1. There should be special category for Donald Trump
--People that want to run for President, but don't really want the job.

4. She has been planted in America's mind precisely for
that reason. Much like Zaphod Beeblebrox, she attracts all the attention (by design) while the corporate leaders continue to rob us blind.

14. That does seem to be his plan. Rake in the cash.
Raise his personal fortune. Pump up the personal profile.

9. I don't agree about Jebby.
I think the R's plan to run him in 2016. I don't think they're going to spend too much time or effort on 2012 unless by some miracle a great candidate emerges. They know it's too soon for another bush..but he's their guy of the future.

12. you just agreed with me
In 2012, none of the candidates running can beat Obama. Not even the establishment supported Chris Cristie or the tea party favorite of Palin and Paul joined together. Its a lost cause for 2012

13. I didn't think we were only talking about 2012.
I think Jeb and his son are both being groomed.

8. Sadly, I have to disagree
At least in regards to Mitt Romney. I think he may have a chance. He'll have a hard time appealing to a good part of the republican party (standard right wing Christians) due to his religion, but that doesn't mean he can't.

The others I think have no chance at all, though of them, I would say Ron Paul has enough popularity and support to win a fair number of votes - he does not have enough to actually win the nomination, let alone the Presidency.

11. They DO realize that they will never be president. They are doing what they do for money
and attention. :)
