Noting but MSM hype...looks like the Dems are hoping Mitt runs again, I'm hoping he doesn't. Mitt isn't close to being a frontrunner and I am totally surprised that Paul appears to be on top!
..."Analysis of a nationwide poll of GOP voters by CNN doesn't include Romney. But they also asked these voters if they would consider "someone else." That "someone else" got six percent, less than half of the total amassed by front-runner Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. That "someone else" was a few points lower than a CNN poll taken at the end of last year. And it assumes that every undecided voter would go for Romney, when there were other viable candidates not on the list....
...But there's another group that benefits from a Romney candidacy: Democrats.
Lost in the hype that Romney would defeat Obama in a rematch is the same CNN poll revealing that Hillary Clinton would hammer Mitt Romney 55 percent to 42 percent. He fares no better against the Democrat front-runner than a host of other GOP nominees, and worse than some, despite having a lot more money and name recognition.
The media has given up trying to discredit GOP congressional candidate ahead of the 2014 election and are now focusing on Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. That signals they have given up hope of keeping the Senate. They seem to be focusing more on Paul because he seems to appeal to more people. I don't think the media believe Romney will run so they are trying to convince him to run with all these stories about beating Obama.
I don't see Romney making another run for President. Honestly I don't see any real contenders for either party which would make a good President right now.

Nailed it!
It's also why they're focusing on 2016, they know Nov will be total defeat of the leftist message. It's all distraction, we still have two years to go, and God only knows who the chosen one would be.
Yet these idiots are trying to get us to focus on 2016? :lol:

Yes and the loafers, the blazer, the shirt, creased slacks etc.
In 2012 an old bat insisted that Willard's demeanor and grooming
was infallible proof of his conservatism. These are the type of lo-fo
morons the establishment depends on to stay in power.

Troll alert. Conflating the few but real, decent conservatives with the likes of Hillary Biden & Warren.

Would you accept a Cabinet seat? I bet Billy wants Secretary of War. Taxed in Treasury. I can see Giles at either HHS or DOJ. Howzabout a run at State?

One that grows at an even rate and in the same direction. One patch on my right side over the ear grows a different way, and WITHOUT EXCEPTION, even when I tell the barber to watch out for it, they invariably cut it wrong and the whole side bristles outward like a well-goosed possum. It simply isn't possible to get a good haircut.
In my life I have had to endure short haircuts or allow it to go hippie-long just so the weight of the hair allows it to be "trained" to lay as I want it to. Not that I need many haircuts these days, but I'm not QUITE at comb-over country. When I get there, I already have the clippers and will then do my own hair.

We should get rid of HHS, along with Education and Energy. The problem with me running DOJ is Obama is going to pardon all the people I want to put behind bars, before I was even sworn in. Trust me on this. If the Dems lose in 2016, Obozo will let every one off before 20 January 2017 - and you thought Clinton was the "Mad Pardoner".

Well, think of the damage you can PREVENT. I don't argue the two DOEs, but do feel a limited need for HHS to actually care for those we cannot or will not care for as individuals. Visiting a state hospital back in the warehousing days showed the importance of smaller-scale facilities, but then the state started telling relatives how to care for relatives --- and the SEIU got into it --- and the system all went to hell. I think you'd be good at improving that.
Bert of course would be Director of Communications. Once sworn in, I plan to give him a brand new trampoline for those two sisters....
Walks, I read the exchange on hair to N and she had to explain your post to me. Forgot about nose and ears. And the wandering eyebrow hair that waves like a Brooklyn Dodgers fan in every mild breeze.

In this life we can learn many things but leadership, an intangible, isn't one of them.
Those who possess that attribute rise to the occasion and seize the moment.

Now that has some appeal to it. The idea of all those public workers who are Obama lovers being out on the street warms my heart. So does collapsing all those home prices in the suburbs around DC. :cry:

I have always had a short crew cut as long as I can remember, and that young man is a very long time. Now it's # one up the sides and # two across the top. I think I may have had long hair for a week once, as it was two inches long once.
