Which candidates would you not vote for under any circumstances?
Posted on January 17th, 2008 at 8:17 pm by Jason Wright, EditorAn interesting thing happened in Wal-Mart today. Not only did I have to watch out for falling prices and stop my children from sneaking stuff into my cart, but I ran into a good friend from church. How long did it take for politics to come up? 2.36 seconds.
The topic? Which candidates would my friend not vote for under any circumstances. It was a fascinating discussion that forced us to evaluate the balance between good, better and best. But most importantly, at what point is a candidate so wrong, so removed from your ideology or sense of morality, that you simply can’t pull the lever for them — even if they share your favorite letter. (R or D)
Are you a republican who couldn’t vote for Rudy if he were the nominee? Are you a democrat who’d rather stay home than support Hillary in the general?
Time to tell us which way you lean (R, D, Indy) and which candidates would you not vote for and why.

Registered Republican, politically moderate, leans left on social issues, right on fiscal and somewhere in between on foreign policy. Likes long walks on the beach, dark chocolate, a nice Irish whiskey, and watching sports.
Will not vote for Hillary Clinton or Mike Huckabee.
Why not? What is it about both that makes them impossible to vote for?
(And your profile looks familiar, have I seen you on Match.com?)
Oh, forgot to add why.
Hillary - When I was young and dumb I voted for a Clinton. I won’t make that mistake again, mostly because I’m not as young anymore.
Huckabee - I’ve had about enough of candidates endorsed by anyone associated with Bob Jones University. See Bush, George W for an example.
As for me, there’s no dem I could vote for, period. And not because I’m a knee-jerk republican, but the current crop are all socialists.
So among the repubs, I wouldn’t for Rudy or McCain under any circumstances, and the more Huckabee wears his religion on his lips, the more he scares me.
Rudy I can understand, why no McCain?
You want the whole list or just the top ten? Seriously, he loves calling himself a straight talker, a guy not afraid to tell the truth, and somehow he thinks that insulates him from criticism when he’s wrong. He’s wrong on tax cuts, immigration, campaign finance reform (have we forgotten the Supreme Court threw out much of McCain-Feingold because it was unconstitutional?) and he’s become a liberal on many environmental policies. I’ve been in meetings with prominent republicans in DC who’ve told me a McCain presidency scares them more than any other, because they fear he’ll spend the first 100 days exacting revenge on conservatives.
Oh, and he’s older than sand.
Not Hillary, Not Huckabee, Not Rudy, Not Romney
Maybe McCain, depends who he is running against.
I tend to agree with you on most of the points, the only thing I don’t always get is the tax cuts.
I’m fine with tax cuts, but I think it depends on who the tax cuts are for and there needs to be spending cuts that go along with it.
A tax cut while fighting and funding an unpopular war in a Vietnam-esqe scenario seems like rubbing baby oil on yourself and laying out on the beach when you already have sun poisoning.
I’m a registered republican, but not too impressed with the republican party as of late. I’m conservative with some libertarian tendencies. My claim to fame is my college roommate … long live casa de hombres!
I have no reservations about Romney or Thompson. I’d vote for Rudy over any Democrat. I’d have a harder time with the Huckster or McCain. The more we hear of Huck’s record in AR, the less conservative he sounds and McCain has been on the wrong side of too many issues with his friends Finegold and Kennedy (campaign finance, immigrant amnesty, taxes, etc.).
I wouldn’t have a problem supporting a democrat, but I could never pull the lever for a liberal; and that’s pretty much all the dems candidates of today. All favor government healthcare, support the status quo on social security, and never met a tax increase they didn’t like. Maybe if Zell Miller ran …
Kaiser, I knew it! “…rubbing baby oil on yourself and laying out on the beach…” I HAVE seen you on Match.com!
I could never vote for Giuliani - he’s a joke. He’s a Republican with no morals and he is not electable as such!
Also on my list is McCain - because of his views on Illegal Immigration, the War in Iraq (he’d have us over there much longer than necessary), and he admits that he knows very little about foreign policy.
Then there is Huckabee - I can’t believe he’s even made it this far! He knows too little about a lot and has few merits.
I don’t like the “socialized medicine” ideas of the Dems but I could see myself going that direction if our one hope in a Republican does not become the nominee.
Wright, even if I do admit to your insinuation, I want to know what you wife would think about you checking out guy’s profiles on Match.com?
Hmmmmm?
