Political Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoSo who do you think will emerge as the front-runner for the GOP leading up to the next presidential election?
-
Either Tim Pawlenty, Huckabee, or Donald Trump. Out of all of them, if I had to pick one it’d be Pawlenty. Not quite as right-wing as the rest, but still suffering from a severe lack of principles.
-
I have no clue. From the first debate, I did not (personally) see anyone who I thought could really challenge Obama…which sucks, but there’s still time to figure it out.
-
I think they might put forward a Goldwater style candidate out of the primaries due to the Tea Party’s influence, which, as history as shown, would really only help Obama get re-elected. Jon Huntsman would be a great middle-ground choice, but he has pretty much no shot.
-
So did Trump just use the election as advertisement for his show? ‘Cause that would be a new low, right?
-
I doubt it. His show was getting high ratings long before his name was floating around on the list of potential GOP nominees.
-
So it was a serious stab at it? That might be worse.
-
I know right??! Especially since early polls were showing that he had some potential support from voters.

Part of me hopes it’s Romney since, as awful as he is, he seems like the sanest of the bunch. Part of me hopes the biggest whackaloon out of the bunch wins so Obama has no difficulty winning the general election. And who would that be – have Sarah Palin and/or Michelle Bachmann entered the race yet?

An interesting piece about the recent failure of the UK to vote for a new voting system called Alternative Vote (AV.) A good blog overall as well, it exposes the outright lies of the British tabloids. Seriously, lies. They just make up what they want, and get…[Read more]

The electoral commission refused to investigate the LibDems accusations of dishonesty which is aggravating because it was most likely the Con claims of the cost (using figures seemingly pulled from mid-air) and that it’ll help fringe parties (which is odd since the BNP lot voted ‘no’).
-
Yes, they faked the costs. I think they said it’d cost £250 million for the electronic voting machines that’d be needed, ignoring the fact that Australia doesn’t even use the damn things. And the BNP were actively against it. Ridiculous.
