This is game plan so they can run Jeb Bush who will appear to be an electable moderate and sensible person as opposed to the current circus

The republican primaries are most likely an intentional circus. They want to run a fresh "Mr. Businessman" candidate who the democrats won't have enough time to easily attack.

We still have a long way to go. The more militant Gingrich becomes the less it will play to the real people of America.And the more comments like "I've asked for forgiveness" and words like "Redemption" are used, the more unbelievable. When the true thoughts of Gingrich come out like "Kill your enemies." The longer this alleged campaign goes on, the more belligerent he will become. The cheering crowds behind him just encourages this agressive attitude.

Look at the bigger role he will have to play. Can you see him sitting across the table from the Chinese delegates, and calling them names. Strutting his "intellectual" arrogance.His better than thou attitude. And with us making more enemies than ever, we will have alot to kill.

The Republican party doesn't really care who is the nominee as long as Oboma is out. It's all about them not us. The big "I" and little "U".

The fix has been in for a while.

I think the debates are a new reality show like "Housewives of DC"

The debates look and sound like a Game Show. The booing and cheering audiences are horrible, tacky, lacking in class and they should not be there.

People need jobs, so instead the Republicans are talking about abortion and gay marriage and acting as though they are electing the "First Pastor" instead of the President.

The whole thing is a popularity contest, like high school. People never change.

There's no need for the nominal Republican faction of the corporate party to "broker" its convention of distraction.

The market-state's brokers already have their candidate, because the corporate party's "progressive" Obama voters are effectively all closet Goldwater Republican voters.

Nothing does disingenuousness like Democrats do.