Dems- NOT. HILLARY. The woman scares me to no end, and it’s about time that we have a president who’s not Clinton or Bush.
Kucinich gets a nod here too- no one will take the leprachan seriously.
Reps- Romney. The more conservative people get, the more I get scared (See: Bush, George W.).
Left-leaning Libertarian. Cannot vote for Social Conservatives, Iraq war supporters, or cadidates who want to escalate the criminalization of vice (drugs, prostitution, gambling). Romney, Huckabee, Giuliani, Thompson, and McCain are right out.
That leaves Paul (I wish, but not happening), Hillary and Obama. Hillary and Obama are about equally poor, but possibly better than the alternatives.
Oh and I’m an Independent, though I’m registered Republican so I can vote in Primaries.
Hey David - I play soccer and I’m partial to Guiness and Murphy’s. What are you doing Friday night?
And Jason, what are you doing on match.com?
This sounds like that Moment of Truth show:
I am a registered Republican (from a family of staunch Democrats–my dad even ran for office as one).
My positions are conservative on social issues, more or less fiscally conservative, foreign policy mildly hawkish.
Could not vote for Hillary, Obama, or Edwards if you paid me. I want less gov’t, not more. I want better market economy, not socialism. I want a free republic with an ability to handle a vigorous exchange of ideas, not the PC-crowd legislating every iota of my life.
I am pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-market, pro-citizenship, pro-energy indpendence.
Strong reservations about McCain & Guliani for different reasons.
Mild reservations about Huckabee, Romney
And I’m just wild about Ron Paul (not really, just wanted to say that at some point on this blog)
Which area is the most important to all of you?
1) Security/Foreign policy
2) Economy issues
3) Social issues like abortion & gay marriage
If it’s 1, then McCain & Rudy show the best
If it’s 2, then Mitt seems to step ahead
If it’s 3, then pick Huckabee or Thompson
The down side is that outside of their strong areas, these guys have some serious downsides in the other categories.
Eddy - in response to your question, the Economy is the biggest issue to me as it should be for ALL of us Americans as we are on the brink of a recession, but technically I believe we are already there!
could never ever vote for Ron Paul. Less offensive, but still unvotable are Romney, Huckabee, Giuliani, or Thompson. Would like to be able to vote for McCain, but having difficulty after his 100 years in Iraq comments. Wouldn’t vote for Hillary under any circumstances, except against the extremely poor Republican field. Pretty sad that I’m even considering it, but there is not a single decent Republican candidate (with the POSSIBLE exception of McCain, who I would at least struggle with). Would not vote for Gravel, and, sadly, would not vote for Kucinich, because I think someone who pushes as hard as he does ends up doing damage to progressive causes while not getting anything done, as opposed to someone who pushes more softly and at least gets something incremental done.
Hillary - no way, no how. I can’t imagine a situation in which I could ever vote for her. Same goes for the current crop of Dems. They really are all the same candidate - - bigger government, quasi-socialism, increased spending, Robinhood economics, open borders, and in my opinion, anti-American in a lot of ways. Of course, Hillary has her very own special set of negatives outside of policy.
On the Reps side, I could live with any of them. There’s aspects of each that I really don’t care for. But the Dems scare me much more. All in all, not in love with any one candidate and still not sure who I would vote for.
Kaiser and RedStateEddio: Let’s just say I was doing “research” for my next book. And maybe if they get one more plug (match.com!) they’ll sponsor us and keep the lights on!
I think I am leaning towards economy as first, security second, and social a close third. Which leans me towards Romney over McCain or Huckabee. But Huckabee alongside of him would shore up the social piece, and could seal the deal for me. McCain is just too liberal, which is why he polls so well versus the Dems. Same for Rudy, despite the “Mr. Security” label.
Do the Reps technically win the presidency if McCain wins it all? Or do liberals celebrate a guy who is in many ways just like them?
So THAT’s how you pay the bills, huh?
With titles already like “The Christmas Jars” and “The Wednesday Letters” (which my wife is currently reading), you could call the next one “The Ugly Mug”.
Match.com!
“The Ugly Mug” - Ka-ching! I love that title. That’s a great match.com with the plot…
Do you think you’ll be able to match.com the quality of your previous works?
For those of you that don’t like McCain, Huck, Rudy or any of the other Reps that don’t fit the traditional GOP mold - - - - what would you do faced with the alternative of a Hillary presidency?
