The more Mitt talks the less I listen.
They have already decided the outcome of the next election by having this group as their candidates.
None of these guys in the end can beat O.
Th Republican field is pathetic and I am being very nice.
That party needs major surgery to have the TPers and Christian Coalition removed.
Let them become their own parties.

I don't agree. I think Romney can beat him. Not my first choice but..... If the NH caucus is any reflection of how people will vote, he has a pretty good chance.

Dare I ask who your first choice was among this group?

I don't like any of them in the whole, but I like little bits of all of them and larger bits that I don't like. As with most elections I will bite my tongue and vote for the best shitty candidate. (With the exception of the last election where I voted for neither person in the major two parties.)

Not telling eh? thats fine.
At this point, Huntsman would have been my first choice... if he only had some personality. :/

It is not a matter of "not telling", it is a point of fact that I like none of them but I would choose any of them over Obama.

What happened to Biff? Or Chip? Or Chauncey? Or Sumner?

Mitt. *blech ptoeey bleh* Sounds like a guy who would've been beat up a lot if he didn't have all that money. :lol:

Is that short for something?

:lol: He probably went to a private Mormon school with a bunch of other kids named Mitt, Kit, and Richy.

OH yeah, Kitty!

sidebar: Kitty was the name of the college president's wife where I went to school. We were in the student union for a screening of Animal House and when the scene where the wife of Dean Wormer wrecked into the fence or bush or whatever, I yelled "Kitty!" and the whole place fell over.

Hey, I was drunk, like Mrs Wormer. ;)

One of the best movies eva....

This is what led to the question ... Who is or was your first choice?

None of them. Why can't that be an acceptable answer to you?

I will not be boxed in.

5head is not my base.

Its fine - I inferred from your post
"Not my first choice but..."
that you had a first choice.

I have no first choice. I think they all suck to some degree. Anyone but Obama in 2012.

At last a candidate we can believe in...

Colbert for President: A Run or a Comedy Riff?

Quote:

Mr. Colbert, the Comedy Central television host,
has made jokes at the expense of super PACs for months
— forming his own group, soliciting money for it, then running an ad that featured Buddy Roemer,
a long-shot candidate who has criticized the Supreme Court decision that allows
the existence of the free-spending PACs so long as they do not explicitly coordinate with candidates.

On Thursday night’s “Colbert Report,” Mr. Colbert took it a big step further,
handing control of his group to his friend and fellow host Jon Stewart
so that he can legally run for president, or at least pretend to.
Mr. Colbert, who has comically flirted with — and mocked the possibility of
— runs for political office before, said he would form an “exploratory committee
for president of the United States of South Carolina.”
<snip>
“You cannot be a candidate and run a super PAC. That would be coordinating with yourself,”
Trevor Potter, Mr. Colbert’s lawyer and a former chairman
of the Federal Election Commission, told him on Thursday’s show.
But “you could have it run by somebody else,” even a friend or business partner, Mr. Potter said
— illuminating what critics say is an inappropriate loophole in the law.

So Mr. Colbert brought out Mr. Stewart, the host of “The Daily Show,”
who played along with the joke, saying, “I’d be honored to” help.
Sarcastically emphasizing that they would not coordinate Mr. Colbert’s real
or imagined presidential race with Mr. Stewart’s ad spending, Mr. Colbert said
“From now on, I will have to talk about my plans on my TV show.”
Mr. Stewart, whose show immediately precedes Mr. Colbert’s
at 11 p.m., shot back, “I don’t even know when it’s on.”

When Mr. Potter told the two comedians that “being business partners
does not count as coordination, legally,” there were groans of disgust
from some in the studio audience.<snip>
