Today's Declareds Handicapping

Governor Mitt Romney declared yesterday that he is a candidate for President of the United States (Yawn).   Though I suppose I am going to have to place Former Senator Rick Santorum soon, I going to re-juggle the matrix. 
Handicapping the current crop of Republican Declared Candidates it looks like this:
1.        Governor Tim Pawlenty -  I think that there could be the undercurrent of President Calvin “Quiet Cal” Coolidge here – he’s the guy who saved America from the Depression that President Woodrow Wilson (D – demonic socialist) put us in.  Coolidge is the reason there was a “Roaring Twenties” and not lingering economic devastation.  Pawlenty could be a Coolidge in 2012. 
2.        Former CEO Herman Cain – Handles the “mainstream” media like the buffoons that they are.  I’m liking him more – but still a distant second.
3.       Governor Mitt Romney – Sneaks in at third place.  I’m not sure yet whether he is reliably conservative (I think not) though I do like governors better than legislators for Presidential candidates.  We have a plausible excuse now for Romney-care that I’m still mulling over.   
4.       Former Speaker Newt Gingrich – too cerebral.  Shot himself in the foot (mouth?) coming out of the gate.  Moves to number four.  
As Before – that is the end of the serious candidates. 
5.        Congressman Ron Paul – Seriously – Ron Paul? 
6.       Governor Gary Johnson – Legalize marijuana?  What party did you say you were in? 
I am not particularly despondent about this field but only because I could (and would) support Tim Pawlenty if he is on my ballot in August.  With that said – I’m still rooting for Governor Rick Perry to lead a ticket with Former Ambassador John Bolton as his running mate.  Enemies of the United States of America would wet themselves.

  1. Romney's on your short list? See my blog for my opinion on that boob. I am watching Perry in Texas. He might be a good one, but I dislike anyone the press likes as a matter of principle. Cain is still looking like my preferred choice of the declareds.

  2. Amigo,
    So far I like Herman Cain. He calls it as it is. The fact that he is no politcian is a plus for me. How that translates to getting a coalition together and getting elected is another issue.

    This cycle, the media won't be picking our candidate.