Rudy vs. Hillary
McCain vs. Hillary
Huck vs. Hillary
No viable 3rd party candidate. You pick from one of the two or sit home. What’s it going to be?
Probably not, I suspect you could light a match.com to the newest manuscript.
I will always vote against Hillary. The possibility of the Dysfunctional Duo in the White House scares me incredibly because of the damage they could do to the country long term, So I am inclined to vote for whichever Republican is against her.
If it comes down to simply picking which candidate is able to beat Hillary the best, I feel we’ve lost the battle of principles already. But I’d still pick any Rep over her any day.
Your wit and repartee are just matchless.com…or is that match.com-less?
(I snuck 2 in there for good measure. Your ad man will love you)
game, set, match.com!! sorry, was too happy with myself not to interrupt
I’m a centrist, could not vote for most of them, what about bloomberg?
I could never vote for Hillary! For mostly the same reasons that everyone else has posted. We could do better for our first female pres than a woman who had her obligatory child (or so it seems since she doesn’t appear to have an ounce of motherly instinct) and sticks with her not-so-loyal husband to save face for a chance at her evil diabolical plan to become president because it’s what she’s wanted to do since she was a wee lass, not because she would actually be good for the job.
Obama is pretty scary too but I like that he isn’t Hillary.
The more Huckabee portrays himself as the Pastor in Chief the more I don’t like him because he seems so excluding of those who don’t practice religion the way he seems to think everyone should. Then there are all those matters as Arkansas’s governor.
For the other republicans, it’s just a matter of specific political points, but they even out across the board.
The uniform I once wore
And the pledge that I swore
Means I will vote for somebody
As long as it is not a dead body.
I keep a coin. It is fair.
I have the list, also there.
I tend to be a voter on the right
But, after W and others, I ain’t tight.
To ask your crowd, your friends
Is rhetorical, but just for grins
We are all political junkies and do
Vote when all the campaign is through.
Key is what we this time WILL NOT DO
That is the larger question for you…
We may vote right, but not fight
We might not give $$ or campaign all night.
Whodat say he’s votin, but not totin’ signs and sure not givin money to these clowns
I am a Reg. Dem and will not ever, ever vote for a Rep. I will not as a Dem. vote for Edwards. My favorite is Ms Clinton. We need a woman there for a change, anyone is better than what we have now.
Hi…38 mm Repub with no profile on match.com
I would not vote for Hillary. Since I have been a legal adult (20 years), only people named Bush and Clinton have been elected president. Surely America has more than 2 families that can produce a president. I’m not opposed to a woman president, only to Hillary.
The only Democrat candidate I would have voted for was Biden. I have no intent to vote for Obama but I can at least understand why some would support him.
On the Republican side- the only candidate I would definitely not vote for is Romney. I call it a gut feeling. When Bill Clinton was elected, I felt physically sick for days,and felt it again every time I saw him speaking. I get the same sick feeling when I see Romney speaking. So even though his policy stands are right on, I’m trusting my gut on this one.
It’s not just about ideas. Mario Cuomo was as liberal as Hillobama, but I loved to hear him speak.
I would support any of the other Republican candidates including Ron Paul, but Huckabee is my preference.
Off the topic, I am in favor of amnesty for 12 million immigrants and providing a pathway to citizenship. Anyone who thinks that 12 million people can be deported and go to “the back of the line” are deluded and that seems to include all Republican candidates.
“Research” eh? That’s what Pete Townshend said.
Idea though, I bet we can get match.com to sponsor the Vice Presidential power rankings. After all, the nominee will be looking for that perfect “match” as their running-mate!
I have registered and voted for both parties, but I lean right and am currently registered as a Republican.
I could never vote for Clinton or Edwards for all the reasons everyone else has said. I could vote for Obama if the Republican nominee is Huckabee, whom I equate with Bill Clinton. With the exception of social issues he is more to the left than Bill was. Any other Republican I could vote for, with varying degrees of distaste. I hope I can vote for McCain.
Mr. Kaiser,
I agree with you about not wanting to vote for amyone associated with Bob Jones University but you need a bit of hel pon the facts-Bob Jones III endorsed Mitt not Huck.
Todd - I actually knew that, but Huckabee is playing the religion card in his campaign, while Romney is not.
It is more of the fact that Huck scares me, whereas Romney just annoys me.
That said, I probably should have been a little clearer. Thanks for pointing it out!
