How to classify the GOP’s potential candidates:
Edited on Fri May-13-11 02:41 PM by FSogol
I've struggled with how to classify the GOP freaks currently running or thinking of running for President. Here's what I came up with:

In the race only for the fund raising:
Palin, Gingrich, Trump, Paul

Too boring to win:
Pawlenty, Daniels, Romney, Paul, Huntsman

Too lazy or would run if someone else did all the work:
Huckabee, Palin, Daniels, Trump

Nothing better to do:
Cain, Johnson, Santorum, Huntsman

Ethically Challenged:
Gingrich, Santorum, Huckabee, Palin, Trump, Daniels, Bachmann (probably a safe bet to add Cain, Huntsman, Johnson, Pawlenty, and Paul, but not really sure.)

At odds with typical GOP ideas:
Romney, Johnson, Paul, Huntsman

Batshit Crazy
Santorum, Bachmann

I suppose the best classification will be:
Wrong for America:
Palin, Gingrich, Trump, Paul, Johnson, Huckabee, Daniels, Cain, Pawlenty, Huntsman, Bachmann

What or who did I miss? :shrug:

7. Most likely to think "AS SEEN ON TV" is a great campaign slogan: Bachman.

13. Oh, probably. She's been making squeaky noises about it for a while.
Then again, ALL of her noises are squeaky. She almost sounds as whiny as Eric "Mickey Mouse voice" Cantor.
