9. I don't think anyone has a chance against Obama, unless major
things happen - that are completely unlikely.

However, I think they are grooming Corker for the future - and, at least from seeing him on some committee hearings (mostly SFRC - to be honest - on both foreign policy and global warming) he is saner than others spoken of. He also was given a "starring role" on the compromise to help the auto industry - that failed to succeed, but was done in such a way to meet all the normal Republican talking points.

I know nothing of him personally - except the nasty ads against Ford. I suspect though - that given the paucity of possibilities, they might save him for 2016.

3. As someone who lives down the street from him....
.... FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD ....... NO!!!!!!!!!!

while the prospects of someone as bumbling as he is being the headliner for the GOP in a Presidential contest are tempting ... I could not BEAR my home town guy running against my Messiah. ;)

Have sympathy on me and stop thinking those things.

4. Better start watching for Corker's out-of-Country "excursions'
Seems to be a common thread with the self righteous Puke scum.

6. Uh, no. Can't see someone labeled "What a Corker!" going anywhere.

12. I would love for him to come to my state
and try to convince us that him being president would be beneficial to us after his "let them go under" attitude toward the auto industry. I doubt it will be him. I'm guessing it will be Romney...maybe Pawlenty.
