Mitch Daniels thinks he could beat Obama
but he hasn't decided whether or not he's even going to try. :eyes:

I would think that anybody whom believes that they could beat somebody in a political race would be eager and willing to throw their hat in the ring. Methinks Mitch isn't actually quite so sure. :eyes: :puke:

2. I'm sure a lot of people think they could beat Obama
Reality might be something else entirely, however.

I won't write anybody off at this early stage, however. Daniels, Pawlenty, Huckabee all could be threats...

4. Media would love to cover up the crzy in Huckabee. Why he's a Governor! So Likeable!
I'm thinking Huckabee is their best hope. Media would hide that he is a wacked out theocrat.

11. some of his past would be tough to cover up, however
Women should graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership?

the pardoned people who went on to commit heinous crimes?

comparing kids with cancer to a broken down house (pre-existing conditions)

6. It's more like he won't try because he know he can't win.
Right now the GOP is looking for a sacrificial lamb.

9. Profile is too low. Needed to make more of a name for himself
Edited on Tue May-10-11 07:38 PM by Thrill
by now. Same with Huntsman. Again these guys are just setting themselves to run the next time.

Obama will face Mittens, Newt, or Huck

10. They all think they can beat him
because that's what you're supposed to say if you're a potential Presidential nominee.

23. Certainly
Nobody would telegraph that they didn't think that they could beat him, basically admitting defeat. Privately, I don't think that most Republican insiders believe that Obama is beatable in 2012.
