Instead of threads titled __________ for president????? , how about we encapsulate all discussion here.

Current entrade odds for the GOP nomination are:

Perry: 31.9%
Romney: 31.5%
Hunstman: 7.5%
Bachmann: 7.1%
Pawlenty: 5.1%

I prefer threads that argue discrete information as opposed to mega-threads. They just get too clustered for me.

Vry srs. I also haven't kept up with the GOP nomination.

I did a quick look at Real Clear Politics, though, and it shows Romney in the lead. So, I'll retire on the GOP nod until 2012.

Perry is most likely to win it and probably has best shot at winning over Obama - if he'll stop hosting Billy Graham meetings and such.

Yes. He doesn't need to do anymore to appease that base. They will support him.

But yes, he's got an edge over Romney in the primaries

Langone Rounding Up Funds for Christie Presidential Run - FoxBusiness.com

How much does the business community want New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to be the next president of the United States?

So much so that a major financier has vowed to raise more than $200 million to help him win the Republican nomination and then unseat President Obama in the 2012 elections, the FOX Business Network has learned.

Financier Kenneth Langone has been telling people that he had commitments from as many as 15 people to raise as much as $15 million each for a 'Christie for President' effort, the FOX Business Network has learned.

Am I correct in saying Perry seems to have the exact opposite view of Obama on most issues? Interesting that he's pro-freedom, yet supports anti-homosexual laws.

I'm not sure who will win the GOP nomination, but I think Obama will be getting 4 more years.

Gonna be his achilles' heel. He's had some real doozies at those things. There will be a (well-founded) suspicion that he's a fundamentalist loon.

So there is a problem with someone expressing his sincere religious convictions?

It seems when we aren't discussing evangelical or conservative Christianity folks like you say that we should judge people based on their policies and official actions, right?

Muslim? Black liberation theology? Catholic? Humanist? Atheist? "You can't hold that against them... you have to judge on what they do".

Why does it bother so many of you when Christians publicly express their faith?

You have no leg to stand on considering Obama's long association with the radical ideas of Black Liberation Theology.

Wait... what happened to "judge not" there LG?

The problem is that, historically, Christian evangelical or fundamentalist types seem to have a hard time separating out their religious dogma from policy-making.

Don't want a fanatic of any type in the WH. Its bad enough they can isolate a district and get into the House of Representatives.

in his defense, Obama wasn't hosting the meetings or being a keynote speaker.

The stuff that should have ended Obama was his "career" and his political history.
