Then I read the comments from TP and those first three Anonymous'es, and I realized that Jonny V is right: my neighbors ARE a whole lot of crazy.<br /><br />Mrs Palin was overwhelmed by the duties of being the Alaska governor, and quit to avoid greater public scrutiny. She has not shown ANY intellectual capacity or curiosity. Being President is infinitely harder, but Texans trust her to find her way.<br /><br />A WHOLE lot of crazy.TXSwedenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-33388118810357376972011-01-22T15:26:43.801-05:002011-01-22T15:26:43.801-05:00Huckabee himself said he's not going to partic...Huckabee himself said he's not going to participate in the spring republican debates. They're coming up in April/May 2011 folks... so we're running out of time to set the republican field. The chances of Huckabee being part of it are low. <br /><br />Most candidates announce exploratory committees in the winter after the mid-term or early spring of the year preceding the presidential election, but republicans draw it out a little more than democrats. Bush 43 announced his committee in March '99. <br /><br />Basically, the republicans who want to contest Obama need to have their operations up and running in the next 3-4 months... running for president is expensive and complicated.AaronTXnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-51099803087026423422011-01-22T12:52:34.123-05:002011-01-22T12:52:34.123-05:00The comments from right wingers about how people o...The comments from right wingers about how people on the left want Huckabee as the nominee make me laugh. So delusional and baseless.<br /><br />I am a progressive/democrat/liberal/socialist/whatever and I don't really want Huckabee as the nominee --- while I do think Obama could beat him, I also think Obama could beat any Republican --- I think Huckabee may be the strongest GOP candidate (although I think once people learn more about him - Romney would probably be stronger.) ...<br /><br />SARAH PALIN is who we WANT but I think most of us think that's an unrealistic dream at this point. It looks like the Republicans aren't going to be quite crazy enough to give us Palin as the nominee.Jonny Vhttp://www.vimaxreview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-72844498610152444952011-01-22T09:13:46.983-05:002011-01-22T09:13:46.983-05:00Sarah Palin has asked for me to tell you to remove...Sarah Palin has asked for me to tell you to remove this latest "blood libel" against her. With that said, I do not think one should discount the strong possibility that she WILL BE the GOPer nominee.

As for Obama, other than a few areas in big cities, he is despised for being the empty suit that he is. Also quit bitching about our shortfall. We have a balanced budget in our Constitution. They won't raise taxes either. They'll cut where it needs to be. Over bloated education and welfare rolls.

If Texas Republicans get people riled up by cutting their already-scanty services too far, or by raising taxes, it's not out of the question that 2012 could see voter anger at Republicans swing the state (at federal or local levels). Still unlikely to generate that much voter anger, but with an unexciting candidate like Romney or an actively disliked one like Palin, it could happen. The Huckster would probably have to really botch things to blow it, though; he's enough of a good ol' boy to get votes in Texas.NRHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565160695480579309noreply@blogger.com
