OK 'fess up. Have the GOP primaries exceeded your expectations?

[denem]

Bachman, Cain, Perry, The King of Bain, Newtmentum, and as always, Ron Paul.

Oops.

[think]

1. The Colbert endorsement of Cain certainly has

[Pholus]

2. Yes! My local rethugs are pretty much demoralized, no matter who's left standing.

And that's what it's all about.

[JoePhilly]

21. I asked my tea party neighbor when he'll replace his "Nobama" bumber magnet with one that ...

supports one of the GOP candidates.

He can't answer the question.

Every time I see him I ask which GOP candidate he supports ... and he babbles incoherently.

For fun, I asked him which is a bigger threat to traditional marriage ... adultery, or same sex marriages ... I thought he'd have a stroke.

I'm loving this.

[Pholus]

23. There ya go. I think the clown show was needed to break through some of their programming.

My local friends are passing around the Newt: Family Values image.

You know. When you use the daughters of your first wife to try to discredit your second wife as she says bad things about your third.

To me, that represents a small bit of hope.

[JoePhilly]

24. My sense is that they are starting to realize that they don't hate Obama's policies ...

they just hate the man.

And they scream words like "socialist", "commie", "fascist" and so on, simply because they can't scream N****R!.

[aaaaaa5a]

3. Yes. Although I still think Romney will ultimately win easily. nt

Sarah Palin will never be President. Running for President requires work. It requires intelligence. Her entire persona is a sham.


The person who should be kicking themselves is Tim Pawlenty. He dropped out after the meaningless Iowa straw poll. There is no doubt had he stayed in he would be a major player today. He must have a lot of sleepless nights over his lost opportunity.

[denem]

4. Work? I'm just talking SuperPac money, and lots of it.

If a SuperPac can't coordinate with a candidate, can it buy you a wardrobe of coordinated outfits. Maybe this time they can.

[Drunken Irishman]

7. I think Romney wins...I don't think it'll be easy...

Especially if he loses Florida.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Yes...

I thought there would be a lot of jockeying, some tense moments, but once the votes started coming in, the party would coalesce around Mitt Romney and things would be about as uneventful as most other Republican primaries.

But this...this is turning into 1992 all over again for the Republicans. Romney is Bush, Gingrich is Buchanan. The end result will be similar: a crippled nominee who spent too many months fending off the right that he lost the middle.

[wandy]

6. Why the fun is just beginning here in the center ring folks.

Once the clown car demolision derbey draws to a close the next event will be......
Right Wing Thunderdome. Two clowns enter. One clown leaves.
Is that an owl sitting on Newt's sholders or is it the woman with 'what's her name'.

[ThoughtCriminal]

8. No, I expected an over the top race to the bottom

to impress the most extreme right wing.

It's like going to a Michael Bay movie and not being surprised that a lot of things exploded.

[Moondog]

9. Not yet. But it's getting there.

[LiberalEsto]

10. No matter who wins the GOP primaries, I know who will lose:

The United States of America, and every sane person living here.

[TygrBright]

11. Oh, god, yes... I feel vaguely guilty and rather dirty for taking so much pleasure from them...

...but I ain't gonna stop. I already wear glasses.

amusedly,
Bright

[Rowdyboy]

18. Schadenfreude, sweet schadenfreude.....

This is too, too much fun!

[liberaltalkingpoints]

12. No wonder a couple soap operas have gone off the air!

[Ruby the Liberal]

13. I am blown away by them.

We may have been fractured in the Hillary/Obama race, but this is a sight to behold.

The "front runner" could almost be a calendar based on its schedule of the flavor of the month.

Now Santorum, Romney and Newt all have wins? Really GOP? Does this mean that Ron Paul gets Florida?

[liberaltalkingpoints]

14. Dont get fooled

The right will fall in lock step behind whomever gets the nomination.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

19. Yeah, but WHICH candidate is the question

n/t

[Johnny2X2X]

15. Yes

This Republican fiasco is beyond the wildest dreams of any Democrat. Not only are the candidates destroying each other, but money is being wasted here that could have been saved for the general election.

Obama is trending up and looks like a large favorite to win in November now.

[FSogol]

16. Ooooh, no more popcorn, please.

What's that thing, like diabetes, that you get when you eat too much corn and your body can't produce enough of that thing it needs to keep you healthy?

Cornsulin?

[Rowdyboy]

17. Its better than Project Runway! The finest in reality teevee, a tragi-comic melodrama....

acted by a cast of near lunatics across a national stage.

Tonight's episode should prove particularly entertaining....Can't wait!

[hallowell]

20. Cain

Cain was definitely kicking himself for getting out early after Newt won SC.

[denem]

22. So was Stephen Colbert :)
