It looks like it will be either Bachmann, Perry, or Romney; is anyone else decidedly unenthused?
Question
Ron Paul will hang in there for a while, but we must be realistic about his chances. Pawlenty is decomposing. Jon Huntsman is dead in the water.
With Obama looking increasingly like Jimmy Carter, it looks like time for a Reagan to ride to the rescue by taking not just the GOP base, but the independent votes and whatever the “Reagan Democrats” this time will be. Somehow, neither of these candidates seems to have that type of appeal. Romney is a wishy-washy wonk. Perry talks a good game but can’t back it up. Bachmann–no, just no.
Can anyone better please come to the fore?
WWFUUJD, I really like Ron Paul and this he has many good ideas. I’d love to see him take up the Treasury portfolio in the next government and play a role in the reform of the financial system. However motivated his many supporters are, wishful thinking does not win elections, though. With the present field, I’m likely to vote for him in the primaries, but I doubt he has appeal enough to win.

You’re kidding yourself if you think Ron Paul hasn’t got a chance.

You can cross Bachmann off.
Even the Republican pundits are discounting her “victory” today.

Vote for Jon Huntsman. His state, Utah, was FIRST in job creation, Utah reached unemployment levels of 2.2%, and it was named by Pew Research Center “The Best Managed State in America”.

Perry’s “miracle” is based on lies and propaganda.
Answered by Wyett M
I just can’t get over how someone wants to secede from America and then 3 years later wants to become president of it. That part of his record speaks volumes for what kind of patriot he is. And the fact that he spends millions of dollars a year to give health care to undocumented workers but than opposes Obama’s Health Care Plan that brings Health Care to all AMERICANS speaks to his hypocrisy.

I don’t think Bachmann will resonate with the voting public. Romney died last week with his “Corporations are people my friend” gaff. Perry will not stand scrutiny as people look at his flip flops as governor of Texas and his involvement with the Gore Campaign.
thinking bout the people you mention i think any of them would be better then Obamy in fact i would vote for anyone but him. i am an independent and his lies tell me what he is. hope he gets trounced if he runs again.
I am very unenthused. Maybe Sarah Palin will come to the Rescue as she told Newsweek “I Can Win!”
No wonder Obama won last time.
Why can’t the Republicans come up with someone who is not totally bought off?
Please, don’t attack me because you know it’s true.
The Democrats are better at acting like (You see I said acting) they are concerned with all that Union Money Backing them
Support those claims if you want to be believed. Although I doubt that you can support more than a few for obvious reasons.
I really don’t think anyone can make private industry hire if it doesn’t see the need.
Huntsman is a decent candidate, but he won’t make a ripple in the extremist state of the Republican party.
As to the rest, I have relatives in Texas, they snort when they hear Perry’s name they think he’s a phony.
Hey, stop making fun of perry, what did you expect from a man that got almost all Ds in college, including intro to economics (the only economics class he took)
I’ll take Huntsman over Perry any day. In fact, if the GOP will give this independent voter John Huntsman as their candidate then the GOP will get my vote in 2012. If they nominate Perry (Bush II) then I will be forced to vote against Perry even if that means voting for a failed president like Obama.
Sounds like the place where the best can thrive and the poor get what they deserve for making rotten choices that keep them poor.
~The above was an ad for Jon Huntsman for President.
Just kidding. But it should be.
Great facts, I’m not used to seeing those around here.
the average salary of the new jobs created is over $ 15 per hous
You need to realize when looking at your statistics that there is a very large population of illegal and legal latinos in the State with little or no understanding of English
You are not going to get stellar marks in eduaction because of that.
most of your other statements are outright lies. No wonder you have no references in your rant.
But compared to Obama stats , perry is a true miracle worker
1 . 9.1% unemployment 9 16% true unemployed counting all the people who ran out of benefits
2. lied about Gitmo
3. lied about transparent govt (health care)
4 Worse race relations in 40 years( not bringing people together as promised.
5 Out spent all presidents in past 100 years
6. More would be felons and tax cheats working in his cabinet then ever.
7 . etc
Statistics mean nothing without context.
The vast majority of your numbers can be accounted for simply by the high number of recent immigrants living in Texas. Perry has been soft on illegal immigration, but there is not much a governor can do when the federal government refuses to enforce immigration law and prohibits the states from doing it themselves. Perry has some problems, I don’t care for his crony capitalism and pay to play politics, but don’t start insulting Texas. Every state has it’s own unique problems so numbers can never tell the whole story. And by the way, spending more money on stuff does not automatically make it better. Dead last in spending sounds like a good thing to me. Obama is number one in spending money and that doesn’t make him great.
