GOP Primary Megathread!

[Admiral Yi]

Huntsman - 61%
Obama - 56%

I dislike quizzes and definitely am not going to one that's shyte, but I'm curious what questions you answered that pushed your Hunstman score above your Obama score.

That site seems annoying. I love quizzes but pass.

It's basically OKCupid for politics.

Every time I clicked on one of the questions, it had to load a new page and then I'd have to go to the next question. Quizzes that just go in order from question to question are better.

It doesn't say.

I'd guess a combo of moderate pro-life, liking Huntsman's tax plan and all its elements and thinking that while we should act on the environment I don't really care that much.

He's not gonna be seen as a "New England Republican" when this is all over. He'll be seen as a Republican. And favorite son status isn't what it used to be- Gore would have been President if he had won Tennessee; he didn't. Also, Minnesota hasn't gone Republican since Nixon.

I would be shocked if Romney won Massachusetts.  Even though a former governor, this state is very hard to win for Republican President. Romney isn't all that popular, though as a more moderate Repub that works better for him here.  The state voted for Reagan though, so it could happen though if certain circumstances happen like an ever worsening economy. And Romney would have to be seen quite a good alternative to Obama, which will take a lot to have happen here.

Yeah I don't remember him as beloved.

http://electnext.com/questions tells me I 'm best matched with Huntsman, seeing as how we both love long walks on the beach, farm dogs, and the color orange. A couple of percentage points behind him apparently is Obama.

Yay?

*shrug*  I got Obama then Huntsman, although Huntsman was 20 points back.

Here is my current projection of the electoral map if the economy stagnates or declines through to November.

Lololololololol.  Fuck it, just give 'em California and New York, if you're gonna be this implausible.

[katmai]

Yeah Phil is smoking some serious good dope if he thinks that is plausible.

[Razgovory]

I guess he really believes everything the Republicans say.

[citizen k]

You can go ahead and color in Washington and Oregon blue, that's a given.

Gingrich's latest attack ad is about Romney's dog in 1983?

[Sheilbh]

That is the single biggest reason I dislike Romney...

[Razgovory]

What did the Dog do.

[CountDeMoney]

Gingrich's latest attack ad is about Romney's dog in 1983?

This is a two-fold issue;  additional proof that Mitt Romney is a soulless Vulcan, and it's well known that Gingrich has always been an animal advocate.
