2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[The Other Kevin]

Wonder what the media will do when Ron Paul wins Iowa.

Probably say that there's only 49 states in the union.

As someone who supported Obama in 2008, this election makes me want to crawl into a ball and cry for the rest of my life. Between the media focusing on joke/worthless candidates for the Repubs, and the Dems resting on their laurels and letting themselves be repeatedly fucked in the ass, there really is nowhere to go right now.

Jesus christ he's like an 80's martial arts movie villain. I love it.

With just over a month to go, a new Des Moines Register poll of likely Iowa caucus voters released Saturday shows Newt Gingrich surging to first place, at 25 percent. Ron Paul is in second place, with 18 percent, while Mitt Romney has fallen to third place, at 16 percent. Michele Bachmann had 8 percent, as did Herman Cain, who suspended his campaign Saturday. Rick Perry and Rick Santorum were tied at 6 percent.

Gingrich 26, Romney 18, Paul 17, Cain 9, Bachmann 5, Perry 9, Santorum 5, Huntsman 2

Romney 39, Gingrich 23, Paul 16, Huntsman 9, Cain 2, Perry 3, Bachmann 3, Santorum 1

Oh, btw, Cain's out of the race in case anyone missed it. So much for the "one voice" who was the "one hope to heal our land."

Pretty fair to assume that one or several of Gingrich's past scandals are going to resurface, and he too will be the flavor of the week/month, just like Bachman/Perry/Cain before him, leaving Romney as the only candidate just as expected from the beginning...

"When presidents get laid, you get paid"

Now I think it's time for our bachelor president to get a woman.

[shadowgrin]

He's too busy questioning the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, taking personal grudges, and spitting on the constitution to be even having a relationship right now.

Newt loses HUGE endorsement, campaign collapsing:

Actor Gary Busey is withdrawing his endorsement of Newt Gingrich for president.

“It is not time for me to be endorsing anyone at this time! When there are the two final candidates, then I will endorse,” Busey said Wednesday in a statement released through his representative.

Busey endorsed the former Speaker’s presidential campaign Saturday in an exclusive interview with The Hill.

“I’ve never met Newt but I know what he stands for,” Busey said.

Asked why Busey was withdrawing his endorsement, the actor’s spokesman said Busey “likes” Gingrich but “he is not endorsing anyone at this time.”

Gary's probably out of GOP race and will go for the Libertarian nomination:

Johnson has told a reporter that this is something he’s looking at and that he will be in New York tomorrow to do “as many media appearances as they can wind me up and send me in that direction.” But he said he wasn’t announcing the switch tomorrow.

Stephen Gordon, who identifies himself as the Southern Regional Director of the Gary Johnson 2012 campaign, told me:

“I personally spoke with Governor Johnson a couple of days ago and outlined many of the pros and cons of running for the LP’s presidential nomination. It’s my opinion that certain senior leaders within the GOP have intentionally thrown as many roadblocks as possible into the governor’s path and that the Libertarian Party will be a much more welcoming home to someone of his true small-government ideology and proven track record.”

Gordon added that as of their last conversation the Governor was not yet decided but was strongly considering the idea.

Are all these candidates trolling the campaign marketing system or something?

Just days before the critical Iowa caucus, Ron Paul has secured a major endorsement – from Kelly Clarkson.

The “American Idol” winner expressed her support for the Republican presidential candidate on Twitter.

“I love Ron Paul,” Clarkson wrote on Thursday. “I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he’s got my vote. Too bad he probably won’t.”

She explained, “Ron Paul is about letting people decide, not the government. I am for this.”

:O :O :O

[koberulz]

She explained, “Ron Paul is about letting people decide, not the government. I am for this.”

Since when? Ron Paul seems more about letting the state government decide than anything else.

[Patr1ck]

Your right, but that quote was referencing national government, since he is running for president.

[koberulz]

That doesn't make the quote correct. It's certainly wrong about 'letting people decide', regardless of how you try to spin it.

[Oznogrd]

That doesn't make the quote correct. It's certainly wrong about 'letting people decide', regardless of how you try to spin it.

Dude. You're arguing about semantics over a kelly clarkson quote. Seriously? ITS FUCKING KELLY CLARKSON. Not some great thinker who has any idea what she's talking about.

Just like everyone else who reports on and talks about this stuff...except benji lol
