Something interesting seems to me to be brewing in the Republican Party.
Seems the Koch Bros. the new big dogs in town want Chris Christie to run for president. But what about the Bush Crime Family, the old dogs in town? What about Jeb’s run for president? Should Christie run and win in 2012, wouldn’t that put poor old Jeb in the back seat for 8 more years. I don’t see that happening. I see a major conflagration on the horizon. It should be interesting. My money is on the old dogs and their Machiavellian henchman KKKarl Rove.

1. It's like the old Mafia is taking its time to get position
and that's why the current field is a layer of disconnected whackamoles.

2. When you worship money you have to follow the money.
The question is who has the most and what do they want?

3. That's an easy one. "They" want "more".
It is just never enough. More money, more power, more stuff.

4. Republicans are close to openly fighting each other for ascendancy.
Moreso, their money masters. Let them eat their own.

7. As for another Bush, they fear a deafening "NOOOOOOO" from the public if they put Jeb on the ticket.

9. George W. Bush was over in 2008. That was a long time ago. Obama wrecked the USA since then

They could run Jed Bush with a straight face; he'd come across all earnest and capable; choose some VP for the Zombies to feast on, and they'd have 'em a race. The Last Holy Battleground!

12. The Republican Party is in such a shambles I see Jeb riding in on his white
horse to save the party.

15. But it's particularly bad this year. I think the Overlords are willing to let
Obama have another 4 years to prove that the Democrats are not going to save the country. Then they will come out gangbusters for Jeb the savior. Expect full fascism to follow.

11. Christie is too moderate on social issues. Also, he doesn't have the stamina for a national campaign

I still think it's Romney. It's always been Romney.
