Obama 2012. It's a lock. He doesn't even have to campaign. This is so sad.

They are a bunch of anti-gay haters. They are disgusting. Ron Paul wants marriages out of government, and only done in churches. So I guess being an atheist isn't allowed in GOP world, either.

The Muslim bashing, the gay bashing, and the religious self-rightousness makes me want to puke.

The ticket will be Romney - Pawlenty. You can already see it in the way Pawlenty has deferred to Romney, and Romney back to Pawlenty. Pawlenty is clearly running for VP.

The rest of them are clowns that need to get out of the public eye before they further ruin the party brand.

the state of the economy in august 2012 will have a lot more influence on the results of the election than anything else that occurs between now and then.

obama has the advantage of no intra-party challenge which means he's already tacking to the center while all the republican candidates have to tack right toward their motivated primary voters in iowa and new hampshire. no republican is getting the nomination without winning one of those.

but whomever the republican nominee is no ones going to care what nutty thing they said in june 2011 if the economy's still perceived to be in the tank.

if bachman wins iowa (a reasonable possibility) i think you'll see the g.o.p. establishment coalesce around romney. or whomever finishes a good second there.

bachman isn't electable in a depression and they know it. but pretty much any white male could beat obama if august 2012 doesn't look much better than june 2011.

Romney is skipping Iowa and going straight to NH. Bachmann will be there, Santorum, Cain, Paul, Gingrich.

Good point about the economy, but the financial plan of all of them tonight was cut corporate taxes to zero. Period. They all would have done no stimulus or TARP whatsoever, and let the auto companies go bankrupt. Then they bashed unions in another question.

They all just gave Michigan to Obama.

The audience looked to be completely asleep until the red meat social fireworks started.

I'm really interested in what the GOP can come up with for a platform this year. I don't know if they'll have a candidate that could match it.

not if michigan unemployment is north of 12%.

you and i will vote for obama pretty much regardless of whom the republicans nominate.

we differ in our evaluations of how tough this election will be. just because i'd vote for obama in a depression doesn't mean the rest of the country will.

outside of the occasional candidate self-destructing, the run up to the primaries is essentially background noise. you won't remember anything that was said here a year from now without looking it up on youtube.

does that mean your statement no longer applies:

'I am uncomfortable when threads such as this turn to mocking and reliance on perceptions of beauty to determine someone's worth.'

or would you wish to watch barbara mikulski and madeline albright engage in mud wrestling as well? somehow, i doubt it.

We do. I do have extreme faith in the education of voters in this country. It is most likely overly misplaced.