I am a registered Republican in the “old-school style” (i.e.- Calvin Coolidge). I could never vote for a socialist/democrat, or John McCain. The man is gainst political free-speech, tax cuts, boarder control- the list goes on.
I also could not vote for Rudy- personal issues, pro-choice, but most of all his love for power, are all things that would make very uncomfortable with President Rudy.
I like that Huck wants to implement the Fair Tax (not perfect but better than having the IRS), but he’s got a lot of negatives, as most of you have pointed out.
I don’t like Romney, he’s a little better than McCain or Rudy, and yet he supports government health-care and other extensions of federal power (like No-Child-Left-Behind).
That leaves Paul and Thompson- and neither of them are getting the nomination. I might be able to swallow the throw-up in my mouth and vote for the Huckster or Romney, but I may very well end up voting for a third party (non-viable though it may be) in the end.
I happen to know that Match.com banned Mr. Wright for “virtual loitering”. Just put down the mouse Jason, and slowly back away.
I’m definitely conservative, that used to be Republican, Right? Could never vote for the socialist big three on the Dem’s side, for the same reasons as most of you. McCain is honest, just very wrong most of the time. I’m leaning toward Romney becuase the man really can lead, make changes and bring a business sense that politicians just can’t seem to get into their brains. Not real fond of Huck’s record or his religious overtones.
Can’t vote for Hillary after Eddio’s comment about her being lickable.
Can’t vote for Edwards or Obama
Can’t vote for Paul even though I agree much with what he says.
Can’t vote for Rudy or Mitt
That only leaves me McCain, Huckleberry, and Thompson, and I don’t like the first two.
After Fred get’s illiminated this week I am in a bind.
I couldn’t vote for Obama, Edwards, Clinton, Huckster, McCain, or Rudy. All just make me sick. No more family dynasties, no “older than sand”, definitely no one who wants to re-write the constitution to read like (or BE) the bible, and no to a guy who has determined that there are American’s who he doesn’t need (i.e. only needs FL’ans, NY’ers, CA’ans.)
My preference is Romney, hoping that he would pull the country back into the black (AC/DC playing in background) and teach a little fiscal responsibility to a country who seems to have forgotten that you can’t be the world’s richest country if you don’t have any money of your own. I am looking to his corporate experience more than anything. But I like his values also. He comes across phony at times, but he is a politician. Show me one who is not phony. We have seen that all of them will say anything for a vote.
I have deliberated how I will cast my vote if I don’t like any of the candidates but have not come to any conclusion. Will I vote for the one I dislike the least, withhold my vote, or write in someone I do like? Mickey Mouse may get my vote, no, Donald Duck. I guess I will have to make that decision later.
Coming out of lurkning to comment….
I’ve been a registered Rep since I was 18. My grandfather was a very good friend of Barry Goldwater and I grew up in the Arizona political scene.
Saying that and being one who also lived in a communist/socialized country for a time, I cannot vote for someone who wants to nationalize/socialize every thing — it just doesn’t work. When people take care of themselves everything turns out better, sorry to Hillary! Obama and Edwards (although I am glad for Dennis Kucinich, he makes me laugh).
On the GOP side, all of the antics of W, and the Republicans formerly known as Congress, have made me embarassed and sad to be associated with the GOP.
I don’t like the current mantra “Change for the sake of Change”, which many of the candidates seem to spout. That can lead to dangerous times, which I believe we are headed for anyway, but why shoot ourselves in the foot heading into the dark abyss.
McCain really needs to go back to the old folks home with his mother. Oh then there was that little bitty bill that he did with Kennedy last summer on immigration that bugs me (so much for the hometown hero). And now, he’s for the Bush tax cuts, before he was against them? Seems a little fiip-floppy to me.
Huckabee is scary (see recent changing the Constitution to the will of God comments), and from Arkansas and too much like Clinton, in the way he presents himself and campaigns for my tastes. And since it’s been Bush-Clinton-Bush and posibly a real Clinton since forever, I can’t even entertain voting for a pseudo Clinton. I’ll vote for dead Elivs before I vote for Huck.
Guiliani’s social policies bug me, but I’ve had to accept the fact that abortion is here to stay and gay-marriage/civil unions are on the way. However, I could vote for him based off of his record as mayor and his record during 9/11.
I love Fred, but I don’t see that happeneing. Besides, I really miss him on Law & Order…go back to L&O. please.
