Gingrich, Romney, McCaine will be the field in '08 for Repubs

[eleny]

Scarborough discussing this on MSNBC with Buchanan and AB Stoddard. Buchanan thinks Gingrich has strongly moved into the field.

1. Losers all

Their best shot will be with some little known midwesterner that they can paint as "Moderate"

[a la izquierda]

2. gingrich?

oh lord. that's it!:puke:

[eleny]

4. Sorry you lost your lunch!

I owe you. :hi:

[rep the dems]

3. Romney has got to be the biggest jerk of them all.

Has he ever once thought of one single idea on his own, or questioned one aspect of his misguided party? No. He waits to see what guys like Bush,McCain,and Frist think then says the same thing so people will know who he is. Thank god he won't be governor anymore, and thank god even more that he is being succeeded by a democrat. That oughta put that stupid son of a bitch in check.

5. Gingrich? Romney?

How are those two going to redeem themselves?

Time to start talking up their misdeeds now. LTTE time.

[HardWorkingDem]

6. Yes! We want Gingrich up there...

he will keep the corrupt magnet front and center and be a great turn out for values voters: who doesn't love a guy that serves divorce papers on his cancer recovering wife while she's in the hospital.

[bigdarryl]

7. Yep there all losers before they get started none of them can stand next to...

Obama Hillary Clark or even Vilsack for that matter we have some excellent candidates running/

8. Will the fundies accept a mormon?

Romney that is.

McCain would be formidable, but I dunno if the "base" will accept him, he is also oooold.

Gingrich is a fucking joke, any dem can kick his ass.

[QShok]

10. A true snake handling fundie wouldn't vote Catholic!

9. Pataki is in there too.

He's spending money in Iowa.

15. Pataki is probably a bigger threat

as a GOPher candidate than Romney. He's well liked in NY and an old school, country club Republican. That won't endear him to the "base" but would get him those middle of the road Reps and some "independents". (Why do I dislike that term? Maybe it's because it's like "libertarian" - "I'm going to wait and see who's going to grease my palm before I support them").

[FrenchieCat]

11. So because Scarborough said it, that makes it so?

I'm not so sure about that.

I think we should not believe that this will be the extent of it. I still believe in a "December suprise" announcement......

Stay tuned!

[eleny]

12. No, it doesn't make it so

But these are guys on the right who know what's going on in their own Party. We all know Gingrich wants it and is dumb enough to think he has a shot.

[Old and In the Way]

13. Really not much there when you think about it.

The cult of Bush has taken all of the media oxygen out of any other leadership in the Party. Where's the farm system? I guess it really doesn't exist. They are forced to go with the same tired 2nd fiddle faces. Each has its own unique baggage, sure to turn off key segments of the base. Compare that with dozens of well qualified, respected leaders and rising stars in the Democratic Party.

My guess for 2008? Arnold Schwarzeneggar.

[warrens]

14. Gingrich! Yeah, baby.

Let that loser get the nomination. We'll eat him for lunch. I doubt the Repukes will nominate a Mormon. And McCain is going to be unhappy with the way the right goes after him.

I don't see any of them getting the nomination.

[JI7]

16. Gingrich/Frist 2008, yeah that's the ticket

[d_b]

17. one can only wish

I'll be rooting for Abramoff/Foley.
