Well after the debate it's clear the gimmicks in the republican nomination race are slowly fading to "nothingness."
I just wish they would "****", and stop showing up to debates.
Bachmann - The Hypocrite, seems like she has hit her ceiling and falling fast..She's done.
Ron Paul- The Conspiracy Theorists Favorite, and according many of his supporters the only one not part of the "NWO", or "Illuminati." Basically Ignored and invisible, and is also done. Thankfully this will probably be his last attempt.
Sarah Palin- Never Officially in it, never showed in a debate. She will no doubt continue to be a side show, and steal attention from legit candidates, luckily people seem to be finally realizing this lady is a attention *****. I'm sure she will come out with a new book, or make some outrageously stupid statement to get back on TV soon.
Gary Johnson -- New but still...OH PLEASE
Newt Gingrich - He's Done has no shot. Maybe will be in somebodies cabinet, but I seriously doubt despite what some of the others said, anybody would pick him as Vice President.
Jon Huntsmans and Hermain Cain most likely done, I would not be surprised if one of these two catch fire. Those 2 are my "sleeper picks"
I see Huntsman being someones VP most likely. Probably perfect for some independents and moderates.
I do like how Cain speaks his mind.
I just hoping the people who KNOW they can not win would just hurry and get out of the race.
I had one complaint/concern, it still seems the republicans are having issues with diversity issues. I could not watch ALL of the debate, but from the camera shots, foxnews focus group, and what I believe was the crowd at the debate there really was not a lot of diversity..
In my opinion (well it may be a fact), the days of winning with just one demographic group may be long gone. That being said I doubt it's much that the republican party can do about that. There's a old saying
"you can take the person to the water but you can't make him drink it."
Also when I say Diversity, I'm not only talking Race, but also Age. The point of being on youtube was to try to reach that younger voter, college voters etc. Many Younger Voters are typically not Fox Viewers so that's already may be a turn off, and some Republican Policies or Proposals, Statements, may turn them away from the republican party more.
I believe the Far Right Tea Party already did some damage.
I Believe that could be a huge challenge for the Republicans.
This Race is Clearly between Romney, and Perry. It basically sums the 2 sides of the republican party.
Romney seems to be more of a Moderate.
Perry seems to be more Far Right. (Supported By the Tea Party).
In my opinion, If Republicans don't concentrate on Moderate Voters, they are screwed and doomed to bitching about the mess we got in the Whitehouse right now and for the next 4 years.
People "cheer" about Obama BAd Approval Numbers, but forget about Congresses Historically Horrid Approval Numbers. So there probably be turnover ...AGAIN in 2012, or close to it.

Just My Thoughts.. As Usual
What "diversity" were you looking for? I saw a shapes and sizes of people in the audience. All we care about is diversity of opinion, not ethnicity.

Well I guess I should have explained that part more. In my opinion Republicans are having a issue gaining support from different ethnicity.
Just judging by the crowd that I saw, they are having a issue getting younger people to listen, as well as other races.
There seems to be a lack of caring.
If only White People Over 40-50 is going to vote republican that candidate probably will not win. If only one demographic is willing to listen I believe that's a fail campaign. To me it just seemed to a old crowd atleast in my opinion.
Like I wrote in my OP maybe that not a fault of republicans, I just believe it could be a challenge that they may face.

Again my opinion as usual.
Blacks are only 12% of the population and I saw plenty in the few crowd shots that were displayed. Most of the front seats were probably reserved for delegates or big donors.
I always find it interesting when the libs decide to tell us who the good republicans are.

What makes you think I'm liberal?
Is it because I have different views in this "free" country?
Or is it something else? Tell me
Still waiting on an explanation, on why you believe I'm liberal.
I hope you aren't one of those who like to "post and run" for lil meaningless rep points.
