Is there a potential Republican Candidate for Prez 2012 that anyone's excited about?

Oscar Wilde was incorrect and so are you, hipeter. Human nature is the same; Oscar's problem was to believe he was immune to his lover's father's power, and Louis believed that the mob would not touch him.

If the GOP in Congress refuses to work with the Pres while the economy recovers, we may see an easy BHO win in 2012 with narrow majorities for the GOP in the House and Senate. He will make them look silly as did WJC with the GOP in the 1990s.

You are banking on a nature of humanity you clearly fail to understand.
 
I think we may have a few hours before we have to decide,maybe even a day or two.But seriously I think the GOP will do much better then then the last choice and I will leave it at that.

how could anyone get excited about a viable presidential candidate? Once in office, they become institutionalized :P

Or get locked into dragging around the teleprompter even when giving a talk to third graders.
 
Sheesh, Rozman, you use it when you talk to yourself.
 
I guess we're 2 years away. That's a long time off. I'm trying to remember if I knew much about Bill Clinton in 1990. I guess not. I'm fairly sure that amongst the field of Pawlenty, Palin, Romney, Gingrich, Thune, Barbour, Jindal, there are no great candidates in the group. Perhaps I'm wrong, or maybe there's some darkhorse that will come along that I don't know about. I guess that's why I asked the question. I'm impressed with Kasich, Christie, and Rubio, but they're all new to the scene or at least won't be running in 2012. Romney and Palin have obvious strengths, but big weaknesses too. The others, I just don't see being strong enough. Am I missing something?

Republicans don't nominate darkhorses...it comes with being conservative

Pawlenty, Palin, Romney, Gingrich, Thune, Barbour, Jindal is about all you got

You will find your thread will die from this point on. Nobody from the right has anyone they will say they support. You will get "wait and see"....which means "We ain't got nobody"


I vote you give us your top 3 to win for Republicans... If you're wrong, you never post on political boards again. Put your money where your shit breath mouth is or stfu you fat bigot ****.
 
Since when do we need someone to be excited about?

Seriously, we are choosing our President. Our Leader. We need someone who has good leadership skills, is competant, and willing to follow the Constitution. And if it's someone who bores the hell out of us, why should that matter?

We seriously need to get away from this mentality of voting for people for such shallow reasons.
 
I'd laugh if Palin gets nomiated. Given the Tea party's primary power that could happen
 
Anyone who doubts that Palin can be nominated refuses to get the bias out of the way.

Rick Perry, he's doing an adequate job running Texas, he's pretty solidly conservative without going overboard, good looking, charismatic enough, etc.

I still love Sarah P, as she STILL represents most the best values of the GOP, and most middle class, average Americans. Self-made, self-paid, humble, cute, articulate, smarter than most think, wouldn't mind seeing her try @ V.P. again.

Other than them I dunno.

You conveniently omitted that wonderful quitting personality
:cuckoo:
 
No Republican Governor from Texas or anyone with the last name Bush will get elected President anytime soon.

Good luck if the GOP picks Palin. I'm somewhat Independent, but as of 2007, I was solidly in the court of any Democrat will do after Bush. Obama was my preference over Clinton for a lot of reasons. One of them is she could have unified the Republican Party like nobody else.

The opposite can be said for Palin in 2012. A whole bunch of people realize this already, which is why I think she has a minimal chance of being the nominee. She would unify the Democratic Party and most Independents unlike anyone else. If there was a Presidential election and it was Palin against Democrat X. The Democrat would win every time. 60+% of the country doesn't consider her a credible candidate. That won't change no matter how much the other 30-40% like her.

Your jealous of our articulate stateman Obama, and still infatuated with Bush making up new words. :lol: Try more drugs, only 6 more years to go.
 
So who gets the rightwinged VP Slot? Ann Coulter with brains, or Plain Palin with recipes on baking cookies?

As much as I love Sarah, and believe she's right on most issues, I'm objective enough to admit you're right. She also cost us the Senate, although I know that wasn't her intention. This is why I wanna see her as V.P. nominee again, while I believe her still unready for the Presidency, I still want her in the White House.

You may also be right bout Perry, but that's BS if true. Perry is showing himself to be more capable than GWB in almost every field, the baggage he'd have to deal with just cuz of the state he runs in unfair.
