My husband walked into the living room right when it was posted. I didn't have time to save it. DRAT!!!

I wonder if there will be righteous indignation if this indeed does happen ...

When Dems question and belittle the experience of a politician with limited experience as a state legislator and with much less experience as a federal legislator if he makes a run in 2012.

Where will the "community organizer" cat calls be?

More hypocritical ... are the Christian right activists here that are willing to abandon their moral holy grails ... and support a candidate that supports legalized abortion and admittedly holds the same views on anti-gay marriage and pro civil-unions as Obama.

Looks like a pact "with the devil" is in the making ... as party zeal blinds the lockstep hate-talk show sycophants who have sought to spiritualize politics on this forum.

Surely some will compromise principle in the their hatred ....

C'mon Dan. Nobody's "hatin.'" You're just down after you candidate lost and you feel miserable watching others do that silly little dance people do when their guy wins. By the weekend it won't even register.

For me, it's Brown's openness on the social issues that make me feel a bit more comfortable with his style of politics than with many others.

The fact that anyone is even silly enough to to say "Brown in 2012" speaks more to the dearth of good Republican candidates than it says anything about Brown himself. And, our good Mormon friend Mitt was there as emcee for the Brown victory party so I think we know where Brown himself stands on 2012.

What little I do know about the guy tells me he should not and most likely will not be on the ticket in 2012.

Let's see now wasn't it the religious conservatives on this board that called me a baby killer because I voted for Obama? So it comes down to the truth abortion is only a sin if a democrat supports someone who is pro choice. Vote Republicans it doesn't matter if they support abortion, they are just the lesser of the two evil !!

We do not need a third party. The planks of the Republican Party are just fine. We need our elected officials to return to those planks - hence - the tea partiers are pushing this agenda.

Now, let's not overlook a major player in the future. He has been my man all along - Mike Pence. Has a wonderful record! Found out this exciting news this morning:



Run, Mike, Run!!! You already have my vote in 2012!!!

Mike Pence is a good man.... he met my former church at White House for tour. He's the Rep in the district where my family is from.

I agree with you that we do not need a third party... get back to the basics.

btw, Dan mentioned former D Quayle and his family values... I worked for his campaign and he wouldn't travel anywhere without one of his children because he didn't want anyone to ever say he was in inappropriate situations as a married man... he never gave the opportunity for evil to be spoken against him. He was true blue conservative too...and I considered it a honor to know him and his wife personally. I always hated to see him being shred to pieces by media, because he was a good person.

Dan always seemed to be a good person. They always try to make you look silly when you are. Palin is a good example. Make her look stupid and people will believe it. Well, Fox is giving her a chance to prove them wrong. She still needs work, but she's on her way.

I am so excited to see this development with Mike Pence this morning. I felt that he would be making a presidential run at some point. He will win that Senate seat and he will win in 2012!

Not sure who called you what or what you really are for that matter. I would say that his coming out against the Health Care Bill is what got him elected, that and his opponent was worse than he was.

Is it better to vote for someone you totally oppose or someone you might agree with in many areas?

Palin didn't need the media or anyone else to help her look stupid ... she did well enough by herself.

He's a Republican, but not a Conservative. Just glad he has stepped in on the healthcare issue.

FTR, I had no horse in the Mass. race.



I agree this Brown for President euphoria and temporary insanity is a case of slim pickings ...

As to aligning with Mitt ... speaks to me of a chameleon candidate who might be willing to change colors at a whim for political gain and expediency, imo.
