I predict Romney wins and Huntsman takes second. Then I predict Romney wins the nod and selects Huntsman as his Vice.

Then I predict we get 4 more of Obama, cause the way it looks right now, we are cutting each other's own throat, and when the election comes, too many of us will be butt hurt about what happend to "our" candidates and either we stay home, or the media ceases on the talking point we created for them.

Obviously....I've lost hope....and I am mister negativity today, and if you don't like it....well then K.M.A.

Never like him. The Jerry Springer of politics. His Thanksgiving debate was repugnant.

Think about it....after the shit that's has been thrown around over the past couple of weeks you think Romney is gonna pick Gingrich? Paul? Perry?Santorum? as his runningmate. Hell No...It's gonna be Huntsman, and I'll tell you why.

Because it looks like to me, that Romney is running for moderate Democrats and Independents who already left Obama long ago. He is gambling that Conservatives are voting Republican regardless.......and he knows that Huntsman is who all the sissy Democrats and Independents want.

Hell he locks up a good number of disinfranchised Democrats a chunk of Independents....and he can't lose the general. The only problem for him now is, that he has to figure out how to win us back during the general.

You know how many Conservatives that is gonna piss off just in principle? Could backfire!

God I hate NorthEasters....you people suck! Especially you Romney!

It is more a wish than a prediction but Romney and Huntsman tie for first place. Just because.

How bad would it be if our comments about our favorite candidates were met with Miki Brzezinski eye rolls and exasperated sighs?  How depressing would it be if post after post were filled with conservatives spouting left wing distortions and mischaracterizations about the person we feel would be good for the country?

Yes, weÂ’re a lucky bunch. 

The Roman Catholic Church's hold over American catholics is virtually nonexistent. But the Mormon Church is incredibly top-down and controlling. Whether Romney is particularly devout is up to some question, though. I suspect most politicians are pretty much self-worshipers who give lip service to a religion only.

Hey now...I'm watching you, bub.

Posted by: Joffen, fucking sunshine patriot at January 10, 2012 07:28 PM (zLeKL)

YouÂ’reÂ…youÂ’reÂ…alive!

The way I read this at this point in time, is Huntsman is the only guy Romney can pick. He is not gonna pick a No-Name, and he sure isn't going to pick the other four.

The truth is that the Veep doesn't matter that much.  They just have to be plausible and not distract from the top of the ticket.  Actually adding to the ticket is a bonus but doesn't really matter that much.

So why wouldn't he pick one of the other four?  He won't pick Paul or Gingrich, but Perry or Santorum would be fine.  This campaign stuff is never quite as personal as it seems.

And what about Christie, Rubio, Jindal, Pawlenty, Haley, Paul Ryan, Daniels, Susana Martinez, Thune . . . is No Name?  They vary in their degree of name recognition but they're all plausible.  They're not nobodies.  And that doesn't even exhaust the list.

Here is the other thing!

If the media wants Huntsman...which they do....then how many people are actually going to know Huntsman is a Mormon as well?

Don't let the moderate Left fool you, many are just as scared of another 4 of Obama as us, but they just want to pretend they are gunning for Obama for the cocktail parties while pooping on Conservatives. They know better than anybody that Obama is killing the Democratic Party and they have got to get him out and stop the bleeding, they just aren't going to admit that in public.

The second part of my post that you didn't quote, about politicians being self serving and only nominally part of a religion.

They aren't No-Name to us, but to 99% of the country they are. Christie is out, so is Rubio, so is Ryan unless you beleive they were bluffing.

And I have seen the power puff attacks from Huntsman on Romney....I'm telling you, those two are not enemies of each other.

Nah, they had a new prophecy in the 70s that announced now blacks can get into heaven. LIke the earlier one that erased Joseph Smith's insistence that there were people living on the moon wearing puritan clothing.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at January 10, 2012 07:33 PM (r4wIV)

Mitt would need to fill the hole, so he needs someone with Tea Party credibility.  He needs someone from the south or Midwest and someone who is good on the attack.

He should get down and blow Rubio in an attempt to convince him to be VP, but failing that, there are others.

Joe Biden wasn't a household name.  Somehow Obama managed to stumble to victory.

Once the Veep gets picked, they *become* a household name.  Ever heard of Palin? Sarah Palin?

I am working from the position that Romney doesn't need Conservatives. He knows he is getting "X"% regardless. If you pay attention he is not campaigning to us, he campaigning to the Left of us, which means he may go even farther left during the general.

I don't believe support for Obama is as strong as many think.

Nah, it just means he's eager to move on to his next job and jumped the gun in picking a candidate he thought would be most likely to help him get out of Louisiana.

But...but he just got sworn in yesterday...

I hadn't realized before that the main problem with the McCain campaign was that he picked a nobody.

I thought the main problem was McCain.