Finally….the candidate I really want to see…is Mitt. Supporting him was a long time in coming, but the more I studied him, the more I looked at what he has done in business, the more I like him. His values are similar to mine, and I like the fact that I think he lives what he believes. Also in the face of inappropriate, prying questions (see 60 Minutes and Mike Wallace’s questions regarding pre-marital sex), and general stupidity about his religon he’s been gracious and forgiving.
Approved list: Paul
Possible vote list: Thompson, Romney
No way in Hell list: Any one with a D after their name. Anyone named McCain, Huck, or Rudy
I think pdiddy gets the Match.com trophy. Good work, but I think your name is actually just Diddy now.
David,
Thanks for being straight up in admitting you tried to hang Bob Jones around Huck’s neck just to prive a point, not because it was true.
I have given public speeches before on the racist evils of Bob Jones University and was thrilled that Bob Jones could find no common ground with Huck.
In fact, back when Huck was a pastor, he faced down some leaders in his own church to integrate his congregation.
There may be a host of reasons for not liking Huck, but associating him with Southern bigotry is not one of them.
Not sure if this is just primary or general election related. But I’d like to ask about the general.
I ask again - - there’s so many of you with a very robust NO VOTE list. The common thread I see is that Hillary and the Dems are automatically on that list. But what if Hillary is facing a GOP candidate on your list in the general - Huck, McCain, Rudy??
Last time I checked, Mickey Mouse didn’t have an economic policy nor a plan to fix the border. In 2008, voting 3rd party is the equivalent of voting for Mickey Mouse. Do you sit this one out, throw away your vote, or swallow the aforementioned vomit in your mouth - - and vote anti-Hillary??? If both choices suck, which one sucks less?
No Democrat would ever get my vote.
No Romney, Paul, Hunter, Huckabee (only if he’s the only one running)
My Tops are:
Rudy
McCain
I am a Republican.
I will not vote for John McCain or Mike Huckabee.
“Last time I checked, Mickey Mouse didn’t have an economic policy nor a plan to fix the border.”
What a coincidence, because last time I checked, neither does McCain!
New Definition: Electile Dysfunction, the inability to become arroused by any candidate of either party offered in 2008 for President.
That said; Keep in mind that the lesser of two evils is still…evil.
Straight up who would this Republican *never* vote for? Rudy, Mitt, Hillary, or Edwards
Other than that, things are on the table
Todd - Point taken, but the idea behind the Huck/Bob Jones reference was meant to associate him with religious fanaticism, not Southern bigotry.
But like I said, I can see how I was not clear!
Thanks for reading.
I am a Republican. I would under no circumstances vote for any candidate currently in the race except Huckabee or Hunter. Of course, Hunter has no chance of winning whatsoever, so he really doesn’t count. The only Democrat I would have considered voting for was Biden, but he’s long gone. The others are just too liberal and too inexperienced. Here’s why I would not vote for any Repubs but Huck or Hunter:
Thompson–Dirty Old Man
Rudy–Immoral; he can’t keep his family together, so how could he possibly run the country
Paul–A real nutcase
McCain–Too old; left first wife for another
Romney–He’s a Mormon and one arrogant jerk; wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped him in the face
I would also never vote for Bloomberg–too liberal
“electile disfunction” … I’m sure thats not new, but its still hilarious. I gotta admit, I’m not overly aroused by any of these either.
I could not/would not vote for any of the current dems running.
I agree with “Whodat” when he says that he will always vote for somebody. Regardless of the candidates, there is always one who would be (if only slightly) better. I can’t comprehend people who say that they just won’t vote at all.
That having been said, I’ll vote for the most conservative candidate, regardless of their level of conservatism. That means that, even though I am strongly against McCain, for instance, I’d still take him in a hearbeat over any of the three DemoSocialists running.
I have just seen the CNN clip where Huckabee calls the constitution a “living, breathing document.” Not only is that an Al Gore quote, it directly contradicts what Huckabee says on his own website under “Judges”.
The Huckster has fallen into the list of candidates I will not vote for.
Has the quality of candidates we have to choose from finally fallen to the point where we have to pick the one least loathsome?
Jason, you mentioned how quickly discussion with your friend from church shifted to which, (and how many), candidates elicit a strong “no way, Jose’ (or Josette)”. Reading through these postings, I find their “good, better, and best” evaluations emerging more like,”so-so, bad, and wretched”.
I have always been an Indy/R who voted Reagan thru Gee Dubya - R, while watching the quality of each successive choice descending in value by half, or worse, with each election cycle, (even when it was a re-election option).
