Would have been very interesting if George Romney had won the Republican nomination back when he ran. There would have been a true "birthers" controversy. As it stands, he lost and his birthplace never became a big issue.

Gingrich is set to go after Romney HARD by having his SuperPAC buy this film: http://www.kingofbain.com/

He's going to cast himself out of the party forever at this right by trying to maim the front runner with this kind of attack.

As the forum lefty I have no dog in this fight, but this ad by Ron Paul is pretty epic:

Republican party is in big trouble. Every candidate except for Ron Paul is like more of the same. When Barry leaves office in 2016 his 'ol sidekick Rahm Emanuel will take his place and that will be that.

Sad to say but 40+ years of kicking the can down the road by both parties looks to continue for at least 4 more years.

Was that commercial done by Michael Bay?

RP is the conservative version of Ralph Nadar, some good stuff tempered with a big heaping bowlful of wacky.

Santorum is invisible.

Perry may get a bump but will flame out in the end.

Newt is already on his way out and going on a scortched Earth campaign in the process.

Paul will never get elected but will hang in until the end since his entire campaign is appealing to the Occupiers and only cost $36.90.

Mitt gets the nomination by being vanilla and then gets his clock cleaned by Barry. Barry is going to win re-election by doing nothing and spending no money. Incredible.

It is too bad Ron Paul doesn't get more support. Everyone claims his policies are isolationistic and dangerous. It can't be any worse that what has taken place since the late 50's. Sorry to say it but both liberal and conservative media are swinging on Romney's meat knowing full well Barry is getting re-elected.

Mitt is definitely being portrayed by the media as the calm, cool, collected voice of reason while Perry is portrayed as an idiot, Newt is portrayed as Sherman torching the South, Santorum is ignored and Paul is the mad hatter. The media is promoting Mitt by default simply by not tearing him down like they are the others. Then when its time to face Barry, they will portray him as an elitist rich despot with wacky religious beliefs. Barry may get elected by not ever leaving the White House or saying a word. Sorta like Chris Jerichos new gimmick, all Barry has to do is smile for the camera and not say a word and he goes over.
