Yes or if he’s not, he should be. Lawrence O’Donnell of MSNBC was certain Tim would unite all aspects of the GOP and emerge as the nominee. Then he dropped out after Bachmann won the straw poll. And since then she’s fallen. Perry has risen and fallen. Herman rose and fell. Newt made a comeback. Paul has risen some. Don’t understand what is wrong with Santorum in the Iowa GOP voters’ eyes.
Oh yeah!!! I was going to mention the Bill O’Reilly way of betting as well. He makes a lot of bets, but most of them are “if you’re wrong you give $5,000 to my charities, if I’m wrong I’ll give $5,000 to your charities”.
.I believe he was campaigning for Romney the other day. The thing with Pawlenty is, he wanted to start out as a top tier candidate. That almost happened. Then, he saw it wasn’t going to so he backed out rather than becoming an after thought “also ran” that no one noticed and trying to slowly get attention back.
I do not agree at all, Obama can’t make out like he is on par with low or middle income families, he bought his house in Chicago for $1.6 million dollars. He is a multi millionaire. The Obama’s tax returns from 2010 show they had an income of $1.7 million dollars in 2010.
Exactly.I agree. I don’t think it is a campaign killer. Do people really think that voters weren’t aware that Romney could afford a $10,000 bet? Really?
It is the same silly assumption that Roy5 keeps making about Gingrich’s account at Tiffany.
The voting public knows these guys are rich…including Obama. What they are looking for is someone to fix our ailing economy.
I think Tim Pawlenty was BORING. I have to think about what he looks like. (Can’t even remember what he looks like - that’s not good.) I do remember what Christie looks like, because of his size (his BMI’s easily satirized on SNL) - when our nation has a big obesity problem, he’s probably not the best guy to put forward. Santorum’s problem? You can’t Google him without getting porn. That’s a huge problem. I just really wonder why all the people who were so rah-rah for Sarah Palin have thrown Sarah Bachmann under the bus - I hope once (if) Romney secures the nomination, he’ll give the VP to Bachmann if not Huntsman, because Obama’s re-election is as guaranteed as a Best Picture Oscar win for Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris.”
I like Bachmann, but she’s no Palin in my book. Bachmann would make a good tax policy adviser or something.
Exactly. She’s a former tax attorney (attorneys go to law school and study the law) and she has been to the Middle East. She’s also the only GOP nominee who, from what I gather, believes in the notion of, quote unquote, “SSA,” which is a hot topic for so many CAF’s. She also has the most children - fostered, adopted, whatever - so she’s the most credible “pro-life” candidate among the bunch. **Yeah, she’s no Palin **- thank goodness.
As far as the SSA, the children and all that I’m sure here and Palin are on the same page so that’s a pointless argument.Exactly.

Aside from the state’s meth problem and the bridge to nowhere, you mean?

Well I have to agree Pawlenty was not the most charismatic character. I’ve never googled Santorum. What I don’t understand is since this is a Republican year and anyone can beat Obama, why others didn’t decide to enter the race.
Not something I take lightly either. He has a long history of anti-Semitic remarks. Jewish columnists and spokesmen frequently mention his anti-Semitic attitude. Further his support for Iran doing what they wish with regard to nuclear weapons when Iran has stated that it (among other Islamic countries) will blow Israel off the face of the earth leads me to count him out completely as a serious Presidential candidate.
Always good to have a back up plan.

Here apparently was Rick Perry’s take on Romney’s offer to bet him $10,000. " I was taken a little aback" by Mitt Romney’s wager, Perry said on Fox News Sunday, Politico reports. “Driving out to the station this morning I’m pretty sure I didn’t drive by a house that anyone in Iowa would think a $10,000 bet was possible. It was a little out of touch with the normal Iowa citizen.”
