Republican Nomination for President

[Pepe_Silvia]

Huntsman endorsing Romney.

Really?

I've lost a lot of respect for Huntsman. Endorsing Romney shows his true colors.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

I knew Huntsman would eventually endorse Romney. I'm still disappointed by the endorsement though.

 

[VOLatile]

Who else would he endorse?

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Who else would he endorse?

In reality, no one. They (politicians) almost always endorse who they believe will win, not who they are most like.

If Newt gets second place in SC, that just means that the GOP wants Obama out of office without any care or concern about who they replace him with. Because Newt sure as hell isn't going to be much different regarding spending and foreign affairs than Obama.

they are both mormon, they are both businessman, they both came from well off families, and they were both governors

True to a great extent. I also think Huntsman is positioning himself for his next job.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Romney should come out and say "Im selling everything, moving to all cash and USTs and focusing all efforts on the POTUS"

put an end on the BS

And other than Paul, the least socially conservative at least in terms of policy prescriptions.

I'm not sure I get what the big deal is either. It's blatantly obvious that everybody just wants to beat him in the head with it the second he releases it.

 

[volinbham]

It's the "scandal" of Romney - guy made money, pays his taxes as required by law and gives money to his church. Oh the shame.

 

[n_huffhines]

I'm so sick of the tax question.

 

[volfanjustin]

I'm so sick of the tax question.

So am I, I was getting so frustrated with that last night.

I hope you're trying to be funny. Politically, they are not alike.

Probably, but I don't believe he will be offered a VP spot. Another Ambassadorship? Maybe.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Sec of State

I don't understand this because the so called polls per the media show Newt taking off like a rocket, but him and Slick Rick Santorum can't draw a crowd? What's really going on?

CHARLESTON, S.C.—Newt Gingrich has cancelled a campaign appearance in South Carolina because of poor attendance.

I heard a reporter talking about this happening to Obama in 2008 also. I guess fatigue just sets in unless you're a Ron Paul supporter.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

It is pretty hard to get energized if you are selling re-hashed ideas or for protecting the status quo.

 

[Weezy]

Another year, another douchebag (Romney) and a turd sandwich (Obama).

Looks like only question is whether newt wins by double digits.

Odd that the front runner loses two of three to start. Obama folks have to be positively giddy at prospect of running against a guy that:

Was disgraced as speaker

Cheated on two wives as they were diagnosed with terrible diseases

Took a million-plus from freddie

Is an irascible know it all.

I'm not a fan but I don't think any of that is gonna stick. He's Putting it all out there 1st. Then he just says "That's old news" when it comes up. Maybe he has more skeletons in his closet, But I doubt it the way he has put every thing else out there.
The other spin He's using is genius. He puts it out there, someone asks about it, then He says "This is what I've learned from it."

Is it really that odd?

Hillary Clinton was inevitable in 2008 and we know how that turned out. Pretty sure that George W. Bush only won 1 of the first 3 in 2000. Half the country didn't even know who Bill Clinton was until Super Tuesday.

If that was what he does, ok, but it isn't. He just shouts down anyone with the temerity to ask.

Why do you think he keeps talking about debating Obama with no moderator?

He can't stand to be criticized.

no, it's that he can run intellectual circles around Obama
