re: #213 Petero1818

so this is how the field shapes up.

Bachman- really crazy, homophobic, bible thumper
Santorum - crazy, bible thumper
Huntsman - smart, centrist, but weak. A VP maybe. Not a President in my view
Gingrich -narcissistic asshole and morally bankrupt
Perry - crazy, bible thumper with little grasp of reality
Romney - opportunistic and morally bankrupt, moderate at heart, but will sell his soul to the highest bidder
Paul - Crazy, smart, crazy, possibly senile, did I mention crazy?

How bad does the economy have to be for Obama to lose to someone in this lot?

Really, the candidate field boils down to Gingrich & Romney. Crazy Uncle Paul may do better next year than in past runs, but he’s not going to be anything higher than third place. The rest of the candidates are, at this point, fighting over who avoids taking home the “Last Place” trophy.