“The lesser of two evils, is still evil”,(author unknown), but even spun positively, “The better of two weasels, are still weasels”, (author, me). Our fiscal hen-house has been watched by sell-outs of both parties, and the performance polls on the president, (at or near record lows), vice- prez, (even worse), and congress, (only slightly more D than R, and at record lows), reveals how the people are beginning to realize that their nest-eggs are being eaten now that the hens have been devoured.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who actually presents remedies that could possibly help us overcome our unfolding economic collapse. No one else of either party is willing to even partially admit how bad it really is, much less try to effectively correct it.
Horace once wrote, “Man learns more readily and remembers more willingly what excites his ridicule than what deserves esteem and respect.” Contributors here have offered many reasons why the other candidates have earned their ridicule, rather than explaining why Ron Paul should fail to have their esteem and respect.
Rusty - Glad I could influence you away from voting for Hillary (read “the darkness”), any means necessary. Thinking that word while watching that phony campaign commercial a few blogs ago should cure you from ever having the impulse to vote for her.
Glad to serve the greater good…
Promise Kept: Very well said. As for Paul, I think there are quite a few of us here that do feel esteem and respect for the Congressman. I can’t speak for the others, but it seems to me from conversations we’ve had that most just don’t view him as electable. While he might make a fine president, he’ll never get that chance and we all know it, whether we like it or not.
I do respect Ron Paul, even though I don’t agree with him on everything, I think he’s right most of the time and I’d love to see what he could do for the budget, tax code and federal regulation if he were president. But his support is proving to be softer than even pundits like yours truly predicted.
The last time I even thought of voting for a Democrat in the Primary it was for Teddie.. and I was in 7th grade.
I could never vote for a Democrat.
As for the Pubs…
Can’t vote for:
Alan Keyes - Too far off the deep end
Duncan Hunter - No traction.. and he’s gone
John McCain - Just too cozy to Ted
Mike Huckabee - Too religious
Mitt Romney - Too much like Kerry
Rudy Giuliani - Liberal Lite
Which leaves only two candidates:
Ron Paul - Best fits my Constitutional beliefs
Fred Thompson - Could be Reagan.. if he gets off his butt.
Jason - yes, I agree that if economic issues were THE ONLY major issues, I think Ron Paul would be higher on my list. Maybe not the final pick, but worth considering. Hearing him talk about fiscal restraint is a breath of fresh air. And he lays it out with more conviction and clarity than most of the others. If I (and the general population) have to live within a budget, why can’t Washington?
But there’s more to it than just those issues, and that lowers my inclinations for Paul. That’s why when Huck talked about fair tax, that caught my attention. because he had traction in the polls as well as ideas that sounded positive for the economy.
Jason thanks for the respectful reply, but I was looking for your thoughts more than “feelings” about “esteem and respect for the Congressman”, and some collective “view” about Ron Pauls’ electability.
Since you brought the subject up, during the recent Fox GOP debate in SC, Carl Cameron challenged Ron Paul to defend his belief that he had any. During what many believe to be the best answer given by any candidate to any direct question during that debate, Ron Paul questioned him back as to why Republicans should be expected to not want his policies on defending civil liberties with less intrusive government, sound money, non-interventionist foreign policy, etc. as his mentor, “Mr. Republican”, Robert Taft modeled years ago.
In an action not beneath what we’ve come to expect from Fox News, they censored that question and reply from their YouTube site. It seems apparent they didn’t want his brilliant and passionate reply to, in any way, change the view of him they had so deeply invested in distorting.
Ron Pauls’ text-poll win that night of 33%, and winning more votes than Giuliani and Thompson combined in Michigan may be softer support than we would like, but, hey, with the largest, individually funded, debt-free, Republican campaign around, we’ll manage to hang in there somehow. Besides, we’ll have our big MLK Day fund-raiser to further replenish our surplus. See it here:

Never;Clinton,Obama,Edwards,McCain,and Huckabee. I will vote for Romney or Thompson. I am a Republican and a Dittohead. Ron Paul and the Ronulans are reliving some Woodstock fantasy. Rudy and his stratagy for election is a no go for me. I was hoping for Newt to enter the primaries. I also like Colin Powell and Condi Rice, but each was never elected. My dream ticket is Limbaugh/Malkin which will never happen. Only 26 more days till Pitchers and Catchers. Go Phillies!
