Well it seems I was a teensy little bit wrong now doesn't it? Seems like this Gingrich thng was real. But they're right, I think Gingrich has a better chance of beating Obama than Romney.

It almost seems like there's a conspiracy against Paul. Recently there's been a whole "Gee, both Romney and Gingrich kinda suck, let's have another look at Huntsman" thing. Which is fine as I like Huntsman but in terms of polling numbers, why would you go to Huntsman before you went to Paul?

I don't even know what GOP means. What does the trophy look like for the winner?

An economy sabotaged by the wealthy and ravaged by more and more weather disasters that couldn't have possibly been caused by global warming.

GOP stands for Greedy Old Pr*cks.  Wink

Romney came off like a total d**che with his 10,000 dollar bet.  Right up there with his comments months ago to a group of unemployed people that he felt their pain because he was unemployed too.  If I were a multi-millionaire, I'd be unemployed too.  By choice. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

As I keep saying Gingrich may be awkward and unlikeable but Romney is even more so. I think people on both sides are going to enjoy watching "Mr Sure Thing" slowly realise that he's lost the nom.

Have you noticed how Romney always looks like he's out of breath?  Like he just ran trying to catch a cab?  What the hell is with that, does he do the treadmill for an hour before interviews/debates?LOL

God, people are still talking about that? That was very clearly an awkward joke that didn't work very well, there's plenty of stuff for you to dislike about him without making sh*t up.

Not even close. If Newt somehow got the nomination (which I doubt) he will almost certainly flame out before the election. People don't want their president to be a tremendous a****le.

if you own a sodastream i hate you

At the beginning of the race, FiveThirtyEight pointed out that his downside was over 50%. Newt isn't likely to get the nom, but if he does, Obama looks like an easy favorite.

Forgot to mention, Diane Sawyer is the worst debate moderator I've even seen.  Pathetic journalsim.  Whiny, over dramatic nonsense, wrinkling her nose in disgust as she asks these nebulous questions injected with her own opinions via her body language and facial expressions.

I can only imagine her questions during the coming Prez debates....

(with a glowing smile) Mr. President, what did you and the girls do together over the summer?
(with a frown of contempt) Mr. Gingrich, why do you hate average Americans?

An exaggeration, fine.  Not by much.

Is it just me or does Diane reek of insincerity?  I do this Diane voice imitation that creeps out my wife.

The Full Party Flip-flop:
 
So, in summary: The foreign policy that won the Republican nomination in 2000 is the same foreign policy seen as "crazy", "dangerous", and "out of the mainstream" just 3 presidential elections later.


Time always wins.

I think the second question is a valid one.  Wink

But, the first one should be, Mr. President, why so wimpy when it comes to standing up to the right wing?

I won't argue your feelings about the questions, Doc.

Point was, she's not supposed to let her opinions come through so obviously.  She was about as subtle as Bill O Reilly.

Hey, since it has been reasonably resolved that it's not over, anyone want to offer speculations when it will be other than the obvious?
