"SNIP.....................................



(can't cut and paste but they say he is just trying to make more money by keeping interest alive)

1. I would also think that many on the right, but not the far right, want somebody

else in the race who can divide the far right vote in the primaries.

2. living off the grifting of the faithful seems to be a career path

for republican lesser lights. Palin, Gingrich, Santorum, Guiliani et alia seem to live begging for money based on what they might do.

They should all get their own corner in a major city in their state and join others.

8. A friend calls the likes of them, "Money Moths".

They really have little chance of doing anything greater in life after falling off their highest perch, so they flit around whatever bag of money they can find like moths to a flame.

[Warren DeMontague]

3. ...because he could really use the exercise?

[think]

4. Newt was the master of milking it.

But the Huxter appears to be no slouch at pandering either.....

5. His radio show failed

His radio show was not renewed and so he needs something to stir up interest

7. Thought he has a TV show.

10. A Fox News TV show and a radio show

The radio show was just canceled

6. Huckabuck has sold his soul to the money changers

9. Watching him and Santorum go at it

for the fundie vote will be extremely funny. The whole Rethuglican race for 2016 will be a popcorn-intensive event, as not a damned one of them have a snowball's chance in hell of being elected.

11. I'm waiting for who of Rand Paul or Ted Cruz will win out for the libertarians. They will

then be way ahead of the pack as Christie, Bush, Rubio, Ryan et all split the vote.

13. Just like Christine O'Donnell in Delaware

She ran for the Senate 3 times in something like 5 years. It was her only source of income.
