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

all this applause is rather grating

needs more booing

haha mitt dies a lil every time gingrich says romneycare

mitt has not really improved much as a candidate. it seems like his changing position on abortion is just indefensible here

If santorum wasn't running for prez he would be physically hunting abortion doctors right

he would be the broncos 2nd string qb

Romney's "Maybe" on his taxes, after the question about his father, has to be one of his worst moments in the whole campaign.

can we get terrell suggs to moderate one of these

ron paul ballin so hard

i'm not saying that like suggs is a clown, he's really smart. also was just watching nfl network clip of him saying that trash talking new england was like the primaries

get Ernie, Kenny and Chuck, maybe

"a Saul Alinsky radical"

haha santorum is str8 goobin it

Just watched the clip of Gingrich going after King--wow. Not sure how he managed not to give a little wink and a smile halfway through, but A+ theatrics.

needs more booing

3rding this, 'Needs More Booing' is hilarious

I think it would be awesome if people still attended public speaking engagements with armfuls of rotten fruit and vegetables to throw. Assuming this has ever happened outside of cartoons.

I believe it was mostly vaudeville shows

Jay Nordlinger, counselor.

There is the female equivalent too: You slut around for as long as you can, while you can still excite lust in men, and then you stick to old Joe, or whoever the incumbent is.

It's not like I've never wanted to punch Nordlinger in the face before, but this is him at his most punchable.

I didn't find that so much loathesome as completely tedious

Very true, and here's the thing: American women are repulsed by American political leaders who ask their wife for an open marriage. And the ones who aren't are repulsed by all Republicans anyway.

great comment

Has anyone yet specifically delineated just where the mainstream media stops and the non-mainstream media begins? This is very important so I can discern hard truth from salacious fiction.

Cain said he was not endorsing a candidate, but instead, would endorse “we the people.”

ooo my god

Wait, can I vote for the preamble to the constitution for president? Is that in the constitution? It should be.

The comments on that Nordlinger piece are quite interesting.

As always w/NRO there's an ad-sponsored CAPTCHA bot filter you have to fill out in order to post. When I was just there it was Burberry. Instead of having any visual to decipher it simply read, "Describe this brand with any word(s)".

I was thinking of 'chav' but I went with 'sub-Aquascutum'.

OK, so if polls are to believed at all, are we really facing the prospect of Newt for the nom? The mind boggles.

"I am someone who believes in free enterprise, I think Adam Smith was right, and we're going to get hit hard by Barack Obama, but we're going to stuff it down his throat that it is capitalism and freedom that makes us strong."

xp no not even close.

newt still doesn't really have a path to victory but romney does have to 'work for it' a little more

you just gotta believe. i will be voting for prof newt in the gop primary. i urge everyone in a sate with an open primary to do the same.

there's no way Newt can win over his enemies in the party and secure the nom imho. but this is going to be a very interesting, even more prolonged battle if he wins SC.

don't try so hard, guys

Just based on the reactions on NRO and RedState, I have trouble seeing how Newt gets the nomination. He has far more enemies and more aggrieved ones in the GOP than Mittens does.

This process is all about jettisoning outliers, it's hardwired.

i still have trouble taking any of the candidates seriously. then again, it was the same way in 2008 and somehow 46% of voters ended up siding with mccain (????). and in 2004 i couldn't understand how anyone would vote for bush, even with kerry as the competition. the behavior of vast numbers of americans is completely mysterious to me

no, you're right. there's just no way it's anyone but Romney. but i want the lols to last as long as possible.

most of those 46% were gonna vote for the gop no matter who the candidate was and no matter what the situation was

yeah, and the same on the democratic side as well.

what a joke!

it's not really a joke it's just that the election mostly happens before the election happens
