    Holy crap. Please give me a decent Republican candidate. PLEASE. All these bible beating, grits and gravy r****ds are making me sick. We NEEEEEEED some sort of sanity to come from the right this election. To give Republicans a more intellectual voice, anything. The aspects of the right that I do agree with are just not represented the way they should be.

    It is astonishing that a guy as dumb as Huckabee even makes it this far. Astonishing...

    If you havent noticed, its the liberals who are obsessed about Palin, not the conservatives.

    I imagine if one would scratch out the "R" next to these candidates names and pencil in a "D", they would automatically go from Chump to Champ.

    That explains why guys Dennis Kunicich have done so well in the Dem primaries when they've run.

    Scott Walker is an interesting candidate - he doesn't seem to know how to lose.

    He's dead in the water outside of Iowa.

    By next Jan or Feb, he might also be dead inside Iowa. Not sure if his network will endure this time.

    You're the guys that put her in position to be Vice President of the United States. Still as hilarious today as it was back then.

    Yep! Republicans know how to pick em.' Walker couldn't even finish college. He's perfect as a conservative standard-bearer.

    He didn't finish college, yet he has more executive experience than Obama when he ran. I know plenty of intelligent people who didn't finish college. There's no reason to be arrogant about it.

    Pay no attention to mcmark. He has a 100k liberal arts degree from a prestige college. He is clearly more intelligent than Walker and anyone else that has not completed college.

    A representative democracy should not be filtering candidates based on arbitrary educational criteria to the exclusion of other factors and attributes. As much as some like to clamor that "demographics is destiny" that would actually disqualify very large swaths of the populace.

    Would you vote for a qualified conservative atheist?
    Would you vote for a qualified conservative pot smoker?
    Would you vote for a qualified conservative Muslim?

    How silly... A ****ing probation officer requires a 4 year degree and you are telling me the highest executive position in the country doesn't need one?

    your innocent if you think we have a representative democracy. last time i looked at congress it was filled with rich people from fancy universities. but last time i looked at my neighborhood im kinda glad a large chunk of them would be disqualified because they are really dumb. i prefer rich and college educated people running the show instead of them.

    i like what gary johnson, george pataki and jill stein have to say.

    Only guy I'd vote for is Paul. I wouldn't bother to vote for anybody else.
