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.

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

[TheMercenary]

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?

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>

Colbert sucks donkey dick. Just saying.... Although I do hope he enters the race as an Independent or a Demoncrat.

[monster]

For those who do have a dog in this fight, please remember to pick up after them.... if that's too nasty to contemplate, perhaps you should reconsider...

[Clodfobble]

I've never understood why you hate him more than Jon Stewart. It makes no sense.

Judge rejects Perry, GOP hopefuls for Va. ballot

U.S. District Judge John Gibney said in his ruling that Perry
-- along with GOP candidates Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman and Rick Santorum
who joined in the Texas governor's lawsuit -- waited too long to file
the complaint against the state's ballot requirements.

"They knew the rules in Virginia many months ago.
... In essence, they played the game, lost, and then complained that the rules were unfair,"
Gibney wrote.

Virginia is one of the big prizes among the primaries
being held March 6, on what is known as Super Tuesday.

And besides all that:
How can Obama lose with support like this...

The part you left off is the majority of Obama supporters can't afford a $45 T-shirt and she is only donating 1$ to Obama for every shirt sold, she is keeping the rest. She supports wealth redistribution....

Heck yeah!
