If you compromise and vote for any of these...you'll be a 'sucker' and have another 4 years of misery! That's where America is NOW...for getting 'suckered' by a con-man 3 years ago.
Why don't you write Palin in? I know she is your preferred choice (for whatever reason I cannot fathom), just like I'm writing in Paul if he doesn't win the nomination?

I was already VERY dubious of Palin, but when she stalled us all...right up to the end, and I saw how she seemed to be 'milking' her 'rock-star' ignorant fans (fanatics) ...I COMPLETELY turned off to her.

She, like Newt...had some good ideas, but like Newt....hey, like ALL of the horrible candidates....I WOULD NOT SUPPORT HER FOR Dog-catcher!'

She is now in a bad reputation situation. '0' credibility!

Ahhh huh. Well, in any case, do what I do. Write in Paul or write in Mickey Mouse or whomever catches your fancy or vote 3rd party. I'm not voting for any R that isn't Paul. In the general election, I'm voting 3rd party or writing in Paul

the biggest problem anyone who chooses not to vote R or D is: most ballots do not have a place to write in a name, everything is either electronic or punch board style.

I am with you there. And if Moose Mamma debated the very slick Obama.........wow, that would be horrifying.

Newt has more baggage than the Jolie-Pitt brood when traveling; I don't think he could pass the character test. Poor Romney will have to deal with the beliefs some Christians hold regarding the LDS being a cult...plus, his health care bill in Mass. was very similar to "Obamacare." It's going to be an uphill struggle for any of the current candidates. Colin Powell and Jeb Bush might have made good presidents, but the Bush years ruined both of their chances. IMHO, the evangelicals won't accept Ron Paul, either. It's going to be interesting to watch it play out.

How about something more than snark and innuendo?
