Brobin,

You are right, he has not lost an election in PA. Can’t argue that. ROTFLMAO.

Again, nothing more annoying than arguing facts.

Maryland, not PA, brobin.

Also, according to Fox, Newt ain’t running. Steele is.

According to Wikipedia, Steele hasn’t lost an election for state office within Pennsylvania. He was, however, defeated in his bid to represent the state of Pennsylvania in the United States Senate. Before that, he was the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania.

Steele has lost a state election. Period. Don’t like it at all. Could he win a next one — yes.

Nice to see liberal Democrats throwing Oreos at him. I can’t imagine that happening to a Democrat without major NYT coverage.

NK, The Bushes aren't real conservatives. They are good benchwarmers who get to play when no one else is available. daytrader, I think Fred wants to run for President again. He's already started laying the groundwork.

#26 Robert Rodriguez:

THe fact he has already lost a state race

He didn’t: He lost a very close Senate race in a state where an R shouldn’t have had any chance at all.

As a speaker and presenter, he makes the O!ne look like an illiterate clod~and he isn’t as polarizing a figure as Gingrich is to the left. He is also an experienced organizer of the type needed for the job.

To be honest, I don’t really have a dog in this fight~but if the Repub party is going to claim to represent me, they need to get their friggin’ act together if they can’t wallop the snot out of a pair of empty suits like O!bama/Biden.

I disagree that Newt was forced out of the Speaker’s chair, and Congress.
He had taken the position with his caucus that if they suffered losses in the off-year election, he would step down. They did, and he did; and he resigned his seat because he felt he could more easily articulate his positions if he was out of Congress rather than sitting on a back-bench (again).

Those are the two main candidates but there are also a couple of minor league types in the running.

I have even seen a couple of reports that The Fred is considering tossing his hat into the ring.

He probably won’t take it, but the rep. from Wisconsin (Paul Ryan) has been impressive in laying out the GOP’s traditional stances on fiscal and personal responsibility for many years now. Only 38, but already an experienced leader, and also one who’s represented a traditionally Dem stronghold.

P.S. I’ll grant Obama this. He is the “dark horse” that the Democrats desperately needed. And so was Billy before that. Where are ours?

And another thought as I was typing this: Is it the Bushes who bring out the best in the Democrats?
