No I know. But man would it be hilarious if it came out she had herpes. I mean, I don't wish herpes on anyone but man...

Geographically, she's a Minnesotan. In every other way, we want nothing to do with her.

Even geographically is pretty iffy. I still think she'd need Mapquest to find her district, assuming using Mapquest isn't a sin for some reason.

I'll let Bachmann have her day to gloat though. Getting 1% more of the vote than Ron Paul is a pretty huge deal. I remember the time I ran for president and did that. Good times.

I wish she had herpes and got it from a female prostitute.

If the global economy goes further into the tank between now and election day, any challenger could be elected president. Perry has to be the big favorite -- he'll have whatever corporate money Romney doesn't get and the biggest share of theocon money will go to him as a better bet than Bachmann in the general. He'll also have all the Neocon and AIPAC presses running 24/7 churning out editorials about how his policies will restore America's greatness, defeat terrorism, cure cancer, whatever.

Bachmann has a dilemma: if they try to sneak her in by scripting her every public appearance like Palin after she made an ass of her self, then all the passion and connection is gone. If they turn her loose, she's going to say really stupid stuff because she doesn't even understand that it's stupid.

Perry-Bachmann seems like a great ticket. It lets Perry pivot to the center in the general and pretend he's a moderate, but still throws some slop to the social conservatives so they'll keep giving money. Then if elected he can govern like a dictator, like Dubya did; his backers support a unitary executive as long as its theirs.

Scary days, indeed.

I can't think of anyone worse than Perry getting elected. I could even stomach Romney over him.

Agreed. Bachmann is wacko...but we've seen her type around before. I have no idea what's going on in Perry's mind.

Also even after the Iowa poll, Bachmann is still an election long shot (Intrade=7%)...Perry not so (Intrade=38%). Continues to set up nicely for him.

Perry, Romney or (maybe) Cain are the only Reps who could win against Obama. The 2012 election is going to be all about the economy and none of the other Rep candidates can put up a strong enough economic front.

Obama looks beatable. Why are no popular Republicans willing to run for prez? (There are some; like Chris Christie for example)

Re: 2012 Elections Part I: All Politics is Yokel

Anybody who is looking to run but who is also an incumbent executive probably has the same problems of being stained by the bad economy. One would think the situation is tailor-made for somebody who has just been a personality, with no responsibilities, for the last few years, like Romney (doesn't seem to be catching), Newt (complete implosion), or the snowbilly (seems to have decided there's more money in just being an aging celebutante).

Re: 2012 Elections Part I: All Politics is Yokel

I'm slightly surprised the Bloomberg hasn't put real feelers out to see if he should run. I'd imagine he would be reasonably electable, although he'd have a hard time winning a primary in either party.

Kind of like Obama going into the last presidential election.

I doubt even Bloomberg has enough money to buy a national election the way he did in NYC.

Chris Christie? That dude that is one twinkie away from a coronary? Unless he lost about 200lbs he would lose Mondale-style.

Your trolling's not even amusing anymore. Congrats on being the first on my ignore list. Not even verybdog, nate, or hankWP made it that far.

It's possible there could be something of less concern to me than who's first on your ignore list (not too self-important are we?) but right off the top I can't think of what it would be. To make these announcements more dramatic, in future you might consider white smoke/black smoke. You libtards can dish it out. But you can't take it.

Re: 2012 Elections Part I: All Politics is Yokel

So let's see, it took twenty or thir...make that 2 days, for Perry to take the low road. This could be a record setting one way hostility fest as Obama rarely goes very negative. Perry has already suggested 'treason' of all things and indirectly threatened to treat O 'ugly'.

Perry warns of Fed treason

Texas Gov. Rick Perry turned his rhetorical fire on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke here Monday night, saying that the chairman would be committing a “treasonous” act by ordering the printing of more money and said doing so would amount to a political decision to help President Obama win reelection in 2012.

“If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what you all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas,” he said of the possibility of another round of so-called quantitative easing in the money

Dunno. I disagree with you on 99.7% of issues...but have more respect for you than many here. There's a difference between criticisms while debating issues and running for cover, hurling insults from the bush. At least, Pio debates toe to toe.
