[E.O.T.]

Newt Gingrich ends his White House dream today with his political committee facing a mountain of debts -- owing about $4 million to scores of businesses and campaign workers around the country who fear they will never get paid.

Campaign watchdogs said the size of Gingrich's debt is extraordinary -- and could have been avoided if the candidate and his team had been more disciplined.

"He was reckless in running up these bills, especially in the last month or so of the campaign when it was quite clear that Mitt Romney would be the nominee," said Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist for the watchdog group Citizen Union.

I

          still think the newt was our only real candidate, specifically for his economic budget plans.

So, Dok, do you know who you're going to vote for this year?  Which candidate is funnier?

1.  The RWN nutjob reaction to an Obama reelection would be funnier.

2.  I hate Romney with the fire of 10,000 suns.  Obama only has 2,647 suns worth of hate.

A positive review for Obama if I ever heard one!

[Cain]

I dunno, I think the liberal melt-down over Romney has potential to be pretty hilarious.  Especially when they get whiplash from denouncing the powers Romney assumes as President that they defended when Obama was President that they denounced when Bush was President.

Plus watching Romney's inevitable betrayal of the movement conservatives guarantees wingnut outrage into the bargain.  As will his continual flip-flopping.

[Freeky]

True.  I wish I could put a "but Obama isn't as bad, so don't try and change his mind" but...

Yeah, but you have to be here to understand just exactly how much concentrated butthurt the swine have already accumulated.  If Obama gets reelected, it's going to be funnier than watching 150,000,000 Nixons screeching at the press back in 1962.

I don't even...

Romney's new campaign slogan.

"We're Not Stupid."

Seriously.

Romney scares the shit out of me, but I also think that he's our best bet for national health care, because I think the Republicans and giant corporations are more likely to be lulled into thinking he's on their side. Which he might very well be. His background could only be described as "profoundly inconsistent". He is either a Socialist masquerading as a Capitalist, or he's a very, very dangerous Capitalist with an agenda that he is somehow furthering with his time-warp 1950's Republican actions.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

If his potential presidency is anything like his governorship hell be pretty useless. Especially if he keeps saying stupid shit. Aside from the fact he was a frequent vacationer he incurred the wrath of the massachusetts general court (state congress) by continuing to say he would clean up beacon hill after he won the election. Around the time that a politician shuts up with the rhetoric and starts playing ball. Needless to say the general court wouldnt throw him the ball once he realized the game started.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Besides he doesnt seem to know what his own opinion is. He maybe good with money but i dont think politics is his strong suit. Hes a decent campaigner though.

I will point out that mass tends to favor republican governors because the general court is overwhelmingly dem- and his lt gov lost the election to a democrat. If he wins this year hell be a one term prez.

[East Coast Hustle]

They're already the same guy, what does it matter which one wins?
