Rick Perry announces candidacy, promises to go Godzilla on Washington DC

[웃 910]

$16 bucks, wow, Mr. Rockefeller that's really living cheaply. Box of Ritz crackers and a diet Coke or two is everything a growing boy needs.

I'm drinking an ice cold diet coke ATM Second one of the day + a hot chocolate in the morning + a bottle or two of water + a Red Stripe

----------------

But I am thinking of going on the starvation diet (hormones from pregnant womens urine and <1000 calories a day)

How did a thread on the next GOP nominee get so derailed?

And now its derailed to hormones made from pregnant womens urine

Why must everything be about Bachmann?

Bachmann will be slowly fading away so don't worry.

I doubt it will be that easy. I realize the big money boys from Texas want it to be that easy... but I don't think it will be.

Perry got the backing from the powers that be in the National GOP party. His financing is secured. He has the deal from the media in hand. He wouldn't have announced if he didn't.

Bachmann is not who the GOP want at all. The media will marginalize her even more now as they will start oohing and ahhing over Perry. Bachmann has supporters and she will still make a squeak but that is all she will do. She will not even be invited on the ticket as a V.P. Neither will Palin.

Bachmann is locked in with the Tea Partiers, and guaranteed a 20% share. As long as the field is flooded, she will be a rising star. Whether or not she can parlay that into a nomination is yet to be seen. Onto South Carolina, or whatever the next pre-Iowa Caucus event is.

Remember Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell?

And your boy Romney was done the day he gave Massachusetts the Health Connector.

I think the GOP is pushing Romney. They are looking to win an election, and the moderates will be the power brokers this time.

I heard something on cable TV about how the new GOP primary rules (instituted by Micheal Steele) give proportional representation, thus guaranteeing a long primary fight and giving underdogs more of a shot at staying competitive longer. Steele was a guest on the show I heard this on, and he said this is intended to avoid any more non-competitive primaries.

I'd be comfortable with President Romney. He isn't insane.

Good luck with that thinking. I am sure not even Obama the Socialist is that stupid to underestimate Perry because if he does he will lose the election to him. His party needs to start as of now taking him as the nominee. Perry has never lost and each time he is underestimated.

I want her to win, it might be fun.

Perry avoided the iowa Straw Poll because he didn't want to look bad. His campaign has started out slowly but will gradually die off.

They don't want Romney at all unless he is all they have and now that Perry is in they have who they want. Romney tried and failed once already and he is very boring and would lose to Obama the Socialist. They know this.

If Romney wins, the Republicans have a viable candidate, otherwise it's no go. I don't know if the Republicans have many moderates left in positions of power.
