You see any of them beating O, at this point?

Now you're rushing things...

nah.. just asking. Until 2-3 months ago I thought no way. He is gonna cruise right through this. Now... I'm not a certain.

If the Rs had one good candidate who would appeal to the American Middle (wihle still being acceptable to the extreme Rs, and there is the catch) Obama would be in for a heck of a fight.
Alas, the only R who fits that description (that I can see) is Mitch Mitchel, and he has already ruled it out (and if he changes that, he loses his appeal). The rest range from C minus to F. |

Cain isn't going anywhere. His 15 minutes are about up.
He is basically on a book selling tour. I wish him well. Heck post more about Paul, Bachmann & Huntsman. Why you only pickin' on Cain? :eyebrow: Now about that Fast & Furious ... Solyndra ... murder of an American citizen ... (channeling Merc) |
This post about Cain came because he is ahead of Romney in the polls.
Posts in this thread were: First - Perry Second - Romney Third - Cain Fourth - Paul Fifth - Perry Sixth - Romney Seventh - All the R's, including Bachman and Santorum Eighth - Cain And besides all that: At the 6.5 mark, I added Merc ! I'm open to suggestions... or feel free to join in . |

Huntsman is going to be a very valuable asset within an administration, but he has ZERO charisma. He just cannot get any traction.

Unfortunately, Huntsman will not be on the final ticket. I think he would have been a reasonable choice.

Geeeezzzz --- a :rainbo: :rainbo: :rainbo: of Dwellars ! But I've been scanning the news looking for what Huntsman is saying or doing in his campaign. Most articles that even mention him deal with the R-candidates' debate in Nevada, which he skipped. I found one article that talked about Huntsman, Perry, and Romney being more (statistically) likely to achieve the presidency because they are former governors... that way they no longer have to explain current problems in their state Has anyone seen substantive articles about Huntsman or his campaign ? . |
Aside from seeing him speak and his past, he has been completely ignored by the media - all of it.
|
CNN is reporting today his campaign is going broke.

By Charles Babington Associated Press / October 15, 2011 Romney's rise challenges tea party's clout in GOP Quote:
The worst thing you can find about Romney is that when traveling he puts his dog on the top of the car. The nest worst thing is that he is like a stone --- in stone soup. |
Herman Cain is making the news circuits and being asked about his campaign finances and support.
Cain has not yet mentioned the Koch brothers or Americans for Prosperity. Here's some background... Washington Post By Associated Press, Sunday, October*16, 6:54*AM Herman Cain’s deep ties to Koch brothers key to campaign Quote:
When asked on Meet The Press for a difference between himself and Romney, Cain responded: "... He's a Wall Street candidate, I'm more of a Main Street candidate." Cain was on the Board of Directors from 1992, and was Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank from 1995 to 1996. He later opposed a call for an audit of the Fed, which he now denies . |
Cain is a painful distraction. I don't see him as a viable candidate at all.
He sure seems to be a media created sensation all because of a catch-phrase. I wonder why they are giving him so much attention. |
Media coverage so far is superficial, only the 999 catch phase for taxes,
but nothing about the implications or Cain's longer visions. Just the sort of things that get votes. |
I've seen a little about Huntsman now. Best R I've seen yet in the current smorgasbord. Apart from being named after a spider, his main problem is the catch-22 of current republican party machinations, to wit:
Anyone centrist enough to be a plausible candidate in the general election is not extreme enough to get endorsed by the party. |
There's an op ed in the NY Times calling his candidacy essentially over, just the wrong time for sensible...
|
That really suxors. I think he'd be a great VP choice.
To me, it looks like Romney will get the nod. Romney/Huntsman would be interesting, to say the least. |
[Fantasy] Mitchell/Huntsman [/Ticket]
|
Sorry, Google is not being of any help to me right now
Z or anyone... what is Mitchell's 1st name, or who is s/he ? |
Mitch Mitchell, current governor of New Jersey, straight talking, competent, very overweight, has ruled out running for president in 2012.
|
Z, something is wrong here.
Google doesn't show anything for a "Mitch Mitchell", except it comes closest to Mitch McConnel, (Republican -Majority Leader in Senate) whose name is Mitchell. Chris Christie does fit your description, and is current Gov of NJ. |
blinks ....
Erm, maybe that really was a fantasy, then ... Merkins, anyone, help? |
I'm sure I saw something about him on The Daily Show. He seemed a really credible character.
|
I think you mean Chris Christie.
There's also Mitch Daniels, but he doesn't fit the description very well. |
Bob Bobster?
Mark Markham? Jeff Jefferson? ;) I saw a bumper sticker, amongst some 'don't tread on me' and other stickers of that ilk, that read: Palin and Bachmann: the ultimate dream team. OMG! Srsly? |
TheCellar really is an reflection of the outside world.
We're just like the Repubicans... still searching for that perfect candidate ;) I lol at the idea that he only exists on the Daily Show. Sorry Z, I'm teasing. If it was Chris Christie, I can agree, he can made a good impression, and he really is rotund. |
Chris Christie! That was the one that was shown on Daily Show. The GOP just wasn't taking no for an answer.
Daily Show ran a segment called "No Means No" because they keep claiming things like 'Christie has definately left the door open'...say what? He sounded pretty frakking clear in that press conference ya just showed. I liked him. He seemed a sensible and dare I say it even approaching, well, a normal human being? |

Well, duh. He's a Republican. I don;t agree with his political views (from the bits I've read) on a lot of stuff. There are things in his record that i find repellent (a lot of the stuff around his work as a lobbyist, freezes on public housing etc) but then there's a lot that's admirable too. I think mostly I'd just find him refreshingly sensible for a republican candidate. Which is fucking bizarre really. Because time was it was the republicans you looked to for sensible, to the point of slightly dull, men who seemed as trustworthy with your money as the bankers did (remember that? Whn bankers were a byword for respectability and trustworthiness? :P) These days, the Republican race is like a freak show. Choose between out of touch, wealthy to the point of being alien, incredibly dull men (mostly) who've been forced to adopt crazy ass policy soundbites to make themselves show up on the fucking screen, or crazy-ass women (mostly) who seem to be sharing a collective brain cell when it comes to any kind of detailed understanding of anything (including their own constitution) but look good hoisting a gun. Christie seems a normal person. I don;t mean he seems like one of the guys, someone I cuold see myself having a drink with...but just a normal, intelligent, human who is pretty effective at his job. |
