    But Tom is clearly the best and we Americans need the best before we blow everyone up. Though give us Robert Chisholm not speaking French would be a + here in America.

    Today we have the New Hampshire Primaries!!! I just hope Romney doesn't win. Maybe Huntsman can beat him. I just know nothing exciting happens to Perry until South Carolina, but for now go Huntsman I guess.

    If I understand correctly you support Rick Perry? If so, do you agree with Perry that US should go back to Iraq

    That is a very odd statement he threw out. I have weighed the pros and cons. Of course I don't want to see more of my countrymen killed, but I feel that we also need to help the people of Iraq. I am worried that with us gone a even deadlier civil war could break out. I need sometime to grasp the situation over there before I fully makeup my mind, but I can see where he is coming from.

    Also has anyone seen Romney's gaff yet. He kind of said he loved firing people. It might just be bad enough to cost him New Hampshire.

    Yea well I see your point. I mean things are going to hell in Iraq... But US had to bull out some time and staying doesn't solve the problem. Unless us military can solve differences between shia and sunni Muslims.

    Yeah. I think maybe we should have left a few troops to ensure that something like that doesn't happen. It probably would be a lot better to stay in Iraq for a few more years, than to have to re-invade it again later.

    We should still keep a nice sized presence in Iraq in order to secure the zone, watch out for rising tensions between shia and sunni muslims in the country, as well as Iran's growing influence in Iraq.

    Romney just blew them away. I hope he gets bogged down in South Carolina.

    The big question is, how much of a percentage does Huntsman need to remain a viable contender in the race?

    I'm not saying he is bad, but if he runs the anti-Romney votes will go to too many different candidates, and Romney will win.

    Oh come now its becoming more and more clear that Romney will win and the people who will vote for Colbert will either be Paul Supporters or Perry, especially since Colbert is from south Carolina.

    I'm just saying if I had a choice between Colbert and Romney I'd take Colbert everyday of the week. However, with the current Bain Capital drama, it looks like South Carolina is the candidates last chance to bring Romney down, and they need as much going for them as possible.

    And the winner is Romney, and then the winner is Obama.

    At this rate that is where we are heading. There is no doubt about it.
