Would McCoy be McCrory? The guy who called Charlotte the capital of the state he governs and whose one big issue he touts is how he cut unemployment benefits solely so he could officially have more people not count against his unemployment numbers? Yeah...why?

Well I'd certainly be interested in another Biden/Palin debate. She's a buffoon that keeps getting invited back to *serious* political talk shows no matter how much she fucks up. It's like if Dick Morris was a woman.

There's probably no better way to ensure that history records the size of your penis, than to casually show it to a variety of politicians.

I have to wonder if this deluge of 2016 GOP candidates has anything to do with Citizens United shifting the power balance towards the moneyed men, etc. and creating a bizarre hybrid of the modern primary system and the conventional politicking of days past. Who's up for 1924 DNC: This Time, It's Republican

I think there is a lot of remorse that they'd sat the "winnable" 2012 out and don't want to be caught flatfooted again. Remember though, 2012's weak cycle was not the rule historically. There have been strong cycles and weak cycles as far back as modern primaries go. I don't think we'll have as many "qualified" candidates this cycle as we had, for example, in 2008 for the Democrats or even Republicans.

No Kasich or Haslam on that New Hampshire list, which is good. Tougher outs for Hillary than most of their hopefuls. FMguru posted:She's clearly running for the VP slot under the argument that hey you can't just send up a ticket of two well-fed white dudes against the first woman candidate for President, you gotta have some gender diversity on the ticket, just think of the optics. Ya reckon she's dumb enough to think they'd pick her over Martinez or Haley? Probably just a publicity campaign to maintain her public profile for california-related ambitions.

Bolton should be Miss Adleson 2016. He could stay in that race forever and dazzle the nation with the long shag haircut and frosted mustache combo. Then you pair him up with Ben Carson as a running mate and sit back and watch the world burn.

It'll have been 15 years since he was a mediocre-at-best Virginia Governor and the last I heard his name was when Mark Warner trounced him in 2008. He ran for President in 2008 too! Speaking of which, sad to see that Thompson isn't thinking of another run.

FlamingLiberal posted:Fred Thompson made it pretty clear in 2008 that he was just running because other people gave him money. He didn't seem to care much about campaigning. I mean as a Senator the guy was notorious for rarely working. I thought he just ran as a favor to McCain to keep Huck from winning South Carolina.

Mitt Romney's people throw some shade at Jeb Bush.quote:His time as governor was quite a while ago. quote:A substantial number of Republicans have never heard him deliver a speech. Mitt is a proven commodity Nice to see the Romney messaging team has lost none of its demonstrated deftness. The GOP race is like all of three days old and I'm already loving it.
