    I know, but I still have some hope. I just wish we had a candidate that could beat the sitting president, was actually a Republican, and most importantly wasen't Mitt Romney.

    He might when here but he is too underfunded/disliked to win anywhere else. A win in Iowa might give him the ability to charge more at public speaking events after he drops out of the race.

    Perry was done long before the ad. I fail to see any path for anyone not named Mitt Romney to win the nomination. Newt had a chance, wasn't aggressive enough/didn't have the money

    China? Did someone say China?

    Seriously, what is this 'Mr. China' thing?

    The Republicans hate Newt Gingrich, though he started to have a mild voter following. Wouldn't win anyway.
    Perry had no shot at beating Obama, Romney not much better. Not to be a Kali, but it is spelled wasn't.
    Iowa might give Santorum a little push, but he's way to disliked as well. Also, he's a Catholic, which alienates him from the mostly Protestant Republican Party.

    It also seems Governor Perry hinted he might end his campaign. That is scary.

    Paul is just jelly that he'll never be president. This race is absolutely ridiculous. Blew my expectations completely out of the water from an entertainment standpoint.

    I'm just in it for the headlines:
    Scantorum on everyone's lip after last night
    Scantorum surging from behind
    You get the idea, I'm a classy man.

    I hate Gingrich. I didn't like the man because he disliked homosexuals . I liked him because he was honest and nice. He wasn't a complete idiot like the rest of them. He had thick skin. He could take a joke. He proposed solid ideas and held some of the same values as me. I didn't like his ad or his "Oops" moment, but I didn't let that ruin my opinion of him.
