2. Romney Romney Romney.
And based on recent poll numbers, Rubio may not be as dead as VP as I thought.

4. Let's see...?
Their convention is being held in Florida. It's difficult to see any of the present candidates garnering a majority of the delegates. Jeb Bush would be a logical choice. He will be very popular at that convention.

7. Well I thought it would be Perry so I don't know if my guess will be any good -
but at this point I too would guess it's Jeb. What a motley crew.

10. It's Mitt "it's his turn" Romney and has been since 2008
when they ran John "it was his time in 2000, but better late than never" McCain.

The race to watch is 2016. That's when Jebbie will try to swoop in, secure in the knowledge that the average Republican will have forgotten what a total fuckup his big brother was and how Jebbie helped cheat him into office by refusing to allow a full state recount. The rest of it will be an unmitigated mess, all the various parts of the Reagan coalition ready to murder each other.

If Jebbie doesn't swoop in to "save" them in 2016, they'll have a hard time coming up with a candidate, period.

14. Huntsman isn't batshit crazy enough
therefore, not viable to the nutjobs.

15. It's too late for anyone new to jump in the game
The primaries start in 7 weeks and it's already too late to get on the ballot.

18. Buy all the Romneys you can get, at the market.
Edited on Fri Nov-11-11 08:30 PM by Davis_X_Machina
There will be no white knight. The nomination is Romney's.

It's too late for anyone else.

Of course, it is true that "you can't yield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you"

24. jeb can come out of the woodwork,
but I think newt will get it. He lies, he lies, and he lies. All three of the qualities needed to be a republican candidate.

26. If you think that
Then you have zero understanding of the Repukes. Jebbie is way too progressive on the issue of illegal immigration for about 70% of Republicons.
