In that case, you probably do not know what the hell you are talking about and your opinion would be meaningless.

Which is it?
Oh snap!

I think he's the best hope they have. Perry would lose to Obama. People want slightly right of moderate right now.

You seem to be discounting the Independents who will vote for anyone except Obama.

I don't see Christie saddled with any healthcare type albatross like Romney. Christie has got involved with a few private business. Such as Atlantic City and the Xanadu project in the Meadowlands. Chrisite has showed a willingness to work with the other side of the isle and that will help his credibility with independants.

Yep, and with that he could knock Romney out of the race.

LOL, pommysmommy. Indys will not vote TP in large enough numbers, add in Ponzi scheme means Florida is lost to GOP, and volla, GOP is well on their way to earning a loss in '12 that only an idiotic party could manage to lose. If MR wins and runs a moderate campaign which TP will hate, he wins in 12 in a rout.

And just as many who are not willing to give the clown in chief four more years to destroy the country.

"And just as many who are not willing to give the clown in chief four more years to destroy the country."

DUH, a draw on indys leaves 2 factions. Democrats and Republicans, with the latter sverely outnumbered. (FYI: GOP historically needs at least a plus 5 independent margin to win presidency.)

I agree that BO needs to go, but why chance it with a polarizing figure like Perry?

Granted I haven't seen him a whole lot myself, but I liked how he handled Irene. I didn't get what you're saying here in any way from those press conferences.

Don't blame me, I wanted Mitch Daniels to run.

Paul Ryan will be President some day, but it's too early for him.
