2012 GOP Presidential Campaign -- "This individual's going to accuse me of an affair for an extended period of time."

I would lol of Trump endorsed Huntsman

I know about Hialeah bcz of the horsetrack, and I am always intentionally hialeahrious, you simp.

i would lol if trump endorses newt and trashes romney as a weaselly flip-flopper.

or maybe he'll find them all unsuitable and . . .

. . . oh that would be good.

candidates vie for the trump bump

I don't know why but that gave me the mental image of Trump putting on his toupee over a Bump-It

Roffle:

Trump's idea 2 moderate a debate is absurd. I hope all GOP candidates turn him down. It's a campaign; not a TV show.

Ari Fleischer wondering why it can't be like the pure and untelevised campaigns of 2000, I guess.

W was a drunk, baseball playing, plane crashing redneck from Texas. and a born-again Xtian. all GOP rightwing male checkboxes checked.

/ ivy league cheerleader and draft dodger. I'm sure Ron Paul could be sold as a 'real man' w/ the right media team. to start w/ he's actually from Texas. maybe he could put on some muscle,

this can work for chris bosh, not ron paul.

the GOP doesn't want someone who looks like the riddler. they want a daddy. a man. a man's man.

a man's man's man.

CNN just had a Republican focus group holding court on Gingrich and Romney. Major surprise: they don't trust either one of them. This is good news for...Gary Johnson?

FOR RICKY SANTORUM

Lumps Stump for Trump Bump

says Crump

:-D

My hope is they all turn down Trump and he uses that hour or however long to say, 'they dont care about telling the american public their principles; so i guess i am the only man here worth voting for' and throws his wighat back in the race as the last non-mittens.

really interesting results in this GOP focus group, concerning the republican slate of presidential candidates.

George Will hates Gingrich, and thinks Romney would be Thomas Dewey to Obama's Truman. So he gets behind Rick Perry (admitting his wife is on the payroll) and--this is really odd--Huntsman.

Some people respond.

The thing I find so odd about Will's endorsement of Huntsman has less to do with how conservative Huntsman may or may not be than seeing someone of Will's--I'll say visibility rather than stature so Alfred's head doesn't explode--so publically backing a lost cause.

Probably a smart move (and probably a non-story), but I don't know--if Romney flinches at Gingrich, what would a primary voter think about how ready he is for Obama?

I'd hold off for a few hours; deep discounts imminent.

I'm not getting anything at cainsolutions.com--I hope someone thought to register the name.

Holding out this endorsement carrot is really weird. He's surely too toxic to warrant anything in return, so it's hard to know what that is beyond an ego thing. I'm not sure why anyone would court him at this point, but I suppose they all will.

it's "the"

Excellent--we the people are ready to enlist.

rip herm dawg you were funneh, 'black walnut'

Erick Erickson reveals what it all means:

Dropping out now will be viewed by a great many as an admission against interests that Herman Cain did have a 13 year affair.

But let’s be real clear here. Herman Cain did not get wiped out by an affair or allegations of sexual harassment, frivolous or otherwise. He got wiped out because those allegations threw him off his game and then he kept stumbling through attacks on his 999 plan, his foreign policy issues, and his campaign staff generally beclowning themselves with allegations, retracted allegations, and retracted retractions of allegations, etc.

A lot of people will see this as a sign that amateurs cannot run for office. Perhaps. I actually see it more as another failure of the professional political class. I’ll have more thoughts on that later.

And such deep thoughts they will be, I'm sure.

I’ll have more thoughts on that later.

As a dog returns to its vomit, etc etc

"off his game"

"soon Cain will be forgotten."

Never Forget!

Cain Chooses Plan B, Aborts Campaign

lol

hahaha

My friend Steve sums it up:

Herman Cain's plan B: audition for the role of Uncle Enzo in the film version of Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash

Meantime it's not that I want to laugh at stupid people but well...

"SACRED HONOR"

tho honestly, after bunting and barbecue and blaring pop music; a sign-up sheet for volunteers; herman cain golf shirts going for $50; and policy pamphlets for free, i can almost understand why the faithful that went to see cain today thought he might stay in the race.

they didn't realize that his campaign has always been a front for an elaborate book-tour.

no on account of sad cain girl not dressing to match her doll

I expect I will have to offer grief counseling to all my grade 6 students on Monday.

to me, too!

i am v sad about this.

I know this isn't easy. Anything worthwhile--President Newt--never is.

lol we're gonna have a president whose first name is newt.

man it would be so great if cain rushed the stage.

maybe mark block could pretend to hold him back as cain tried to reassert himself as the GOP's number-one-guy.

Choppy video, but the audio's fine:

No one's supposed to "mention or attack other candidates." What's the point?!