And the economy.  Two main problems.  McCain, the economy, and the fact that he was running against a historic black guy. And the Bush legacy.  And . . .

Look, no serious political guys think that a VP has to have the level of name recognition that you think they do.  You're the only person I've ever heard this from.

You're also starting to get boring, so don't expect me to reply to your latest raving.

Do you really think he is hot for national office after that clusterfuck of a campaign? He is the biggest fish in Texas, but insignificant on the national stage, despite his excellent record. He will go back home and lick his wounds.

McCain got a big boost in the polls twice. The first was when Russia invaded Georgia and McCain instantly condemned it while Obama waffled around and muttered something about everyone getting along... and the second was when he picked Sarah Palin as his VP.

He actually was riding high when he went to Washington DC, suspending his campaign to do his job in congress about the financial melt down. He could have carried it to victory had he taken a strong stance and fought against TARP, using his position and seniority in congress to block it or at least fight to stop it. But he just went there and obeyed everyone else and showed no leadership. And his polling numbers cratered.

Because we still believe that women (and men too) have to be married to make it to the highest level of the highest heaven.  No change recently because there's been no change at all.  Not that this has anything to do with you saying that the Mormon leadership would tell Romney what to do in the White House.

How can anyone think you're remotely credible on any of this?  You're trying to tell me what I believe without knowing anything about the religion yourself, linking to any credible sources, or showing any signs at all of knowing what you're talking about.

So the media and late night, you know the people who actually dictate the campaign because average Americans are too stupid to really care and pay attention, made McCain the issue late in the campaign and not Palin?

Funny, because I don't recall seeing one McCain parody during the campaign. She did in fact help McCain in the beginning, but once she became the focus, and the media applied their craft, it became obvious all hope was lost.

Romney will take every single primary from here on out.  Mark my words.  Romney knows it, too, so he'll go even more centrist than he has already.

The RINO lovefest is about to begin.

I'm really hoping this election basically destroys the party system and people abandon the various parties en masse. The Founding Fathers were very clear about their opposition to party loyalty, they considered it damaging to liberty. And we've seen why.

Yes we know....who's the VP?

Ah yes, before your religion allowed me into Heaven.

Posted by: Average Black Guy

Heaven you were eligible for.  But you couldn't be a Mormon priest.  Pretty  much indefensible and wrong either way, though, so I'm not going to defend it.  If you really are a black guy, my apologies.

I believe in Mormonism, but we aren't perfect, and that was a bad one.

I suspect you're right, he's going to build his entire campaign around getting the media's version of the moderate to vote for him, while presuming the base will do what they're told. That worked so well for McCain...

Perry won't drop out until South Carolina is over, depending on the results. Or at least that is what he said. He will, if he leaves the race, endorse Santorum, IMO.

If Romney wins South Carolina, he will be the nominee.

And my 12th generation Southern Baptist self will vote for him. Anyone who doesn't will be in fact supporting Barak Obama's re election.

It doesn't really matter. Basically if you win the first two insignificant and meaningless states, specifically designed to stop any person with integrity out of office, then you're going to cruise unless you somehow blow up and lose Super Tuesday. The system is front loaded to get moderates and the richest candidates wins.

#445,

Yes, the Urim and Thummin.  Egyptian, not really, but other than that, yeah.  So what?  Why are you asking?  What does this have to do with anything?

Answer those questions convincingly and I'll answer whatever other odd questions you have.

446 I guess based on this thread I have to modify my statement. Most Mormons are really nice, decent people who make Christians look morally poor in comparison.

I love that technique.  Lie and smear Mormonism and if Mormons don't take it meekly, complain about what bad Christians we are. 

Jesus used that same technique.  No, wait, he didn't.

Bob McDonnell is the VP. I do like him. He's done great things for Va and can carry the now red but previously retard purple state.

What would you think of Romney (if he's the nominee) if he picked one of our young guns? Cantor, Rubio.. Ryan (if they would take it).  Help or hurt?  Or do you think he needs to go for the older guy who has been around the block a few times but nobody knows?  Or a woman (shudder)?  and I say shudder because of the anal exam Palin got, not because I am against a woman.  I mean, I AM one after all.

I'm hoping that the big push to get Tea Party folks in control of the party at the local level worked, because that will matter in the long run, but have smaller effect in the short run. It looks like the GOP elites in the beltway are going to win this contest, but the future? We'll see.

Dude is a study in egg shell white.

466 So explain to me again why Romney is not picking Huntsman as VP? If the Left like both Romney and Huntsman then they don't even need us.

Posted by: Stewie at January 10, 2012 08:17 PM (JMsOK)

Stewie,

In this world, there are dicks, pussies and assholes.  Sure, Romney is a dick, but heÂ’s no pussy.  The last thing he needs now is to pick an asshole. 

