| "To win, President Obama and Mitt Romney each seemed willing to say almost anything," said Robert Samuelson in The Washington Post on Nov. 5, Guy Fawkes Day. This is a good day for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who so hoped for an Obama win that he embarrassed himself during the tragic storm in New Jersey by virtually endorsing the president. And it would then be a good day for Jeb Bush, who sees himself as Christie's No. 2 in 2016. A Romney victory would have prevented that future for the Bush Dynasty. Clinton’s wistful and unlikely dynasty,

Seems to me Warren should be under indictment for a felony of representing clients when she was not legally to do so. Krauthamer has already been pushing Jeb for 2016 along with Rubio. No to Rick Perry. He's not capable. Virtually has NO power in Texas. The Legislature has the power and all he does is to sign/veto bills, but usually goes with the legislature.

Warren, if the Dems candidate in 2016, will win. First Indian President of The United States.
Palin won't run.
Perry can't talk, when on the national stage.
Christy is a Dem who cries in appreciation when talking to union supporting multimillionaire pop artists, so won't appeal to Republicans.
Bush is a liberal Dem in Republican clothing.
Petraeus works for Obama. What would he run as? And how would that appeal to Republican voters?
This infernal quest for the next best thing in politics is about as stupid as looking for the Cracker Jack prize in a jar of peanut butter.

Looks like they're picking our candidate already, like they picked McCain. The idea is to keep the base home, and give it to Biden or whoever emerges over the next four years.
Hopefully it won't work.

I'm all for keeping Perry in Texas, since he is my governor, but not for the conventional wisdom that wrongly posits that he has no power, thus no executive experience. That talking point is as tiresome as it is wrong. A slightly weaker constitutional authority in the context of a large, populous, powerful state trumps a strongman type from a weak state.

Let's dispose of his blather. Christie--will be gone into a Nobama cabinet. Warren--please. Perry--blithering idiot, thank God he's in TX without real power. Jeb Bush--another pro-illegal immigrant amnesty RINO, so past his prime it's not funny, and he's gained 50 lbs.
David Petraeus at CIA will be thrown under the bus on Benghazi-Gate, along with Hillary Clinton.
But I would like to roll out the carpet for Sarah Palin. I hope after being savaged by both left and right, she hasn't changed her fundamentals.

The Republican Party, and the USA, both died on 11-6-2012. So does it really matter who runs in 2016?
So many choices to run against PIAPS or Cuomo and get stomped by all the newly legal illegal aliens who will get to vote in 2014 and 2016. So who will the Republican sacrificial lamb be???
This country is dead. It will just take a few years for the corpse to rot away.
The only question is which language to learn before our new overlords take over -- Spanish, Arabic or Chinese???

Perry was having back problems and pain medication during the primaries. He shouldn't have run with that set as it didn't serve him well. He is far more of a straight-talker than he appeared to be during the spring debates.

#22, then Perry had no business being in the primary. He increased the ridicule level and diverted time and money. A real lapse of judgment on his part. If he's actually a stronger governor than others have indicated on L.dot, then I retract my prior statement. But as a 2016 candidate, no. Maybe on the Leadership Council which should be outside the main party.
But then again my home state had Christie the Fat RINO for a governor, so I should talk. I'd take Perry.

Didn't read the article, skipped most of the above posts. The last thing I want to think about now is future presidential candidates, of either/any party. The dems have about but a lock on future elections. We'll see even greater growth of unions in government and health care. Imagine the size of the pension deficits we'll be sustaining. As California now is, the USA will soon become. Then we'll just ramp things up until we become like Greece--and sheer anarchy will reign.

Romney was a good candidate and this was a very good election effort. Various poling companies loudly proclaimed the democrat turnout would be different this season but the after the election results the TV land reality counts seemed wrong. The real problem was not the voters, counters or who was watching the counters. A firm owned by George Soros and operated in Spain took care of massaging the numbers. They did not have to follow the pundit’s theories because the rascals made up an alternate pro-Obama reality. The counters inserted facetious gross number and manipulated the results. (GIGO –Garbage in, Garbage out) No wonder the Dems weren’t worried. The results were preordained.
The company is called SCYTL. Look it up on Google. It is owned by George Soros and does many number counting jobs for the USA and the separate states.
Of course some people will deny fraud (with the flimsiest of excuses) but they denied the 1919 World Series, Fast and Furious and are currently trying to tell us that what we all know about Benghazi is the haze of war. “Walk on by folks, nothing to see here”
There was a haze of war with the elections and unless we adamantly protest it now, today, this election cycle, there will be no prospect for fair future elections. The count and recounts will always be phony but look perfect. (Just like Russia and Venezuela).
SCYTL, member the name.
The problem is. Who will investigate? Not the in the tank investigative reporters, the broadcast media, the NYT, the Department of Justice or the Attorney general? We have lost our voting voice and power; we are now subjects of the regimen.

