But his statements regarding how he will run a “mainly internet” campaign make me think that he isn’t going to be running as hard as McCain, Giuliani, or Romney.
Also, the longer he waits to announce, the more entrenched the other candidates become, and the harder it will be for him to do much of anything.
Thompson is a grassroots kind of guy, but he lacks the executive experience–and energy–necessary to pull off a win in a crowded GOP primary. I think he’s running for veep.
Haners, did you see that Iowa poll that had Romney crushing both Rudy and McCain? I just love this. Romney will soon enough emerge as the consensus candidate to the shock and awe of the left wing blogosphere *cough* *cough* and the media. The conservative world will unite behind Romney’s clear stances on defeating the Jihadists, protecting and strengthening the American family and traditional family values, and making government work more efficiently for the people. When you’ve got a hot war and a culture war to win, the church at which Mitt worships probably doesn’t matter as much to evangelical voters as much as the left would think–and hope.
his self destruct mode again as in 2000. And, his spiral started with his full endorsement of the proposed immigration amnesty program. I think you will see his numbers just keep dropping. Write it down.
He does seem to like purposely going at cross purposes to the GOP primary voters. The GOP definitely has a very weird lineup right now.
Guliani – waaaayyy too liberal for most GOP primary voters. But they think he is their best change to win in November.
McCain – the annointed next president and that counts for a lot in the GOP. But he is not clicking.
Romney – both very liberal in Mass and a Mormon (and that matters to a lot of GOP primary voters).
This is what has the GOP so confused – it isn’t clear which of these will win. Democrats have a mess like that but not Republicans. They aren’t used to a real primary.
Definitely makes it fun to watch.
And I’m stoked. The money he’s spent is paying off. I wouldn’t write off McCain or Giuliani just yet (though I’m close with McCain), but if Romney keeps this up, he’ll be sitting pretty for sure. Thompson would make a great choice for V.P. whether or not he gets in….
I hope Mitt’s religion doesn’t make a difference with a lot of people, and if it’s a Romney/Clinton contest, I doubt it will
Do people seriously think that Hillary Clinton can move key swing states? Do people honestly believe that Hillary can compete in red states like Colorado and Florida? Not a chance!
Obama can make things close in Nevada and Ohio–but he’s going to have to hold Minnesota, Michigan, and New Hampshire. Romney is VERY popular in NH and Michigan and if Pawlenty is nominated for vp that will put Minnesota in play.
Edwards would have been the most viable candidate if he wouldn’t have veered so far left. Had he moved right from the get-go he could have been a contendah.
Richardson scares me. I would guess that he could win Ohio, Colorado, and New Mexico and mail the rest of ’em in.
But let’s be honest with ourselves–Hillary is going to win the nomination. She just is. She’s been resilient in the polls, she’s the establishment candidate, and she’s disciplined enough to stay on top. And in a tough, conservative state like Colorado there’s just no way Hillary can turn it blue. Richardson can. Hillary cannot. For me, that’s why I’m terribly optimistic.
in the field. At least if we look at her husband’s presidency and go on the assumption that she’ll run things much the same way. At this point there’s no reason to think she won’t. That will persuade a lot of fiscal conservatives to go for her should she win the Democratic nomination. (Since we have no crystal ball there’s no reason to declare nominees now.) The GOP has no credibility on that issue now, which may well be detrimental for decades to come.
So we’ll have to see if there are any social wedge issues to help the GOP candidate. My prediction is that there won’t be one significant enough to overcome the current public distaste for the scandal-ridden GOP – not unless the Democratic controlled Congress blows it.
…but I agree with your analysis. Hillary is a liberal no matter how you slice it. But that alone may not be a deal-killer. I mean, John Kerry did, after all, get 48% of the vote, didn’t he?
Listen, I think it’s gonna be a thriller. I think Colorado stays red. But Ohio and New Mexico look poised to go blue and that would be a crusher. I’m just excited. A little nervous. But excited.
She’s more fiscally conservative than any of the other Dems (again, going by her husband’s record) – and that would make her more conservative than W in that regard.
Glad we could discuss things civilly for a change. 🙂
To discuss things civilly…..
Ohio could go blue, because I think they’re tired of Republicans….after Taft cut the knees out from underneath the party, which we saw in 08.
New Mexico is another bellweather state so if it goes blue….get used to the phrase “Mrs. President” and “first husband Bill Clinton”.
I have a lot of hope for any of the top three being strong in the general election. Obviously I’m a Romney man, but with the exception of say….Gingrich I don’t really see myself not being able to support the nominee
McCain might be as conservative but those two are clearly the most fiscally responsible candidates.
As to Bush – Dennis Kucinnich would be more fiscally conservative than Bush. Bush has been the most fiscally irresponsible president in our history by far.
attempting to give it voice and credibility, when, in fact, it’s the most horrendous preface to one of the most horrendous, lawless, and murderous policies ever unleashed on an innocent people.
SHAME ON YOU.
Did you not see the interviews? He has been asked that question twice, and flatly refused the VP.
Sheesh you lefties are so funny in your ignorance.
And FYI, Mid June.
OC: Did you not see the interviews? He has been asked that question twice, and flatly refused the VP.
And when push comes to shove, he will tell people that he was made an offer he couldn’t refuse….
Just about every recent vice president has said they weren’t interested in the job at one point or another. I wouldn’t believe it at all…..
Mid June.
Thats what I hear.

Thanks for the link!
With Thompson you’ll get the tough guy image Rudy projects along with the right wing positions on social issues.
It’s anyone’s guess who finishes first and who comes in second vis-a-vis Thompson vs. Giuliani (my guess is Thompson comes out on top). But this pushes McCain into third place and Mitt into fourth.
