Here’s CNN’s Erick Erickson, expertly handicapping the 2012 Republican presidential nominees’ chances against the president.
I do not really know, but have always liked Newt Gingrich. I think Newt Gingrich could beat Barack Obama.
(Latest Real Clear Politics poll average: Newt trails Obama by 10.7%.)
I know and like Rick Perry tremendously and I think that not only could he beat Barack Obama, but that he would beat Obama and be an excellent President conservatives would not feel the need to fight against every step of the way.
(Latest RCP average: the Secessionist trails Obama by 9.2%.)
I know and like Herman Cain tremendously and I think that should he survive this latest problem with his campaign, he would come out of it much, much stronger and could beat Barack Obama and be an excellent President.
(Latest RCP average: the Pizza Guy trails Obama by 7.4%.)
I really do believe that MItt [sic] Romney cannot beat Barack Obama.
(Latest RCP average: Willard trails Obama by…wait for it…1.7%. And Obama and Romney are currently tied in the swing states.)
Wingnuts: gleefully rejecting facts and empirical evidence since 1342.

Thanks…I love their wisdom and their math….Nice.
Who IS that asshole? I really want to know.
Thanks for the post BT.
Ever notice the double or triple chins on these Regressive
moronspundits? These people apparently put in a lot of overtime with a knife and fork.They do tend to be a bit tubby. Christy comes to mind.
he who speaks with his tongue on fire
gargles in the rat race choir
CARES NOT TO COME UP ANY HIGHER
BUT WOULD RATHER GET YOU DOWN IN THE HOLE THAT HE’S IN
noted by bobby zimmerman in late 60′s applies to this dipshit
They’d better hope the elevator never breaks down. Two-three flights of stairs would kill most of these fat fucks.
It’s Mitt Romney, the GOP’s choice, vs Obama.
That’s what my tea leaves say!
If the repugs really want to win this time around, they will get jeb up and running around Jan or Feb. If they don’t push jeb up, then they are looking at ’16 and giving this one to 0 so he can make the dims totally toxic to everyone.
Erick Erickson, Master Soothsayer. When it comes to punditry and prognostication, it must really suck to get one’s ass kicked by a stopped clock.
Hell, the fact that Urk Irksome is within 10% points is astounding. I generally assume that he is off by at least 50% on anything.
It appears he is off by more like 180 degrees.
The entire Presidential Election is a distraction. We should ignore it. Ignore everything the 1% throw at us in the MSM, it really hurts their feelings to be shunned.
bc he’s good for a laugh.
Parents had to name him the same first as last bc he’s too stupid to learn how to spell two diff names.
He has parents? I don’t know????
Why the hell would they want to replace Obama?
He’s been excellent at getting the job done.
Prolly the sort of thing reasonable people can disagree about.
A mere 7.5-10% lead over a bowl of froot loops is not something to cheer or sneer about…
Is Eric Erickson just a bot that spits out the text “I know and like (insert Republican loonie here) and he could beat Obama and is a heck of a guy”?
Thanks for the great chuckle, BT!!!
Did I tell you recently how “pProud” we are of you here in the “Lone Sar State” and how much I enjoy your daily contributions at FDL???
You got my mailing address, right????
THis guy missed his true calling…………standup comedian.
Hey, cut the guy some slack. It took a long time to get that line memorized (he can’t read a teleprompter).
Erick should be happy.
A war mongering, torturing, murdering, invading, capitalist loving, hedge fund praising, tax cutting, infrastructure gutting, medicare “reforming”, social security “saving” republican will win.
~Barry The Mad Bomber (R) 2012.
I’m with you, dude. The GOP should just cancel the convention, save all that money trying to elect a guy (Romney) only 23% like.
You know what they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
‘Course, lots of ‘em don;t like even half-black man in their WHITE House. so, I ‘spose, the election will go on.
The Cons couldn’t be in better shape. They either get a GOPer or, if Obama wins, they get more of the same from a Trojan horse destroyer of progressivism and the Democratic Party.
Heads they win. Tails we lose. I have no interest in the 2012 presidential election.
Facts (in this case polls) are meaningless, only belief matters.
The reason McCain lost is because he wasn’t conservative enough. That and Obama is black and blacks in America get everything handed to them on a silver platter. They aren’t persecuted like conservative white Christian heterosexual married-with-children males.
Romney doesn’t have a chance because he isn’t conservative enough.
The other candidates may have some minor flaws, but are all great guys and conservative enough to beat Obama. Though being more conservative would be better. The more conservative the candidate, the bigger the landslide.
See, it all makes perfect sense.
Erick is such a CHOAD.
And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They’d probably put my head in a guillotine
It’s not that he’s not conservative enough.
I think one of Red State’s posters has found the problem.
It’s women. Who the hell gave them the right to vote.

“Women, children, and lunatics were prohibited from making valid contracts under our Common Law, because they lacked the ability to make rational decisions. This is also why women were not allowed to vote. This entire Cain/Gingrich discussion just points up, yet again, the superior wisdom of the Founding Fathers, and other men of the 18th Century, who were still guided by actual observation and experience, instead of ideology. Historians who live in the real world have observed the rise of Leftism of every sort in countries after womens’ sufferage was adopted. Coincidence??”
The comment section over there is insane. You would think that if Conservatism was so great they could find someone sane who could represent it.
From the comment section the time has come to label Conservatism a mental illness.
If Reagan never emptied the asylums then redstate would have 3 members.
