— Ace On the plus side: Probably good ratings. So anyone, like me, who is holding out for someone other than Mitt and Newt, can at least hope there'll be one last chance.
On the negative side: Doesn't Donald Trump keep saying he may still run for president? Isn't he also meeting with candidates for the purposes of endorsing one of them?
I don't believe that Donald Trump believes in objectivity. I think he has a pretty high opinion of Donald Trump, and objectivity would take us further from the preferred realm of Trumpicity, so I figure this is going to be largely like the boardroom from The Apprentice, with Trump basically making demands of the would-be presidential apprentices.
Still. Big ratings.
Donald Trump is pairing up with Newsmax, the conservative magazine and news Web site, to moderate a presidential debate in Des Moines on Dec. 27.“Our readers and the grass roots really love Trump,” said Christopher Ruddy, chief executive of Newsmax Media. “They may not agree with
him on everything, but they don’t see him as owned by the Washington establishment, the media establishment.”Mr. Trump’s role in the debate, which will be broadcast on the cable network Ion Television, is sure to be one of the more memorable moments in a primary season that has already delivered its fair share of circus-like spectacle.
Ion? The channel I watch for Psych marathons? They're a news network now, too?

From Politico:
“Dallas real-estate magnate Harlan Crow has given $130,000 in the past decade to help Texas Gov. Rick Perry win his elections. But Mr. Crow opened the doors to his Dallas mansion for one of three large fund-raisers in Texas Thursday for Mr. Perry's archrival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.”
"In August, there was a good deal of interest in Gov. Perry, and less enthusiasm for the other candidates," Mr. Crow said. "But that has shifted. Many folks who supported him are now reconsidering."
This is going to leave a mark.

Repealing a ban on women drivers in Saudi Arabia would result in ‘no more virgins’, the country’s religious council has warned.
A ‘scientific’ report claims relaxing the ban would also see more Saudis – both men and women – turn to homosexuality and pornography.
The startling conclusions were drawn by Muslim scholars at the Majlis al-IftaÂ’ al-AÂ’ala, Saudi ArabiaÂ’s highest religious council, working in conjunction with Kamal Subhi, a former professor at the King Fahd University.

That would be awesome. They could have a different "Product Number" for each of the candidates, and you could call in to say which one you wanted to "buy" during the debate.

Riddle me this, Ratman;
If Trump is such a genius business guru, how the fuck did he lose his ass owning a casino? Shit, semi-literate mobsters made nothing but millions off of them.

@9: "the RNC is FAILING when it comes to organizing debates and providing a good platform for the Republican candidates to shine."
You're assuming our goal is to organize the debates and provide a good platform. We don't really care all that much. You rubes donate to us no matter what we do, and the Dems are happy to keep us in the government as minority whipping boys, so we keep access to that money, too. Win/win, baby - and we don't have to do shit.

If only they'd make a difference...
I keep hoping that Perry will somehow pull it out, but I get more and more despondent every day. I can talk up Newt all day long (he's better than Mitt)- but, deep down, I know he's just another Big Government, Let Washington Fix It (even though Washington broke it), not-quite-Conservative Republican.

Nice ad.
He did very well in his Leno interview. After good-naturedly putting up with a lot of ribbing from Leno and doing a good job of not taking the bait on smacking Cain, he spoke about his tax plan, part-time Congress idea, etc. I've lost the link I had that went directly to the interview, but it's linked to here at RightScoop.
