2012 republican presidential nominee III: can romney get santorum out of his hair?

lol that must be where i read it first, whoops :)

Every time he opens his mouth on the subject of capitalism, he says what he sincerely believes

i mean, yeah

I'm finding it bizarre to watch multi-millionaire Gingrich attacking zillionaire Romney over tax returns featuring a 15% capital gains rate that Gingrich and the rest of the Republicans supposedly whole-heartedly endorse, if not want to make even lower,

Gingrich wants to abolish the capital gains tax altogether fwiw

Gingrich: Nixon was a wuss.

By 55-35 percent, more Americans express concern about the economic system favoring the wealthy than about overregulation fettering free enterprise

who the fuck are the 35 is my question

"If the court makes a fundamentally wrong decision, the president can in fact ignore it," said Gingrich to cheers.

He loves that word!

Perry is dropping out.

I just saw that! I am a little sad, I'm going to miss the lulz.

I still mourn the day Herman Cain dropped out :(

turns out santorum won iowa

First my heart, and now this ...

perry just said yesterday he wasnt dropping out before the sc vote lol

Cannot wait for a full behind the scenes story to come out. And I want a lot of shit talking about Erick Erickson to be part of it.

I would love to read a book about the republican race in general this year, it has been the goofiest thing I've ever witnessed.

neewt u r so strange http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/gingrich_profile_featuring_ex-wife_begets_question.php

Over at RedState -- and this isn't even Erickson!

Donate what you can to ensure that Gov. Perry isn’t left in debt when this is all over

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is like a great sitcom where the funniest cast members keep moving on to other projects, and you're eventually left with Archie Bunker's Place/Mitt Romney.

I think you're going to be left w/ Pulp Fiction in November, if only Obama would break out the Ezekiel quote.

to endorse gingrich!

not that it'll swing the race or anything but it's a pretty lol dick move

you mean bcz it finishes Newt?

The circumstances under which I write this are beyond horrible, I get it. It sucks that Gov. Perry is in this position. It sucks that the people of IA, NH, and now SC, have ignored the record of an outstanding governor and true blue conservative. It sucks that people have relied on shallow criteria for selecting a nominee.

shallow criteria like "ability to remember platform"

"cogent articulation of opinions"

"demonstrable problem-solving ability"

there's something sorta tragic about the whole perry story, like he was the kid picked to stand up to the bully at school and on his way up to challenge him he trips on his shoelace and breaks his arm. in front of the girl he likes. (the girl he likes is america.)

ha

"not starting international incident with NATO ally"

I honestly thought he was a lock because 'too stupid for the GOP' didn't really make sense as a concept. but it exists!

I'm not too sure the America likes is a girl or boy if you know what I mean (nudge nudge).

Honestly I thought he had a good chance due to his general corruption and the weakened campaign finance laws.

I thought he might have a chance until I found out ppl in Texas thought he was dumber than W

Be sure to check out the commenters on that RedState link. The ones with tears in their eyes are my favorites.

man I am getting in all of my schadenfreude while I can

Remember we still have a SantorumQuits.png to come.

Most of those saddened Perry supporters seem to be moving on to their #2 -- Gingrich, not Santorum. Seems to me they might prefer Rick, but what do I know?

Oh joy!:

I’m told reliably that Governor Perry will head up a 10th Amendment project for Speaker Gingrich to rally Governors and state legislators toward a plan of devolving power from Washington. This project will include helping shape the Republican platform for the general election, something small government conservatives have been concerned about.

"Yes, go do your project, yes. Far away from me."

"I'm told reliably" - really?

It's Erickson, who has been happily shilling for Perry all this time -- it's likely true.

The link also says that Perry will campaign for Gingrich in Texas. I presume Newt is trolling. "You've made a fool of yourself nationally -- complete the job at home!"

I'm being a grammar dick

Telling someone something reliably isn't the same as being told something by a reliable source; the former actually means that you can count on being told something given some unspecified condition

speaking of schadenfreude, his exwife's interview could fatally damage Newty

it's more just a part of the big picture 'being newt gingrich has fatally damaged newt gingrich'
