Honestly, Kev, what is your opinion about the main Republican candidates right now? Because they all scare me. |
I'm pretty unhappy at the moment... but it's early as hell. A year and 5 months out from the 2008 election, it was a given that Hillary was a lock. The old establishment guys like Newt and Romney don't do it for me (although if they got the nomination, I would certainly vote for them over Obama). Newt is one of the smartest guys around, a historical genius, and would obliterate Obama in a debate... but he goes way off the reservation, hates to be challenged, and has too much personal baggage. His day has come and gone. John Huntsman is McCain part duex- peace out douchebag.
I wouldn't mind Rick Perry jumping in- 47% of all jobs created in the US in 2010 happened in Texas which is a great thing to stand behind right now, and he isn't a squishy McCain type loser who panders in the identity politics arena. I also wouldn't mind Chris Christie for the most part (even with a couple of RINO tendencies), but he won't run. Whoever gets the nomination needs to get a solid fucking VP candidate on the ticket. That may be the deciding factor.
