Anyone heard of Buddy Roemer.

[Justice wanted]

I've seen what they said on Wiki BUT who is he really? What does he stand for and considering I've haven't seen many reports on him. Will he be the "Dark Horse" that end up emerging as the front runner?

1. Probably won't be "Dark Horse," but Rachel has featured him recently.

9. Really? Like Lindy Boggs?

He's not a kook, imo, and should not be dismissed. We do so at our own peril.

4. No, he'll end the night, i would assume in last place.

6. I think that would be Herman Cain. TPM have all 9 candidates on the front page ready to

put up the percentages. Roemer was someone I never heard of before and I'm shocked Cain is up.

7. Here's a picture ... he's part if the Justice League ...

8. I canvassed and voted for him for governor of Louisiana.

Before anyone jumps all over me, he was a Democrat at the time and was the only person who looked like they could unseat Edwin Edwards.

My only advice is that he should not be underestimated. He is very, very smart and a very good politician.

10. he'll soon be the frontrunner

we have to cycle through santorum (eeeww) first. then it will be his turn as the anti-romney.

11. That's what I was thinking. He'll be the next front runner just never heard of him before BUT I won

't be surprised if someone ends up winning the Repub Nom that wasn't expected.

12. He's interesting. Used to be a Dem. Said he might pick Lieberman as his VP.

I know THAT doesn't say much for him but at least he's not a friggin' fundie nutbagger.
