Heard today that Rand Paul (Ron's son) has indicated he might run next time. Can't see him having much more success than his father though.

Ugh I hope not.
Huntsman 2016.
What we need is an uncharismatic, socially conservative candidate who exaggerates his own credentials and can't get any support from his own party.
Donald Trump it is then!Quote:

Is Rubio old enough? The Low-key pubbies might go for some latin-o spice this go around
The Bush girl? She'd just make the age limit I think
If Christie goes on a diet, you know he's gonna be there
Santorum got the insane evangelical mandate last time, he might give it a whirl, not like Ricky has better things to do
Newt might have realized he's too caustic, could not have, we'll see
Whole host of other young names I'm not really familiar with
Maybe Paul "Bioshock" Ryan will have a go at the ticket? That'd be great.
I have no idea about '16 and seriously no one else does either this is stupid
Truth on that last sentence.
Maybe some no-name Republican will become a Senator in 2014 and use his demagogic skills to win the presidency in 2016. Hope and change! :o
You mean, fear and stasis.
I thought that was the Obama 2012 platform?
No, that was "I am not a Republican".
A) 4 more years.
B) If you don't reelect me, the other guy will rape your children and your parents.
Romney never actually denied that.
Jeb Bush 2016! I wouldn't mind Bobby Jindal or Marco Rubio.Quote:

Marco, so far I would like. Need more info.
Christy is the best bet, so far. (Just needs to get below Taft size)
There was a NY Times piece about how GOP apparatchiks really hate Christy now over how he handled Sandy (and Obama). Jindal is one of the leaders of the war against science. Not sure if I'd want a Senator to become president given how the last one turned out.
College history? Whatever it is I doubt its worse than draft dodging or racism (like KKK membership that one Democratic senator had).Quote:

You think that's worse than being part of the KKK?Quote:

Isn't declaring too early pretty much the end of your chances?
Romney did pretty well.
With too early I mean; before you have actually sounded out potential (relevant) supporters?Quote:

Did the girl press charges? What's her take? I'm assuming if he wrote about it she's pretty positive about the experience. And you do know he was elected governor right?Quote:

Jebus Lewk, it just bloody looks bad. Nevermind if she pressed charges or not. He went down the path of it must be demons and not sick from cancer?
Can you not picture what the electoral map would look like?
Depends on the situation. Get into a heated argument about something with your buddy and you insult him and he punches you, maybe you don't want to have charges filed. Why would the police bother if everything is patched up and no one wants to see a prosecution?Quote:
