You are correct sir. I had this convo with Hugo. Huck would have appealed to the same faith based group without coming off like a moron. I firmly believe that ANYONE but Palin would have given McCain a better chance. Even as much as religious conservatives hate Giuliani he would have been better.

You are correct sir!

MSNBC initially reported it certainly came from only one place - Romney's mic. No one, anywhere else. It was big news on getbig, as well as all the boards, right when it happened. MSNBC confirmed they didn't give the answer, and then didn't touch the story again. Nobody else on stage was talking at the time. You do the math.

Then the story disappeared. Maybe there was a backdoor deal. Maybe NBC decided if it was a big deal, it would destroy their own credibility with catching such things. Who knows. He was elimitated from nominatino contention a week later on super tuesday.

4 guys I like to see in the mix for Pres & VP...Romney, Jindal, Huckabee, and Michael Steele.
Palin seems to be a good Alaskan gov. She is not the best suited for federal politics.

shootfighter1 · « **Reply #31 on:** January 26, 2009, 07:10:00 AM »

newt has got to be the most qualified...perhaps the most qualified person in either party, but he won't run.

Black guy, was LT Gov of Maryland.....very conservative...running for head of GOP.

Straw Man · « **Reply #34 on:** January 26, 2009, 07:42:29 AM »

Newt won't run because he's totally un-electable

no doubt he's smart and articulate but he's also political poison (and also a bit too much of a right wing wackjob)

headhuntersix · « **Reply #35 on:** January 26, 2009, 08:19:34 AM »

He can't run....

Huck?
Palin?
Rudy?

I think it'll be romney.

Jindal... I dunno.. I see him waiting for 2016. He's very young, and obama will look like a seasoned vet next to a 4-year president in obama.

The man is 37 years old today.

This means he'll be barely 40 when running against a gray obama, who will suddenly look presidential, wise, and who actually carries more mass than jindal does.

Will the majority of american voters 'change horses' mid-stream to this man? I don't see it.

Does anyone here really care about 2012 at this point.

Shouldn't we be more interested in what the current guy is going to do over the next 4 years and maybe give him a chance to pull us out of this death spiral that the Repugs have put us in with their totally failed policies.

Jindal is massive. Getbig endorsed!

I've seen a few of the far-right members already say "palin in 2012" lately

bigdumbbell · « **Reply #43 on:** January 26, 2009, 07:59:21 PM »

perhaps ron paul or another libertarian(liberal) republican

Palin w/ Joe the Plumber as her VP...or maybe Rush Limbaugh

I still think romney is the best choice, but would by far prefer Newt.

I still like Palin and think she could be a force if she focused on certain national issues she needs more experience in.

Really, I think we just need more moderate republicans in the senate and tip the majority so we can get Pelosi the hell out of there. I'll bet Obama would do a decent job with a republican controlled house & senate. We need to get far left and far right politicians out of washington. We have too many far lefties right now...there is no balance.

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #47 on:** January 27, 2009, 07:11:55 AM »

Who is on the "far right" in the Senate that is causing problems?

shootfighter1 · « **Reply #48 on:** January 27, 2009, 07:39:36 AM »

I was making a general statement. We hear so little from senate republicans (outside of John boehner) lately that I couldn't even answer that question!
Point is that the gov is far too liberal now and really needs better balance.

Soul Crusher · « **Reply #49 on:** January 27, 2009, 07:55:11 AM »

We are only one week in!!!!

If the GOP plays it right and Pelosi and Obama keep coming out with edicts, orders, and think they are rulers, 1994 is going to look like nothing and hopefully Pelosi will be ousted.

She is such a disgrace.
