a business...and a RESPONSIBILITY of the people to look for it at a price that suits them in the free market.

To ALL Gubmint...Hands off.

Here's a discussion. The part that I got is that the democrat legislature gave out way too many freebies. If everyone paid, and there were adequate co-pays it might be workable. Its working better than the -$51-trillion ponzi scheme we now call Medicare.

I'll wait for the actual presidential election and vote for my usual Alfred E. Newman. Haven't been disappointed yet, he's won every time..........

Medicare should have NEVER happened...is my first poinjt...it was a step into FDR's wanting what we are facing NOW...and LBJ's GREAT SOCIETY

Just Socialist gobbledygook do-gooder crap where people NEED to be responsible for themselves under a free market system...that NO Socialist will ever like...

*Sorry*

I prefer to see who is positively in or out before I make a decision. There's still some time before the field is finalized.

Trying to pick the winner now is like trying to pick the winner of the Kentucky Derby without knowing what horses are running.

 

[Zander]

A candidate will be nominated.

I think the GOP has a problem right now, The front runner has a "Health Care" problem. Romney seems pretty week. Ron Paul is interesting, but his policies are so far out of the main stream, I don't see him even getting to double digits. Gingrich may as well forget it with his morality problems. Huckabee may not even run. I heard that W and some of the GOP establishment are backing Mitch Daniels, but he hasn't announced and some feel that he won't. Who will be the GOP nominee?

Asking for predictions now is what politically ignorant people do...


Kudos....

Yea, Daniels has to overcome the cuckold thing.

Well, if the elections were held today Paul would win by a landslide.

I don't know if 'win' is the right word, when whomever it is will get their ass handed to them by President Obama.

 

[Synthaholic]

Isn't this a bit early? WHY the rush? Are you trying to zero-in on which candidate to focus on destroying first?

Yes.

 

[Synthaholic]

I already did this poll!

Yeah, but an unelectable moron won your poll.

Just for the record...Moe and Curly Howard are dead...LOL

This is getting very bizarre. What's going on with the GOP? A new version of "Don't ask...Don't tell?"

Common wisdom in the last three presidential elections was that it takes at least two years to run for president.

This is hard to figure out. Either these guys are misunderestimating Obama and feel all they have to do is show up last minute OR they feel they really have no chance and don't want to waste the money it will take to do respectably.

I know one thing that might have affected the very recent decisions not to jump in is the killing of Bin Ladin. It gave Obama a huge bounce in the polls and probably added another month to the waiting game before the luster wears off The Prez. The way it is now there might not be a serious GOP debate on a top network for a month or more. Oh wait..there was a GOP debate of sorts... What happened? Crickets.... That's what happened.. NO NEWS COVERAGE!!

"T" thinks it is too early? By what standard? Last time we were already 6 months into the race.

My sense is that these morons will claim it is too early until it is really TOO LATE!!!

Obama is NOT unbeatable.

I agree 100%. Just not by the usual suspect clowns now available. It will take someone All of America respects with name recognition and experience. There is no one being mentioned right now that appeals to the public outside of the Fundamentalist base of the GOP. Throwing publicity whores the likes of a Palin into the ring won't even come close to getting it this time. You may very well disagree with Obamas policies as I do on some of them but NOW he has experience. As long as the "wisdom" of the GOP is generated in a self serving echo chamber they are doomed in the next presidential election.

As usual the GOP is out of touch with main stream America what with the Paul Ryans and putting energy into The Donald and now The Newtster.

I tell you what could swing momentum into a big bite out of the Dems chances and that would be getting off of the tax welfare program for the super rich. It is not needed and if the GOP got BOLD and changed course on that issue millions of fence sitting dems would seriously consider not voting for Obama. It would also enlist a feeling in the average American that the GOP is SERIOUS about reducing the deficit.

Unless the republicans pick someone horrid their canadate will have a good chance. If they pick someone good, the republicans will win.

I live in the United States of America. My rights, under the constitution, are granted by GOD not the government.

My constitution also did not give the federal government the authority to do anything like Obamacare.

Sorry dude, I know you like the universal care and big govt stuff but you are just in the wrong country, our constitution was written to prevent such reaches by government.

 

[JimH52]

Wow! I thought this thread was dead. Ron Paul is leading! Interesting...

You left out Larry Fein as an option.
