The problem is that the extreme elements and less extreme elements will have to agree on someone; and someone will have to convince the Koch brothers and their pals that you can't beat something with nothing!

the time period from 2000 to 2008, the BUSH years, they are pretending those years and the Bush admin never existed. Bringing in Jeb BUSH will bring those years back in full focus again and, remember, Bush left office with at 22% approval rating.

Nope, don't see them doing it.

I don't think he is slimy enough for the GOP at this point. They want someone like the racist Ron Paul, the batshitcrazy Michelle Bachmann, or the wife cheater Newt, or rain dance Rick Perry, or fetus fetish Rick Santorum.

so I just can't imagine them ever saying "Whoops, sorry we nominated that lying asshole." I guess they could try to spin it as "We were duped by a habitual liar." How would they ever recover from such a PR nightmare?

a good butt-kicking might get him removed from the scene permanently.

As it is, I figure Jeb has designs on a 2016 or 2020 bid. By then, the American people would regain their amnesia about things Bush.

I think there will be an attempt to challenge Romney's nomination at convention Inless party leaders believe Obama will win and
they are better off Romney being their sacrifical lamb while they spend more time on house and senate races.

Obama Is not going to let up on Romney.Bain wll be line of attack through the republican convention.At democratic convention
Romney's record as governor and his flipflopping will be next front In this war.

Romney thought this was a knife fight.Obama and his people planned for a gun fight.

Romney going on Non-fox news and the stupid retoactive retirement are signs these attacks are working.

Bill Maher I bet regrets he Is on vacation.

God I wish Keith Olberman was still on to see how he would be talking about this.
