    Only guy dumber is Plugs Biden, who greeted his San Francisco fund raiser audience yesterday with imprecations against their beloved Niners.

    A serial dumbass, and only a breath from the Presidency.

      …Perry is head and shoulders the only one who will survive the nomination, however.

      So solly.

        do you mean to say that the JakeGint was wrong, despite knowing better than everyone else, at all times?

          Could still be true, despite Perry’s multiple gaffes.”

            Such is the fate of the prediction bidness.

            Looking forward to seeing more of your prescient blogposts, my most favouritest (sic) leftist anklebiters.

            Perhaps you could consult the X-files, Bruce?

            Here’s mine:

            Eventually, the GOP primary voters will realize that Cain isn’t serious about running for President.”

            I’m not sure I deserve full credit for that one. I think Cain quit before most of the GOP voters had that realization.

            Plus, I followed with:
            “That will bring them back to the Perry-or-Romney dilemma.”

            I very much misunderestimated the purity of Perry’s cranial fluff.

            Cain was hounded out of the Presidential race by Axelrod and his expert team of sex scandal scumbags.

            Much in the same way Obama got rid of not one, but two of his major Senatorial rivals in his first and only term in office.

            Cain was “not serious” enough to have Zero releasing the hounds more than 12 months out. Couldn’t have an actual African American with a Horatio Alger story ruining his oppressed minority trump card, could he? What cover would he have for his ruinous dictatorial policies then?

            One can only wonder what buckets of slime Axelrod and his SEIU slush fund buddies are preparing for Mitt.

            Should be interesting.

    It isn’t about an incorrect prediction, Jake. As you note, one can’t make predictions without being wrong much of the time.

    It is about the ease with which you jump to a new position after presenting yourself as holding the prior position with great certainty and firmness.

    That combination serves you well when trading, but looks like flightiness in other arenas.

    So, I like to have some fun with it.

      No, I never liked Santorum. He’s got some kind of anger problem.

      I do support his dedication to the unborn, however. Maybe he can go further that cause.

      No, I have no one left to support that can win, so it’s hold my nose time one more time.

      My ex-Bain Cap buds will be smirkingly pleased. The one positive I can give for Mitt is that cynical lot would take a bullet for him, so there must be something there.

        And to be clear, yes I would even vote for Santorum.

        However, I don’t believe he can win. His personality is too grating. I hope I’m wrong if he’s the last man standing.

      I was firm, and would still be had I not seen Perry’s performance in the debates. We needed a governor or CEO (executive experience), and Perry was the ten year leader of the most successful state in the union.

      He was a relatively staunch conservative, given the politics of compromise necessary in even a red state, and he had all the proper boxes checked.

      Save for the IQ box, it turns out.

      And believe me, after having had to deal with the Left’s risable depictions of Bush for 8 years (Bush was squishy, but he was not stupid), I took with a grain of salt the depictions of Perry as a “dumbass.” However, having seen him in action, I had no choice but to accept that verdict. Again, better than Obama (dumb being better than dangerous), but pragmatically speaking, its tough for a box or rocks to get elected, unless it’s as Veep, apparently.

      And please, don’t mistake my having to settle for Romney as “flighty” either. I strongly believe there is nothing more important to my children’s future than making sure Obama is not re-elected, and that’s what’s most important to me.

      That means clothespin on the nose and “ABBO,” no matter whom, for the future of our country as a successful enterprise.

      (Well, okay, ABBO except maybe for Newt…)

    “And please, don’t mistake my having to settle for Romney as “flighty” either.”

    I’m thinking of all your car hopping on the ABBMitt train before you pulled into the ABBObama station riding in the Mitt car.

    And trying to tell me that Cain was a serious candidate, but was forced out of the race by some opposition research? Pbbbbt. It must have taken about 4 hours to dismantle his campaign infrastructure once he quit.
