Looks like Obama will be running against Romney or Huckabee

[bigdarryl]

My money's on Romney because that's how the rethugs do things he lost in a close race to McCain and now it's his turn http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2010/02/good-numbers-for-romney.html

1. but but but he's a Mormon and that made the fundies against him last time.

Will there be a meshing of the religious right to get him nominated?

[elocs]

5. Millions of evangelicals and very religiously conservative Christians believe Mormonism is a cult,

one that corrupts Christianity and therefore is from Satan. They will not vote for a Mormon and the Republicans need every one of those votes they can get.

2. This message posted on PPP was hilarious:

IndependentAA said...

PPD, a Democratic polling agency trying to discourage Sarah and her fans? How nice. This poll is obviously a fraud aimed at making Palin look bad... Democrat are in an all out agenda to keep Palin away from the GOP nomination because they fear her charisma and potential. Mitt Romne has flip flopped so much that he makes John Kerry look honest.

Poor fans of Sarah cannot handle the fact that only the crazies like her.

3. PPP polling hate to say it is accurate(most of the time) they were dead on in Mass. Senate race

4. Yes, they seem accurate. Note the misspelling of the message as well.

Sarah Palin fans are not the brightest.

6. we fear her charisma and potential.

:rofl:

Just finished reading "Game Change." Right. The thing that struck me about Palin was not her divaness, or her peevishness, or her meanness or the fact that her first option was always to lie... we knew that already. It was her "learning" curve. She couldn't absorb information. She could memorize it, but since she didn't understand it, she got overwhelmed. So when they tried to prep her for debates, she shut down, put her head down, and refused to answer questions. FROM HER DEBATE TEAM. Unfuckingbelievable.

Yeah. We're terrified of The Sarah.

To the person who wrote that misspelled mess of a comment: you're a lunatic.

7. Great...

landslide victory for us! Thank you Republican party!

8. My suspicions pick Bayh as the dark horse as an independent

His withdrawal from Washington along with the millions in his political war chest is not as he would like us to believe. I think he believes the blue dog dems can pull support out of the tea baggers by offering a centrist movement united against all things Washington.

[saltpoint]

12. I think your suspicions are well-founded. Evan Bayh is an extraordinarily

ambitious political animal.

And as you point out, he has a buck or two saved up for a special project.

9. And the Wall Street money doesn't like Huckabee

[angelicwoman]

10. Politics is unpredictable. Few thought Obama and McCain would win their primaries at this point

Meaning over a year and a half before the Republican primaries.

11. Huckabee has a Willie Horton in his Closet

Romney was a venture capitalist that gobbled up companies, and carved them up. That probably will look back in this Republican gifted economic blackhole we are trying to climb out of.

13. The Dumond thing is th tip of the iceberg

Dumond's pardon came after lobbying by some hard-core screwballs in Northwest Arkansas, mainly a preacher/con artist named Jay Cole. Cole has ties to the militia movement and all sorts of other weird fringe types.

There's also a scandal involving Huckabee's handling of a new state computer system that reeks of incompetence and favoritism.