You're being too kind. That ape obviously has more intellect and humility

I will take back one thing, CT.  I don't actually know that you're lying.  You could just be certain about things that aren't so.

romney, paul and huntsman?.......what primary was this again?....

///good grief...

I have NO IDEA what the hell McCain was trying to do. Only dark suspicions...

Me neither.  The fuck.  "You have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency".  Oh yeah, asshole?  Fuck you McCain.  I never got it either.

I'll wait til he announces he wants to keep parts of Obamacare in place before I go off on his religion. Plenty of other things about Mittens I don't like, such as his lie that the individual mandate is a conservative principle.

McCain was running on a combination of inevitability mixed with his apparently almost religious fear of badmouthing or hurting fellow Senators. He seems to hold fellow Senators in an almost terrified awe, unwilling to do anything that might upset them or contradict them in any way.

Mitt's a miracle worker.  All hail the true Mormon Messiah.

Maybe he's undead.

Just watching Ann Romney introduce Mitt.

She certainly has a First Ladyish vibe going on.  Certainly much better than that Joker-mouth Callista.

"I have NO IDEA what the hell McCain was trying to do."

McCain is an admitted Progressive who admires Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wislon. Trust me...McCain was quite pleased with an Obama Presidency.

Please note: the McCain endorsement for Romney should make everyones ears perk up........it is not a good thing!

It has become obvious that McCain never really wanted to win in 2008.....it's almost as if it was a vanity play.

I think there are plenty of reasons for Tea Party folks to dislike Romney's politics that have nothing to do with capitalism. Its just as much as he annoys us, he's still better than 4 more years of President Obama who doesn't have to worry about reelection.

Billy Bob,

the Jesus I believe in is the God who was born of Mary, crucified for the sins of mankind, resurrected on the third day, and ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.  If you or the Catholic church thinks I'm lying, I honestly don't care.  Go peddle that stuff to a more interested or more credulous audience.

Delusional!

This is live TV.  Do you think Newt might run in yelling “Turn those machines back on!   I should have won!”

"Why Catholics do not believe Mormons are Christians."

Well, many Protestants have major issues with Catholics.

I'll let Willard worry about his relationship with Christ at the final Judgement. I'm more concerned about him, if elected, having the guts to make the cuts in Government that Perry would have done. Reform the f'n tax code, nuke two or three cabinet positions and organizations. Really reform Social Security and Medicare. Cut spending big time.

He can govern in the middle if elected. And get primaried big in 2016. Or he can actually try to do the things we need to happen.

It's up to Willard. If he is the nominee.

Posted by: lauren at January 10, 2012 08:32 PM (vqdNY)

If the alternative is a Huntsman surge, color me RINO.

Did Mitt's speechwriter just learn about alliteration?

Ooh, nice steal of Perry's Cut, Cap, and Balance slogan.

"that is such a serious charge for Savage to make."

Savage is more right than wrong usually. Although, there is a certain conspriacy Ron Paul vibe in the Savage world, which is weird. Newt working with Dems?....Possible, but unlikely, I think Newt is just really pissed off right now, and is throwing stuff up against the wall in desperation.

So its Mitt, eh? Unlike McCain, Mitt actually WANTS to win, so at least we have that.

" Bush was a Methodist, no edicts were issued."

Methodists are socially moderate heading liberal at a fast pace. They are now endorsing gay marriage.

Person, you can't. Only God can tell that. A group or organized religion however, you can. Religions get to decide who gets in and who doesn't, and if someone else comes along says "we've got a new book and you're all wrong, but we're still one of you." they're not.

"Fox News really does want Obama to stay in power, don't it?"

Of Course..........It is a business, is it not? If the Congress becomes Republican majority in the House and Senate with a Republican President, Fox will resemble MSNBC by this time in 2013.

Probably titled "Aw, fuckit, it's gonna be Romney?"

Billy Bob,

Mormons don't believe that seerstones have anything to do with salvation either.  Don't know where you are getting that from.  That's like saying that rectilinear instruments of torture constructed from natural materials are what Catholics believe saves them. 

This isn't the place for it, but if you want to debate this more, go the Junior Ganymede blog where I blog or the Mormon Dialogue forum

You see how he takes a whole bunch of words, strings them together and makes sentences?

Can you do something about your font settings?

Yeah it was groups like Methodists who pushed for the welfare state and prohibition; well meaning but using the government to try to establish moral behavior and good deeds, by force if necessary. Not all Methodists, mind you, but the Bush sort definitely.

He said that?

I could go with that.

We may need it in writing though.

In politics, if you're defending, you're losing.  Attack.  Always attack.  When you get attacked, counterattack, don't defend.  Defense is for losers.

" Not all Methodists, mind you, but the Bush sort definitely."

I would say a good press conference/good defense would be really good. McCain did it with some scandal in January 2008
