Who will be the Republican nominee?

Romney was the poll leader and is now out. The primary will be much more open. Who do you think will win?

I vote for any democrat over any republican. We need a democrat in the WH and more.

To Republicans their fecal matter must be superb, a sweet but piquant flavor with a hint of exotic simian tang.

And the sooner they commit, the better. Fill the clown car up early and keep piling more into the GOP vehicle. Make sure they continue to spout their theocratic missives.

The best thing for a Dem candidate front runner to do is to announce in January, 2016, or even later. No need to hurry things when the clown car is doing everything you want. Let them spew their bullshitza.

Snagglepuss said it best, "Self-inflicted Bar-B-Que. They cooked their own goose."

Exit stage left.

I think they both stay away from last names due some high priced branding consultant advice.

Christie could be in jail. Mittens is riding his car elevator. I'm starting to think it's going to be the Koch's boy Walker.

I don't believe he has a maniacal desire to be President like Willard. He's not going to give 100%.

Jeb Bush is the only member of the GOP Kandidate Klown Kar capable of raising the money necessary.

Their influence is great, but the money they spend will not have anywhere near as big an effect on the outcome as money spent directly by the campaign itself, and that requires a large fundraising network.

Rand Paul will run as Libertarian and siphon off conservatives.

If Hillary wants to insure a win she will enlist John Huntsman in some way. I don't think he will be her VP but his endorsement and potential cabinet post will carry weight in creating a "Building Bridges" flavor to her agenda.
