You know, early on, I thought the R Debates were a good opportunity to get conservative thought into the spotlight amidst all of the Obama drivel we've been subjected to since 2008. Now I must say that I am simply embarrassed and disheartened by the likes of Perry and Cain and Co. CNN is right to say recently that no one with intelligence wants to run given the dumb-downed, money-making circus the Prez Election has become.
I like Newt...as a professor. He has at least part of a brain and can form some decent arguments. But he isn't going to win a thing. The Left is jumping for joy with every passing "report" that he is leading in the polls while I think many Republicans are just waiting for him to fvck up like Cain and disappear. Perry and Bachmann need to take a hike as well. Romney has no hope due to his religion, inconsistent flip-flop nature, and liberalism.
And even if Paul wins every single state primary from Iowa to South Carolina to New Hampshire, the media will find a way to make sure it appears he's a ghost. Otherwise, he is the most principled (and arguably smartest) threat to both the R and D political and corporate establishments.
Who is left? Huntsman? For me, he kind of fits somewhere between Romney and Paul in some way. Not a bad choice but he isn't going anywhere either. But I would at least like him to remain on the debate circuit.
Face it, they are mostly a crop of losers destined to re-elect the Communist in Chief: someone who will piss away the next four years this country doesn't have to spare. And the worst part is that Obama won't have to lift a finger; the Republicans will just knock each other down so much that they'll become unelectable before the real game starts.
So, who else can still enter the game and save the day at this point?
(Not Palin!)
Condi Rice?
