GOP Primary Megathread!

Also I found out that Paul would not have launched the operation to kill Bin Laden.  In world where Paul was President Bin Laden would still be alive (well likely to be alive.  He could have gotten sick or something).

Oh God.  I am loving Santorum's attacks on Newt.  'Grandiosity has never been a problem for Newt...That is not a cogent thought...An idea a minute.  No discipline.'  And then attacks him on ethics.  Wonderful stuff and I think fiercely effective.

Hehe... Santorum is going for broke, to try and gain some ground. But Gingrich has been gaining in S. Carolina, the reports I've seen the last couple of days.

Oh Gingrich is brilliant and evil.  During the debate he's released his tax returns and put them online

After Romney's cowardice on the open marriage thing I don't know that he expected that.

I think Gingrich has gotten back more to his ideas and the ways that gained ground from him earlier, and moved away from the attacks which I were probably back firing on him some. That has to have helped him.

[Ideologue]

What is his foreign policy anyway?  I thought it could be summed up as "Neo-Isolationism".

He's opposed to the neoconservative-style "spread democracy" use of our armed forces.

I know.  What a fucking asshole.  The one God damned thing Republicans are good for, and he's not even good for that.

I don't know.  His polling's improved and Romney's has declined since he went on the attack (with the help of everyone else).

Romney leads Obama in 5 of 6 swing states

'Romney was tested against Obama in six states: Florida, Ohio, Nevada, New Mexico, Virginia and Wisconsin. Romney led in all but New Mexico, where the race was an exact tie.

Romney bested the president in Florida by 5 points, in Ohio by 7 points, in Nevada by 11 points, in Virginia by 3 points and in Wisconsin by a mere 1 percentage point.'

No rich white dude can beat this man, sorry:

No rich white dude can beat this man, sorry:

That's an odd stance. Not too long ago the opinion was that it was hard impossible to win the white house as an african-american and now it is impossible to derail the black guy who failed deliver on promised hope and change?

[Zoupa]

Yup.

[garbon]

Odd.

[Ideologue]

I suspect there are a few rich white dudes who could beat Obama, but none of them are Republican candidates.  Is Paul Krugman rich?  I'd vote for him.

I think Jon Corzine is the fellow you're looking for. 

[Berkut]

At least if Gingrich got the nomination, it would make it a really easy decision come voting time. What a fucking asshole.

I guess he's okay.  I mean, he's a Democrat.
