Handicapping the 2012 Republican nomination

Mitt(ens) Romney is not gonna get the Republican nomination in 2012. Evangelicals and Mormons are like Shiite and Sunni -- they both claim to worship the same God but they hate each other. And Evangelicals make up 60% of Republican primary voters. That's why Palin could put on her hip waders and give the finger to Alaska -- she's the darling of the evangelical wing of the Republican Party -- and the evangelical wing of the Republican Party IS the Party.

Gallup conducted a poll back in 2007 that revealed that:

• 5% of Americans said they would never vote for a black candidate;
• 11% said they would never vote for a woman candidate; and
• 24% said they would never vote for a Mormon candidate.

Mitt just ain't getting the nomination.

A closer look at the 2008 Republican frontrunners (new video)

Jason Lange and I are out with a new video, "Who are they really?" that takes a closer look at several of the 2008 Republican Presidential candidates. After several months of speeches and debates, a picture of each candidate is starting to emerge...(and it ain't pretty).



Feel free to share it with friends. (-:

A Closer Look at the 2008 Republican Presidential Candidates

Truth is, it's a pretty lean year for Republican Presidential candidates. There doesn't seem to be a genuine leader in the bunch. And I think we need to remind people of that every single time we mention the candidates' names (to the extent that we speak of them at all). So here are some keywords for describing the candidates, (along with explanations in the parenthesis), and the reason why this man should not be President.

Mayor and tobacco lobbyist Rudolph Giuliani
(he's never held a statewide or national office)
Chose to put the Emergency Commander Center inside the World Trade Center.

soon to be 72 year old John McCain
(he'd be the oldest President in U.S. history)
He's not the man he once was.

Former Massachusetts Governor Willard "Varmint Hunter" Romney
(The ultimate flip flopper.)
Have you read Under the Banner of Heaven? I'm all for freedom of conscience but any religion with secret underwear is wacky.

Thespian and asbestos lobbyist Fred Thompson
(I hope all those "shut up and sing" Republicans will remind Thompson that they want thespians to know their place and stop talking politics.)
18 year Washington lobbyist running as an "outsider."

Soft on Crime Governor Mike Huckabee
(Pardoned rapist Wayne Dumond who later raped and killed another woman.)
Can you say Willie Horton?
