Huckabee will be left out

I think it's going to be a down-to-the-wire Romney-Thompson v. Giuliani-McCain battle.

Romney is getting no traction but is widely viewed as extremely smart and a great businessman. He needs the conservatives Thompson would bring. Thompson needs cash and a partnership with Romney wouldn't chase away most of his supporters.

Giuliani will need McCain's popular support and their emphasis on foreign affairs would be credible and very desirable. Neither man is a conservative but supporters will view them as as unbeatable ticket.

Huckabee is desirable as a running mate only because he is quick with the quips, but that alone isn't enough.

The winner will face a Hillary-Obama ticket. Get the popcorn and beer ready.

Thank you South Carolina for a great debate!

I just wish "illegal immigration" had been discussed more.

Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani were both fantastic. Conservatives will win out!

Obama - NO!

For the sake of this country the Democrats in SC need to vote for Hillary!

I would quote from the Obama For America website, but it won't open. The level of enthusiasm for this man by such libs as Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas is all I need to know ("I don't want to go into the next election starting off with half the country already not wanting to vote for Democrats. We've done that in 2004, 2000."). And on the blogosphere, liberals are complaining that Obama isn't tough (read: liberal) enough.

The economy will be fine if the pundits would only shut up!

The stock market is anxious enough without the regular and unwelcome remarks made by Federal Reserve members and investment management firm analysts.

Their talk is cheap unless you are an investor. And the mere thought of Barack Obama in the White House with his all-together-now talk is positively scary.

BUT, Bernanke spoke again today and says the Fed "stands ready" to cut interest rates. The market shot up, so maybe that will silence the recession-hungry pundits. Great statement by Larry Kudlow: "the market has predicted 20 out of the last 8 recessions" (not his original statement, but still great).

John Turncoat McCain

McCain-Feingold, amnesty for illegals, and back door deals with Democrats.

McCain's military service is beyond reproach, but when you add an arrogant and abrasive personality to the above "accomplishments", the man is completely unacceptable as a Republican Presidential candidate. The nanny state-loving MSM loves him for a reason.

Giuliani, Romney, and Thompson are FAR SUPERIOR Republican candidates.

Let's get serious about this America!

Bring on the rest of the country!

Iowa and New Hampshire. Now those are 2 heavy hitting states - best known for corn silos and snow. Whoop.

Seriously, let's not get all in knots before NY, CA, or TX. Better yet, let's just let this all play out. No one is "in" or "out" because nothing is "over".

Comprendez?
