It's a game Mittens' supporters are winning to make him an early winner.

Yeah, I don't know if it's any more circus-like than last time. There were quite a few poll leaders then, too.

Thompson, Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain, they all led in the national polls during 2007.

Iowa will shake a few out of the race... New Hampshire will probably claim another one or two. By Super Tuesday the all-but-certain nominee will be out there, most likely.

Do you really think that these guys were as off the wall and nutty as the current crop of clowns?

Why should Republicans care what Democrats think of their candidates?

Because they have to beat a democratic candidate? Perhaps?

Why should the opinions of people who vote for Democrats matter?

Why do you care who Republicans nominate, since you don't vote for them?

I'll grant you that Michelle Bachmann and Rick Perry are setting some new standards in... well, I'm not sure in what, precisely, but in something...

On the other hand... Rudy "noun-verb-9/11" Giuliani... Grandpa Fred... Huckabee's nostalgic recollections of cooking squirrel in a popcorn-popper in the dorms back in college... and:


They were an interesting bunch!

I already know who they are going to nominate.

Why do you go on a forum full of Democrats if you don't care what they think?

Smack down!!!
