your screwd.

...when I saw him saying that crap. You can track his progress, as the primary goes on he just says crazier and crazier stuff.
I'm betting that they will haul him off the stage at the convention in a straitjacket. Maybe with one of those big hooks that stagehands used to use....

then, given the sorry state of the current Republican contenders, I will be convinced that the Republican Party fat cats have no real interest in winning this year's presidential election. The question then would be, why no real interest in winning?

They don't think they can field someone who can ACTUALLY beat Obama, so they are conceding his second term and saving their money for other down-ticket races.
I'm sure they are grooming and "educating" the 2016 candidate right now.

to Rmoney or whoever they have as the nominee. We need the House. We need the Senate.
We need Governor and state legislators.

who are likely to concur with Sanctimonium's contention that there is no more pressing issue than getting big government into the reproductive lives of women.

He is running for highly paid Fox news pundit.
He's got a sick kid, and a couple of others headed to college, after all.

It's really getting silly around here with people thinking he's actually serious.
He took notes while St. Rudy of 9/11 was "running" to increase his speaking fees, and has a great schtick for the rubes.

It will be over for him by tomorrow morning...

make no mistake, Casey had not beaten him in 2006, he would have been the R nominee in 2008, and MUCH stronger than McCain.

He would have not been as desperate as he is now, but the reason he has risen above the other non-Romney's is that he is strong with all three radical cores of the party - he is a raging neocon, he ran K street from the senate, so he is tight with big business, and he is obviously the religious right's dream.

He is smart, he is capable, and he absolutely thinks he was divined to be president.

He is not in office now, and lost his last election, and is the second strongest candidate in the R primary. Not too many people can be legitimate candidates without actually being in office and having lost their last elections.


He VERY MUCH was on track to make a real run in 08, and Bob Casey did the country a MAJOR service by taking him down.

He is indeed dangerous!

He is smart, tough, works harder than most any other candidate.

He has a physical presence and uses it, like LBJ, I would imagine.

He just is SO far to the right, he actually loses "moderate" republicans, and also, he REALLY believes the extreme religious stuff, which again, the party will give lip service to, but does not REALLY believe it like he does.

One thing that hurt him in PA. He backed Spector in 2004 against a primary challenge from Toomey - who is the ULTIMATE stealth party power broker favorite. He lost a lot of party support in his reelection in 2006. I don't think that is why he lost, I think he lost because he is SO far right, and also his ethics are blatently oriented around his own interests. But, a good chunk of the margin was the party throwing him under the bus.

VERY capable guy, but you have to be REALLY extreme to have the republican party be uncomfortable with your positions and ethics.

All they care about is turning the clock back to the Middle Ages.
