[WI_DEM]

1. Gingrich would be an interesting opponent. Three times divorced and multiple cheater--how could

he run as the Christian candidate?

[Cosmocat]

3. Whoever the dem is ...

is the anti-christ incarnate ...

seriously, a R get the good christian get out of jail free pass to be a complete sociopath ... A faithful husband, church going, decent democrat still is the anti-christ to the right ...

[Enthusiast]

4. He has been forgiven.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

7. Double standards when it comes to Reps and Dems. Clinton had to be impeached for his

sexual indiscretions, you see. But for some reason, the American public is willing to overlook--and even forgive--Republicans a la McCain and Vitter.

The M$M won't touch Newtie's past; and if they do, like "W," they'll explain it away by exclaiming that he's a "born again Christian."

Wait, watch and see...

[Douglas Carpenter]

9. ronald Reagan was the first divorced person to be elected President in U.S. history

Revelations that his wife dabbled in "the occult" (from a fundamentalist perspective) and even used it to guide the Presidency didn't seem to harm him among right-wing fundamentalist at all.

The very fact that a divorced Hollywood insider guided by astrology still ranks far, far higher among most white American fundamentalist than an actual born again Christian Sunday school teacher.

The desire for political power still trumps spiritual concerns.

11. Because all a "christian" has to do is...

repent and all sins are forgiven.

[FSogol]

2. Question: Were the poll results adjusted for sarcasm?

:shrug:

[saltpoint]

5. It doesn't look like Rick Santorum is especially

competitive so far.

[saltpoint]

6. A kick just to say what an uninspiring pack of

potential candidates the Pukes have this next cycle.

Other of their potentials must be reading results like that and thinking, "Hell, I could take this thing," meaning the nomination. They'll have to be at least as batshit crazy as Glenn Beck but that shouldn't be an obstacle for most Republicans.

[zulchzulu]

8. Looking at them in like looking at a Jr. High team playing against a Pro team

Palin? Gingrich? Huckabee?

Talk about FAIL.

[saltpoint]

10. And where, pray tell, is George Pataki's name?

The Pataki juggernaut is rolling across the land, ladies and gentlemen! Stand aside, for it is an awesome thing to behold!

[KingFlorez]

12. I am so glad that I am not a Republican

Those choices are just too overwhelmingly good.

[Bravo Zulu]

13. The stupid people in Pennsylvania,

want one of their own to lead them!

[AlinPA]

14. The PA republicans could easily select Palin in a primary. There are a lot of teabaggers

here, especially W. PA. There are Palin signs in yards already. Paul is popular too.

[Cosmocat]

15. Nope ...

Pa it too populace ... Palin's appeal wears at an expontial rate, the more people there are, the more who see her for the opportunistic and completely imcapable twit she is ...

We have seen more Ron Paul signs out early and late the last four years than any other signs, and he always tops out at 10 percent or below ... And, he is an actual legitimate politician ... But, their supporters are similar, very virulent and showy ... But, again, the people who come to the booths to vote are more discerning - even the Rs ...
