Thought about it....he is articulate enough to grab the mic and explain himself. The debates would offer that opportunity. Of course it is not an all or nothing thing for me. I'm not a blind, rabid supporter. I just love his mic skills.

his response to one of Obama's speeches was an unmitigated disaster.

Missed that one....did he ask a paralyzed guy to stand up...did he say he had been to all 57 states...or did he just give'em the ole Dean growl?

it should have been the last time a republican gave a response seated in a room with only a camera. The next response to an Obama speech was given by Virginia's Bob McDonald, it was done before a session of the VA legislature, and it was a dynamite speech, almost as raucous as something you'd see in the British parliament.

Sadly, the GOP never seems to learn, and responses have all been canned, remote studio productions.

Actually Jinhdal rehabilitated his imagine with the whole BP situation but he was flavor of the month nationally.

I really don't think Louisiana is all that in love with him. Maybe not for one big reason, but a bunch of small ones (his lack of focus on the state, oil spill -the berms, budget reform, etc..).

Edit: After reading up, I would say they like him. I guess you only hear about people when they ***** about 'em.

Rubio and a side of fries for me please.

I've heard a lot of good things about Rubio, he has
some pretty good support.

Howsomeever, today I read that he joined Lieberman,
McLame and Graham in support of Obama's endorsement
of the 'transitional' government in Libya.

My respect for him went south like the last goose
of winter.

As for Rick Perry, for one, I don't particularly think
speaking to a La Raza get together makes me like him
so much and I've heard from Texans who says he puts
up a good front but is bogus as a three dollar bill.

I would like to see Bachman and Palin get fair
consideration but we know this isn't going to happen
in today's world.

For instance, here are excerpts from a statement from
Bill Maher today:

"Now, I’m not saying that sexism doesn’t exist and
isn’t real. And we can’t, but we can’t throw around
the word “sexist” just to stop people like me from
pointing out that Michele Bachmann, now running
second for the Republican presidential nomination,
isn’t a dangerous nincompoop.

And when I point out that Sarah Palin is a vainglorious
braggart, a liar, a whiner, a professional victim, a scold,
a know-it-all, a chiseler, a bully who sells patriotism
like a pimp, and the leader of a strange family of inbred
weirdos straight out of “The Hills Have Eyes,” that’s not
sexist. I’m saying it because it’s true, not because it’s
true of a woman."

It would be nice if we could get a legitimately fiscally responsible, small government, socially liberal guy in the White House.

I thought he got high marks or at least decent marks for the BP stuff - him and that guy from some parrish that was on TV virtually every night.

I actually voted for Paul in the last election just on principle. While he kind of fits, I just couldn't get myself to vote for Guiliani. I don't know, too goofy or something.

I liked that Guiliani is a law and order guy but is socially moderate. My concern with the pure libertarian approach is that law and order may suffer.

I still can't believe how bad a campaign he ran in 08.

Ron Paul? -- of course you get the extreme small govt approach.

Huntsman? -- somewhat fits the bill

I still would have taken Rudy Guiliani

Just don't think Paul can get the nomination. Even if he were taken seriously by the GOP voters in terms of fiscal discipline and started to really emerge as viable candidate in that regard, the sniping he would take on social issues and on defense as well would just be overwhelming.

You don;t have to be a Christian fundamentalist to be the Republican nominee. But if you affirmatively go out of your way to dis what they stand for on social issues, then you have no chance.


Huntsman is interesting. But I still wonder if a Mormon can actually win the Republican nomination. Guess we will find out, though, with Romney.

In what way?

Not sure that libertarians are the most aggressive enforcers of law and order unless it's enforcing laws the favor individual rights.

I would imagine there is libertarian split on issues like immigration.

Part of the libertarian view is greatly limited government power - government power is required for aggressive law and order enforcement.
