Stay or go. These people are proving that they are cut from the same cloth as their so called "opposition". Again we face an election cycle that is totally devoid of leadership. Once in Washington they will forget about us and think only of the people who supported and funded them with billions and those who gave from the heart,$5, $10 or $50 will soon be forgotten. It's time for a change and that is not the change the present administration brought us. Nothing has changed and nothing will until WE change and change the system enough so it is not a refuge for charlatans, mountebanks and carpet-baggers. For the American people it all boils down to the same thing again "The lesser of two evils," or "The devil you know better than the one you don't". 2004 all over again. Corporate American will pick the president again as usual. Whoever best serves their corporate handlers will get the call. But the POTUS is only part of the problem. The Congress is a do nothing Congress again and their incompetence threatens the very fabric of the nation. We need a complete overhaul. A third party is the only way we will be able to break this partisan gridlock. If we continue down the same road we will wind up, sooner or later, with Ineptocracy (in-ept-oc-ra-cy) - a system of government whereby the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
I hate to be a pessimist but when the government has stage four cancer and is in denial there is little to be optimistic about. The system, so it appears, is no longer self correcting.

Santorum is going to reap the rewards of Bachmann and (likely) Perry dropping out, but New Hampshire is only 2% evangelical so he's not going to be able to depend on that factor. If the "Not Romney" voters go to Huntsman, then he's going to be able to reintroduce himself to the nation. If "Not Romney" gravitates to Santorum, then Huntsman will have miscalculated and he'll have a Giuliana 08' situation on his hands. I don't think Newt has anything going for him in New Hampshire. When he comes up dead last, then it'll be time for him to reassess his candidacy. http://www.northamericanmissions.org/files/From%2035000%20to%2015000%20Feet%20%20Evangelical%20Statistics%20in%20the%20US%20and%20Canada.pdf On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 11:39 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: 1/4/2012 8:37:14 A.M.

I think Huntsman is an interesting guy who may have centrist leanings.

At least according to some pundits in no other state does RP have factors in his favor that he had in Iowa. Santorum probably won't do better in NH than Huckabee did in 2008 ( 11 % ) Bachmann out. Perry likely out also. Huntsman out after NH unless he does surprisingly well. -------------------------------------------------------------- Caucus Results 10:58 AM ET | 100% reporting Candidate Votes Percent Delegates* Mitt Romney 30,015 24.6% — Rick Santorum 30,007 24.5+ — Ron Paul 26,219 21.4 — Newt Gingrich 16,251 13.3 — Rick Perry 12,604 10.3 — Michele Bachmann 6,073 5.0 — Others 1,086 0.9 — Jon Huntsman 745 0.6 -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
