1. 4 are currently running right now, per Rachel Maddow |
|
There was Cain (Uncle ruckus), a guy who wants gay rights, the former Democratic governor of Louisiana called Roemer (he was the crook in the infamous crook vs racist Governor race), and the boring guy with a fake accent (Pawlentay). The other big names- well they're not exactly flocking to the starting line at the moment. Gingrich doesn't know what he's gonna do. The website idea was stupid. Palin and Huckabee like that FOX News money too much to go through a grinding campaign. Romney is sunk because of Health Care and losing to McInsane. Barbour won't run for president because everybody thinks he looks like the bad mayor from the Dukes of Hazard. The MLK shit didn't help. Santorum, well no one knows him. Jindal has taken himself out. And Bachmann is nuts.

2. I think it likely that Bachmann will run. |
|
Romney, up in the air at this point, but I don't see how he doesn't.
Santorum? My guess he will run too, but will go down in flames early.
Don't think Barbour or Huckabee will run.
Palin's a definite in my book.
I can't wait until the debates, when the crazy really comes out.

6. Huckabee, Romney, Pawlenty, Rand Paul |
|
I personally don't think sarah will run - she'll hedge the issue as long as she can, collecting money from her sheep and then decide her family needs her (right before the time when she has to report where her money comes from and what she does with it).

7. Pawlenty, Romney, Gingrich, Barbour. I wish Huckabee and Palin would but I don't see it |
|
happening. And if Gingrich, Huckabee and Palin don't run I am going to be really bummed.

Bachmann, Gingrich, Pawlenty, Rand Paul, Daniels. Huckabee and Palin won't give up their good paying day jobs with FAUX. Romney, possible, but has trouble with the base, and Trump I'd give about a 60% shot at him going for it, his ego is really that out of control. (think Ghaddaffi with a bad toupay).

10. Pawlenty, Gingrich, Romney, and Palin |
|
Gingrich has not chance and no one really is out there pushing him. But, he is among the most egocentric people in the world and he likely sees the Presidency as something he is uniquely qualified for. He seems to think that his past is sufficiently in the past - and he likely sees taht this might be the last time he won't be too old.
Romney clearly sees this as his last chance and - like John Edwards in 2008 thinks he came far closer to winning the last time than he really did. He also may see that the economy and jobs, not foreign policy is the key issue - an assumption I think is wrong - both will be very important.
Palin will run because if she doesn't, someone else will take her spotlight - and she lives for that light.
Pawlenty is boring, but it is clear that he is running. He may win by default as the others implode.

11. And they all should have to take a history test |
|
Using text books from Texas. I am serious. You should NEVER be allowed to run for ANY high office with a low IQ. Call it National Security. Because that is what it IS. Can't be a lawyer if you didn't go to school, can't be a doctor, cop, military, nurse, contractor, real estate salesperson. But Senate, Congress, President, no problem.

I'm leaning more Palin---but I hear Bachmann, and maybe Gingrich.

14. My guess would be both Gingrich's and both Palins since both have two faces, |
|
those would be the four I think might try to steal the Presidency with help from FOX GOP,Republicon Chamber of Commerce and the Koch Klan Korporation. Lou
