I think the GOP will pick..........John Huntsman

[Logical]

Huntsman will win new hampshire and the GOP hates Romney too much. Cain is toast and perry is done! After NH huntsman will roll!
You can now stop wondering! Huntsman will be the nominee!

[valerief]

1. I think you're right. The others are too sucky and too crazy. nt

[FarLeftFist]

2. WAAAY too SANE for the GOP nomination. IMHO

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Huntsman is pretty sane for a Republican.

That means they won't touch him.

[brooklynite]

4. You can't beat somebody with nobody...

...and Huntsman is a nobody.

It doesn't matter that he's a rational choice. He's shown no sign of life in the polls in months. Whether that's his positions or his staff, I don't know, but there's no different way he can campaign that's going to get voters' attention.

[SoutherDem]

9. I didn't realize he was still running.

[FarLeftFist]

17. Exactly. Plus, their voters are idiots.

[LynneSin]

5. I think the GOP won't give a rats ass who gets the presidential nomination

but instead focus on regaining the house

[Mojambo]

6. Yeah, but where are his primary wins after New Hampshire?

I don't see it.

[provis99]

7. I think you need a new username...

[monmouth]

8. Fox was pushing Newt last time I surfed by..n/t

[Hutzpa]

10. Michelle Bachmann has it.

maybe Newt or Scrotum who knows.... :shrug:

[SoutherDem]

12. I have an old "Magic 8 Ball" if it will help.

[Hutzpa]

24. I have the white crystal ball that will putt that 8 ball

11. i've got my bookie on the phone

[Logical]

14. Hold off a couple of weeks! :-)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. I still think Ted Nugent has a shot to be drafted

He would be awesome against Obama. Are you reading this GOPpers?

[Historic NY]

18. He shit his pants the last time he was drafted.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

20. LOL

[onenote]

15. What is going to cause Romney to drop in NH and Huntsman to rise?

The polling is NH has been consistent -- Romney is between 35 and 40 percent. Huntsman peaks at 8 percent and barely registers at all in some polls. So, if Huntsman will win, what is going to trigger the amazing turnaround that would be required? Or do you think all the Bachman and Cain and Santorum voters are going to suddenly decide to vote for a guy who accepted a government position from Obama and who publicly has stated his belief in climate change?

Oh wait, you weren't serious were you.

[RickFromMN]

26. Agreed...I think it will be Romney now...before Perry self destructed, was sure it would be Perry.

I'm surprised the Tea Party Republicans haven't swift-boated Romney yet.

Two ways Cain can win the Republican nomination...
increase the favourable ratings of your candidate or
build up the unfavourable ratings of your candidate's opponents.

The Tea Party Republicans seem to "like" Cain despite the allegations against Cain.
It is hard to understand Cain's support hasn't softened.
His supporters must not believe the allegations.
Are his supporters strong enough to sway the entire Republican Party?

The Tea Party Republicans could tear down Cain's opponents.
Forget the issues...the issues don't seem to be enough to sink Romney.
Cain's supporters need to find something in Romney's background,
beside the fact Romney is a Mormon, to sink Romney.
Or am I wrong...is being a Mormon bad enough in the eyes of the Republicans to sink Romney?

[Old and In the Way]

16. The fact that you think he would be a good choice is why he's a non-starter

in today's Republican Party. Sorry, if it were Democrats who were choosing from this group, he'd win in a landslide. But they are opposite wired in their political thinking...so he's running a hopeless campaign.

[Logical]

22. Great point, he is the least insane!

[still_one]

19. If they were smart they would but all polls indicate otherwise. Incidentally, NH inge best

Indicator who eventually gets the nomination

[markpkessinger]

21. Here's their problem...

Any candidate who is insa... er, conservative ... enough to win the GOP primary, is too insa... sorry, conservative ... to win the general election.

[The Second Stone]

23. Huntsman and Romney in that order would be the least

disaster that the Republicans could inflict on the country. The Republicans hate Romney.

[Demonaut]

25. old news

[DesertFlower]

27. huntsman is the only republican i can tolerate.

[Sheepshank]

28. Huntsman gets recognition this time around.

During the next 4 years, the zealousness of TEA baggers will have waned and Huntsman will be ripe for 2016.

[brooklynite]

29. BREAKING NEWS: New polling on Huntsman's chances...

[hifiguy]

30. Not a chance.

In a sane Repig party he'd be close to or at the front. Huntsman's problem is that he isn't certifiable bull-goose loony and has said he believes in science. Both are preemptive disqualifiers in the inmate-run laughing academy that is the modern Repig party.
