NPR seems to be applying their own limited vision to the race, instead of reporting. I awakened to the Iowa results and heard #s 1,2,4,5,6, and 7 listed. I don't know if Paul is supposed to get disappeared again or if someone missed the removed from blacklist memo. Then yesterday they were beating up the Tea Party folks for not voting their self-interest by looking for a small government candidate. They simply don't get that the TPer's and a lot of us frankly are still pissed about bailing out banks and businesses whose behaviors were about to be punished by the marketplace. Now instead of breaking up to big to fail businesses we will get further pretend regulation and will protect business from competition and build stagnation. We missed an opportunity to demolish some very corrupt business models but instead we subsidize them. At least we can still buy a Chevy Suburban.

Why Jon Huntsman has no prayer ...
Quote:
I was criticized last night by Governor Romney for putting my country first.
He criticized me for serving my country in China while he was out raising money.
Like my two sons who are serving in the United States Navy, I want to be very clear:
I will always put my country first.

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.

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.

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.

Is that short for something?
