re: #127 palomino

I’m not saying he’s a contender b/c of CNN; I hate them even more than Fox because they have no spine. I’m saying it because he polls well right now. And because the gop establishment likes him. And because he came in second in 2008 primaries, and the GOP has a long history of rewarding the next guy in place. And because he has presidential hair.

The shiny new object you’re promoting must have a name. If it’s Pawlenty, Pence, Barbour, Jindal or Daniels, think again. They may be new, but there’s nothing shiny about any of those guys.

Maybe you’re thinking of Christie, Rubio or McDonnell. They make more sense, but these guys are all as untested as Obama when he first ran. If Obama’s vulnerable, his relative youth and inexperience will be a factor. Will the country want to turn to someone even younger and less experienced? Also, none of these last three have a campaign operation in place, which Obama and Hillary and Edwards and McCain and of course Romney all had at this point in the game before 2008.

he polls well because he is offered on the poll… as opposed to newt, or mc cain or palin.
