Who Will The pukes Run In 2012?

[Dinger]

Poll question: Who Will The pukes Run In 2012?

Think outside the box now. I think darth.

[Don Caballero]

1. Mutt Romney

This pig will be the nominee. Obama will crush him.

[tonysam]

44. +1 about Mitt

[HopeHoops]

2. Ronald Reagan.

Sure, he's dead. He'd still be more effective in that state than any of the potential candidates the GOP has to field. Hell, he'd be more effective dead than he was when he was alive.

[Dinger]

3. Understood (nt)

[timeforpeace]

34. So you left out Romney and Palin why?

[Dinger]

36. Ran Out Of Room, And I Really Don't Think they'll Run (nt)

[timeforpeace]

39. Right. And Chuck Norris will. Seriously, why leave out the top two contenders for the Pukes?

[Dinger]

42. Hindsight Is 20 20

You're right.

[Atman]

4. Joe "Intern Killer" Scarborough

Though during his daily three-hour campaign commercial sponsored by defense/insurance giant General Electric, it appears he his more likely testing the teabag or "independent" waters.

.

[TexasObserver]

5. Jeb, Mittens and Fancy Pageant Walkin'

[peace frog]

30. Those are my three as well.

[havocmom]

54. Yep

It'll be BFEE (Jeb as front man) vs corporate enemies of BFEE corporations (Mittens as puppet) vs the lunatic 20%ers (If not the Queen of Quit, then a dark crazy horse named Bachmann)

And I wouldn't rule out Kinky Friedman, who might run just because he would probably have fun with it.

[onehandle]

6. Mittens. nt

[sharesunited]

7. Isn't it obvious? Huckabee.

[Mz Pip]

9. Nah.

Huck was Dukakised. His political career ended when it came out that he granted clemency to that crazy killer.

[sharesunited]

11. Ah but he will make lemonade! Huck is now a chastized law and order figure.

[THUNDER HANDS]

8. Thune

[laughingliberal]

22. A definite possibility often overlooked

I do not expect it to be any of the widely touted we are seeing at this point.

[Liberation Angel]

10. romney/bush

he is the bfee candidate

then jebbie

or maybe palin

[MH1]

12. Several other options

Thune, Barbour for two.

(Did Cantor have a bimbo problem or something? What happened to him?)

[Mz Pip]

13. Cantor

is a bimbo.

The guy is dumber than a box of rocks. Still, that sort of thing does seem to appeal to the Republican base.

[sharesunited]

16. Does a Jewish candidate have an easier or more difficult time than a Mormon one?

Among Republican primary voters I'm talking now.

[Mz Pip]

25. I'm guessing

given a choice between a Mormon and Jewish candidate the Jewish one would have a better chance.

[sharesunited]

33. Among evangelicals, I think you are correct.

They can accept the skepticism of Jews, but they can't accept what they view as the liturgical pomposity of Mormons.

[gopiscrap]

14. Palin/Jeb

[gopiscrap]

15. or Joe the Plumber

[Buzz Clik]

17. Palin's campaign started right here at DU:

[old mark]

18. Mitt. But there will be challengers from the Really Right, including

maybe Palin and Huckleberry, maybe Santorum. They will split the GOP vote and they will lose agaain, but we should seriously get out the Dem voters, even the angry hissy ones.
We will need them all in '10 and '12.

mark

[LatteLibertine]

19. Uncle Ruckus

nt

[slackmaster]

20. Danny Bonaduce

:nuke:

[the other one]

21. Willard Romney

[peekaloo]

23. a gerbil

which we shall promptly shove up their arses.

[itsrobert]

24. They should run Obama

He's given them everything they asked for.

[Dinger]

29. *Ouch*

[krabigirl]

46. seriously

[Mz Pip]

47. They didn't ask for

Sonia Sotomayor.

All I need to do is look at who the Republicans have put on SCOTUS and that alone will be enough to get me to the polls no matter how demoralized I might be about HCR.

[underpants]

26. I think Pawlenty or Cantor are the odds on best bets

Sorry Mitt a Mormon is NOT going to get the Republican nomination

somewhere George Allen is in a slow seething rage over those 100 seconds in Wise County :evilgrin:

[EndElectoral]

27. 1 .Palin, 2. Huckabee, 3. Jeb Bush 4. Romney

[notesdev]

28. The candidate will end up being someone most people have never heard of before

My prediction is that the 2012 GOP nominee will be Senator Jim DeMint.

I reserve the right to revise my opinion based on new information between now and then; what I am certain about is that not a one of the established names will be able to pass the tea party gauntlet that will by that time become a prerequisite for any GOP nomination.

[tekisui]

31. Mittens

[lpbk2713]

32. Failin the Quitter will have her vocal backers.

But she will just steal votes away from any other candidate who may have had a credible chance.

[DonkeyHoTay]

35. Willard Romney

[Motown_Johnny]

37. Palin, as long as we get out there in the open primary states and help her win

[Capt. America]

38. The monied Rethugs would nominate my shoe over Palin, she's only fun for the cuckoos. Mittens 2.0

[4dsc]

40. Palin is the regurgitated Ronnie Raygun of 2012

Conservatives are drooling over Palin as the new regurgitated Ronnie Raygun..

[goldcanyonaz]

41. Huckaburger.

[leftstreet]

43. Palin v Hillary n/t

[krabigirl]

45. Romney

[SoCalDem]

48. Mittens will probably win the primaries, because of national financial mess

He'll probably choose jeb as VP..Jeb won't run as the main guy, but figures that after 8 yrs as vp, he could slide in like his Poppy did..

Sarah will be old-hat by then..

[blue_onyx]

49. Sounds possible

but I can't see Romney getting the nomination. "Government run health care" will be a big issue the GOP will run on. If they nominate Romney, it would cost them one of their biggest talking points. Plus, his religion will be an issue.

Palin will not run. I think they'll nominate Jeb.

[GoCubsGo]

50. Newt.

There's a reason he crawled out from under his rock. I believe this might be it. I am also wondering if Joke Scarborough may also be thinking about a run.

[Sebastian Doyle]

51. Better hope Jeb doesn't run

and if he does, you better hope every electro-fraud "voting" machine is smashed with a sledgehammer. Because the Bush Crime Family will not bother getting into a race unless they can either win or steal it.

I don't see them wanting back in so soon though, really. At this point, there's nothing left for them to steal from the treasury.

[MilesColtrane]

52. One of these, or any combination thereof.

[Froward69]

53. Palin/Wherzelbacher

Well Palin is polling the highest...

[havocmom]

56. Did she and Joe Not a Plumber kiss and make-up?

I gotta pay more attention to my monthly issues of Snit Fits of the Loony Right.

[bullwinkle428]

55. Am I the first one to mention Jim DeMint? That guy really seems

to have a hard-on for a White House run.
