Except thisperson
I look forward to once again hearing a Massachusetts businessman and former governor, son of a Michigan governor and holder of a JD and MBA from Harvard, and who is worth a quarter of a billion dollars, complain about the dominance of “Eastern elites” in American politics. 
As for Palin, about the only person in the country who would actually benefit from her election is George W. Bush. Just like Bush’s own presidency caused a lot of people to see his father is a more sympathetic light, i think Palin in the White House would lead some people to pine for the halcyon days of a GWB presidency.
I’m going to build a rocket and habitat, and move to mars, and none of you motherfuckers can come.
Charlie Sheen apparently became a rock star there. Can’t be a star without an audience. Maybe Io?
According to this, it might hurt him.
But, he’s, like, totally in touch with the common man, dude!
I thought he was, like, totally in touch with the common dude, man!
Conrad and Barbera Black, maybe? Not that having a great relationship with Conrad Black is anything to crow about.
Huckabee, Palin and Trump… oh, my!
One of the MSNBC guys made that joke, too.
Only in America can we have a potential presidential candidate who can’t really get his campaign (allegedly) going until his reality show is finished for the season.
Man, I miss Goldwater. Looks pretty good compared to the frontrunners.
Certainly had ten times the integrity.
Meh, I don’t like Hukabee, Palin or Trump, but at least they’re not pro-segregation.
Heck, Trump even lets some of the blacks be his friends.
Good idea not to put your money on that idea. I think this pretty much guarantees there is no way Romney will get the nomination.
As long as a significant number of the Republican base continues to live in Crazyville any candidate who acknowledges Obama is legitmately a citizen is seriously hurting his/her chances of winning the nomination.
Several of the potential nominees have explicitly said they think Obama is a citizen. While birtherism is surprisingly prevalent amongst the GOP, I don’t really think its so much so that its a deal breaker. By the time of the debates, I doubt any of the serious candidates will be willing to pretend to be birthers.
This is the reason Romney won’t be the GOP nominee.
Of COURSE he does! He’s hired hundreds of them as janitors in his properties.
I agree the healthcare stuff isn’t going to do Romney any favors. I also think his religion is going to hurt him more than some people think. So, frankly I think he has problems for a number of reasons.
By my count the only other potential candidates who have said they think Obama was born in Hawaii are Pawlenty and Barbour. And they didn’t make statements about it until after Romney did from what I can tell.
Huckabee, Palin, Bachman, Vitter, Cuccinelli, Inhofe, and of course The Donald have all spouted birther nonsense.
I can’t find anything indicating either Mitch Daniels or Rick Santorum have commented on the topic. It appears Gingrich has played it both ways at times.
I don’t know how big a part of the Republican base really, really, really buy into the birther baloney, but every time some potential candidate spouts off and makes noise about Obama’s birth they seemingly shoot up in the polls. At the least, there is something about making an issue of Obama’s “otherness” that appeals to part of the base and gets them fired up.
:Checks forum:
No, the best thing about it would be that someone could rape the PotUS and have the victim admit it. And really, despite the fact that it would probably lead directly to a 300-million-man snit that nuked life from planet Earth in impotent rage, man does the USA need that kind of abject humiliation.
ETA: On second thought, this is a good reason to support Huckabee. He’s pretty Christian. If you raped him, he wouldn’t lash out by nuking random countries, he’d forgive you. Which would be sort of the equivalent to Jimmy Carter giving away the Panama Canal in voters’ minds…man, I haven’t thought this through.
Palin is trying to have it both ways, sometimes even in the same breath.
I’m not one to shy away from the low hanging fruit when it comes to a bad pun.
I hope you’re right. It’s not a trend I’d like to see move north.
What the hell?
