- Michele Bachmann - She is crazy. It is one thing to pounce on the donations Perry received from drug companies for his HPV vaccination plan, but when she started up with the "vaccines cause autism!" crap she morphed into a full-bore kOOk. I don't want her anywhere near the levers of power.
- Herman Cain - I like him and he doesn't stand a chance in hell. Which is a shame because he may be the only candidate from either party with real-life business experience.
- Newt Gingrich - He isn't actually running for president. He likes the spotlight and is angling (brown-nosing) for a cabinet position with the Perry/Romney administration. I think he is a sleazebag but I do admire his intelligence.
- Jon Huntsman, Jr. - Who?
- Gary Johnson - Who?
- Ron Paul - His ideas may or may not have merit, but what is undeniable to almost everyone is he looks and sounds nutty. Surely there are better candidates that represent libertarian ideals.
- Rick Perry - Is fumbling. Instead of hemming and hawing he needs to point out that people like Mitt Romney and Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman agree with him about the Social Security Ponzi. He needs better advisers.
- Mitt Romney - Winning. He's not my pick but he is undeniably smooth and polished. His campaign is a finely-tuned machine.
- Rick Santorum - Who?
- Wild card: Marco Rubio.

At this point a rabid dog could beat BHO...so my advice to who ever runs...just be quiet...don't do anything...the people want things unchanged so just sit back and wait and let BHO sink his own ship.
The 7 dwarfs cant beat President Obama.
Michele Bachmann is married to a homosexual man.
I don't understand the sudden love fest for Perry. The only thing going for him are the jobs created in Texas, and he didn't really have anything to do with that. Texas being a right to work state with no income tax and pro-business policies do more to create jobs than Perry did.
My fear is that he is being built up by a media, who hopes he wins the nomination so that they can tear him down (Bush version 2!) in order to re-elect Obama.
Perry worries me. I can't say why. Not yet, anyway.
Bachmann worries me more, though, especially with that ill-researched vaccine-retardation remark she made, which shows bad judgement. And bad judgement isn't what you want in a president.
Romney looks even-keeled and competent by any measure, but what will he really be like when he starts wheeling and dealing with Congress?
Thing is, Romney, Perry, Rubio, and even Huntsman(!) or Cain could probably beat Obama at this point -- as long as they ply the middle ground and act consistently sensible (which rules out Bachmann, Gingrich, and Ron Paul.)
Perry worries me. I can't say why. Not yet, anyway.
All of these candidates worry me... I doubt a single one of them could pass a 10th-grade level math test.

I bet that not one of the GOP candidates has been to all 57 states.
BTW, see if you can get Barry to release his grades.

Oh, I didn't mean to come off like I was insulting only the GOP. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and nearly all politicians would fail the same 10th grade math test.
There should be far more engineers, scientists, doctors, and so on in higher politics. Not "community organizers", liberal arts majors, and other nonsense.
There you go scaring me again Lou. What are you, my doppelgänger? That we live in the same city makes it extra freaky.
I also like Cain, and realize he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of making it past New Hampshire. Perry needs to get some advisers from outside Texas. Romney is so polished I can't trust him (what does he really think?) As for Rubio, he's not ready and the party isn't ready for him. Needs to wait until the next cycle.
At this point, I would put my money on the establishment candidate - Romney. Republicans have a history of falling behind the candidate whose "turn" it is (McCain in '08, Dole in '96, Bush in '88).
My memory of Romney in the '04 primary debates is of him laughing and smirking after delivering a 'gotcha' line at Bush, thinking he was off camera. That kind of immaturity is a real turn off for me.
Jon Huntsman also has real-life business experience. I would still favor Herman Cain on business experience because his experience showed more entrepreneurial skills. Jon was fortunate to have a father with entrepreneurial experience (Huntsman Chemical) so he could have a real job for awhile.
I appreciate your Work,Will suggest to my friends and relative Check this for this one Florida Holidays and Florida Map
