POTUS Wannabe Watch, Vol. 1

by: Dean Barker

Thu Nov 04, 2010 at 19:13:58 PM EDT


CNN snuck a NH-Primary teaser into their exit polling. The Godfather of ObamaCare takes the lead:
In New Hampshire, 39 percent of Republicans say that Romney is their likely choice in the state's primary, with Palin at 18 percent, Huckabee at 11 percent, Gingrich at eight percent and 19 percent saying they would back another possible contender.
Iowa and South Carolina don't find Mittens any more appealing than the others, though.

I think Facebook Governor Palin is the presumptive nominee by a mile (despite the awesome job she did costing the GOP the US Senate), rendering New Hampshire Romney's one and only, and thus not terribly important or influential overall.

But then again I was sure Al Gore was running for POTUS in 2008, so what do I know?

My worry (0.00 / 0)
is that they may actually do their homework on that for once, and find someone who isn't a buffoon or a party hack. Although, the Tea people ain't too big on homework, so they'll have to deal with that somehow.

For this go-around, it's clear that they started their plans seconds after the 2008 election. Good piece on this in the NYT today. To think they were going to school on Rahm...well.

Ain't too soon for us to start studying...

Republicans believe government is bad - then they get into office and prove it.
