Handicapping the 2012 GOP presidential nomination

Actually, whoever said that, read it in a text on Mormon Doctrine that was purchased in the Mormon book store.

The race is over. Cain was told by god to run like Moses. How can you fight that? We may as well all order bad pizza and give up.

I wish God would tell Allen West to run already.

Oh, that would be entertaining.

Wildly entertaining, considering he’d likely kick Obama’s ass.

Aren’t you funny!

Oddly, I remember folks making the same prediction about Rick Perry.

“What happened here is a miracle, and I want you to f****** acknowledge it!” -Samuel L. Jackson as the burning bush. :slight_smile:

NSFW language only, 10 Things I Hate About Commandments video parody:

Just in case anybody was wondering, God told me not to run.

I am glad you got the memo.
God told me to remind you not to run.
Something about a “checkered past”.

I didn’t know you played checkers.

The checkers thing? Oh, that was just an unfortunate misunderstanding with gambling debts.

God didn’t actually tell him to win.

So you are not a crook?

Wait - so God told Cain, Bachman, and Santorum to run?

I’m beginning to wonder just how sincere God is.

What you’re missing is that God is a troll.

No, it was “checkered pants” that were the problem. God’s got a very strict dress code for His presidential candidates.

It should be news to no one that God has a cruel sense of humor.

I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumors,
but it seems that God has a sick sense of humor.

I just watched Gary Johnson on MSNBC. He came across very well - common sense Libertarian (oxymoron?), successful business man, two term governor - that trumps both Gingrich and Cain.

This circus needs a new clown - maybe it’s Johnson!

Johnson’s poll numbers are so low he can’t even get into the debates. It’s a little like saying Mike Gravel was going to take the lead in the Democratic field in 2008.

True - but consider what has happened so far. For a while Palin was in the lead and she was not even in the race. Bachmann was actually taken seriously for a while. Then, total airheads like Perry and Cain came out of nowhere to capture the lead. It’s a race among non-contenders.

So, why not Johnson?
