Daniels Decides Against Presidential Run

[OpieGSU]

Stupid ass republicans have no chance in 2012. You retards should nominate Epic Beard Man.

[BDKJMU]

Really? You managed to do that after they elected W twice?

What do expect? Wasn't that long ago he was telling us that picking Palin for VP was a political masterstroke.

(They only elected W once. The first time he was appointed by the SCOTUS)

Oh BS, Bush won every single recount conducted in FL, including several by independent news organizations, yet you have idiots on the left who continue to insist he was "appointed".

[BDKJMU]

After months of stewing and despite widespread encouragement from many within his party, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels sent out an e-mail to supporters early Sunday saying he had decided against jumping into the 2012 presidential race

The decision is sure to disappoint the governor's many supporters, among them several prominent Republican governors who thought Mr. Daniels's deep résumé and record as cost-cutter in Indiana would add ballast to the 2012 GOP field.

In the end, he said, the decision came down to family. "I was able to resolve every competing consideration but one, but that, the interests and wishes of my family, is the most important consideration of all," he said in an e-mail sent after midnight.

What a pussy. HW was sitting at 90% popularity after Gulf War and less than a year before the election of '92, and Bill Clinton kicked a mud hole in his ass and stomped it dry. Honks need to find a candidate with some balls. Pitiful.

Gulf War I ended in early 01'- try over yr and a half before the election of 92' when HW hit 90%, not less than a yr as you claim.

Yeah, and Clinton really stomped a mud hole in his ass with 43% of the vote to 38% for HW. If it wasn't for Perot taking 19% mostly from R's then Clinton wouldn't have gotten elected.

Put your money where your mouth is, old man.

Put Z down for double or nothin'.

I don't need a lame-brained half-wit speaking for me, so shut your trap.

Z is waiting to see who the candidate is before I make any claim.

Perhaps you missed this?

[AZGrizFan]

Don't believe I said that. You talking to yourself again? Keep living in 2008, dumbass....look where that got your party in 2010.

Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed every weakness he has and every hypocrisy that he represents. She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain. She's energized his campaign, energized his fundraising, and energized the conservative right. I wouldn't be surprised to see McCain close the gap and start pulling away in the coming weeks.

I guess you're going to pull an Ursus and say you were "just kidding" in that thread.

But, you keep making claims..... So, either wait to see who the candidate is, or shut the fuck up on the 2012 race.

Exit polls showed Perot didn't take mostly from R's.

I'll make the bet Obama gets reelected with any of these people as opponents...
Pawlenty
Romney
Santorum
Gingrich
Bachmann
Palin

We've got 60+ yards for a touchdown and time enough for just a few more plays. Might as well throw a hail mary (i.e. nominate Paul or Cain) instead of a 12 yard pass underneath the coverage. Both of those guys are true rogue candidates and could make Mr. Hope-and-change look like a garden-variety establishment doofus.

Cain is a corporatist and would just end up being Obama-dark. Although, if nominated and he were to chose Palin, conks could simply cross out the Mc on their bumper stickers.

How about Jeb Bush? He'd take Florida and be positioned to pick off another couple of swing states.

Jeb probably doesn't want a billion dollars in Medicare fraud being revisited.

You aren't serious, are you?

The guy is named Bush - short of nominating Bachmann - there is little the GOP could do to ensure the election would go WORSE for them...

Excellent. Another rip van winkle who hasn't woken up from 2008 yet.

And the GOP hasn't been alerted to the fact that the "Tea Party Bubble" is bursting all around them.

Have you seen the EPIC collapse in support for both Tea Party Governors and the GOP in the generic Congressional ballot?

Florida, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maine... all of them have Tea Party Govs... they all have disapproval ratings in the mid-to-upper 50's and support in the upper 30's...

The fact that the GOP is scrambling, and may well lose the incredibly safe NY-26 seat Tuesday night... not a good sign for them either.

The backlash against the tea party and their sponsors over at the GOP is already well under way...

But the damage will linger for years. Not sure if they were smart enough to realize they had a limited window to push through their radical agenda, knowing that they would lose the next election, but not by enough to undo all of their legislation, or dumb enough to think that they had a mandate for a total revolution.

For a so-called "operative", you're not too smart.

These governors haven't even served 1/8th of their term and now you're trying to claim there's an "epic collapse" and the walls have started to crumble around them? While on the other hand with less than 1.5 years to the presidential election Obama is unbeatable when he is AT BEST 50/50 approval/disapproval with a failing economy?

It's nothing more than wishful thinking on your part.

As far as the NY-26 is concerned. The only reason it's close is because of a lifelong Donk registering as an independent and claiming to be a tea partier, otherwise it would be another Republican landslide.

Huntsman might give Obama a run....if he wasn't Mormon, I'd really like his chances...he's got the ear of corporate America, isn't just an anti-Obama candidate and seems to be a reasonable person...also has global respect as former ambassador to China...

There is a HUGE collapse going on for the GOP right now... they overplayed 2010's results... and it's starting to show.

I'm not suggesting one way or another on their new Gov's re-election prospects - I'm pointing out their polling collapses reflect a broader collapse for the GOP over the last five months that bodes ill for them in the next election.

My belief Obama will be re-elected is rooted in the fact that the GOP hasn't got a viable candidate people can vote "for" rather - they have candidates who are there to collect votes "against" Obama... such a thing didn't work for Kerry, Dole, Mondale, etc...

One would have thought you'd learned a lesson in 2010, but apparently not.

Sounds suspiciously like 2008.

I agree as well. I mentioned Huntsman before as someone who could beat Obama as I think he would have broad appeal in a general election. But that's the problem. Huntsman, like Daniels, isn't "anti-Obama" enough for the blood-sucking wing of the GOP that decides the primaries. Hence, the quandary of today's GOP...for them to field a viable candidate in the general, they would need to kidnap and remove the idiots from the primary voting polls....