#33, I'm all in. Neocommunists have been working on and refining how to control Presidential elections since 1960. Their job is done. We will never see an honest election in our lifetime. Who is going to reform it? Bush had 8 years and the huge setup of the Gore experience. Didn't count many military votes then and ever since. Now they are so proficient with the manipulation that they can depress or disappear millions of votes and every commentator goes to explanations of the low turnout that suggest no evangelicals, etc.
Meek, career politicians don't engage congress in a righteous fury about denying active military the vote and they even dare to do it themselves as a representative did when she voted TWICE. Combine that with unrestricted immigration that is so far gone that ILLEGAL aliens present cases to US courts. Thank you churches who 'sponsor' these criminals, thank you corrupt employers, and sanctuary mayors and democrat run cities. We lost America bit by bit since the networks elected JFK.

Not only a TERRIBLE line up...but even my Dem list that I posted on the other thread looks more appealing!!! But seriously, I do NOT want a bunch of the same old professional politicians who are all Washington insiders. They do NOT represent the people or our interests. I don't care if they are moderate, conservative or have an IQ at the level of Einstein or Honey BooBoo. I do NOT want any more insiders who are just in it for wealth and power and who have been playing corrupt games for years. I want a CLEAN person (I am not even concerned about how far right their ideology is anymore) who is HONEST, wants to get rid of corruption and believes in representing the interests of the people--not himself! But that is why Romney was defeated (with the help of both parties)...he wasn't an insider. He is not easily corruptable. He has integrity. He doesn't need more money or power.
I feel sick...

Patraeus should be on the block for Bhengazi along with Pinetta, Hitlery, an that pitiful excuse for a Commander-in-Chief Obama. The moment Patraeus even thinks about throwing his hat in the political ring, he will get hit square in the face with "Bhengazi". What goes around, comes around.

At a secret February ceremony at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., the chief of the CIA’s base in Benghazi the night of the 9/11 anniversary attacks there was awarded one of the agency’s highest intelligence medals, according to U.S. military and intelligence officials.The honor given behind closed doors to “Bob,” the officer who was in charge of the Benghazi intelligence annex and CIA base that was attacked in the early morning of September 12, 2012 and then abandoned for nearly three weeks, illustrates the murky lines of command that preceded the attack, and helped make it a politically volatile issue.

The Senate on Monday opened debate on a $955 billion farm bill that would reduce federal spending by as much as $23 billion over the next 10 years by cutting funding for food stamps and eliminating some farm-support programs. "This legislation will create jobs, cut taxpayer subsidies and reduce the deficit," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Monday. The White House offered only conditional support for the bill, an indication that lawmakers will need to make changes to win the president´s signature. The Obama administration in April called for a 3 percent reduction in the nation´s crop insurance program,

Journalists are understandably alarmed by the revelation that President Barack Obama´s Justice Department targeted Fox News reporter James Rosen during a leak investigation of a State Department employee. The news, reported by the Washington Post late Sunday night, reveals that the Obama administration will apparently stop at nothing to track down whistle-blowers who leak classified information. In Rosen´s case, that included implicating him as a "criminal co-conspirator" whose actions were punishable with up to 10 years in prison. While it is not uncommon for the government to investigate leaks, it is unprecedented for a journalist

The first lady went to Bowie State and addressed the graduating class. Her speech was a mix of black history and a salute to the graduates. (Snip) It takes a man of particular vision to know, as Obama did, that the country really was ready to send an African American to the White House. But I also think that some day historians will pore over his many speeches to black audiences. They will see a president who sought to hold black people accountable for their communities, but was disdainful of those who looked at him and sought the same.

And yes, I realize that headline is eight words too long. Peter Nicholas at the WSJ: The White House’s chief lawyer learned weeks ago that an audit of the Internal Revenue Service likely would show that agency employees inappropriately targeted conservative groups, a senior White House official said Sunday. That disclosure has prompted a debate over whether the president should have been notified at that time. In the week of April 22, the Office of the White House Counsel and its head, Kathryn Ruemmler, were told by Treasury Department attorneys

The Democratic candidates for mayor in New York are campaigning to win the support of the teachers union. They threaten to return the city to the horrors of the David Dinkins era. Back at the turn of the 1990s, New York City was a mess. Crime was rampant. The schools were dreadful. Children in foster care were brutalized because–as the head of the Child Welfare Agency said–”oversight is racist.” The mayor was an incompetent. And, above all, the city was run for the benefit of its employees rather than its citizens. What followed was 20 years of governance

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
