Do you think Rand Paul has a good chance at beating Obama in 2012?

[Kirby]

He has the about the same chance for the Presidency as Gustav Fröhlich.

 

[Supersonic64]

Hell no, this man will never get anywhere near the Presidency just like his father before him.

Just another Nader.

 

[NoStateofMind]

Not a chance in hell.

 

[Acanthus]

He has no chance of getting a nomination or winning.

He is a younger, crazier version of Ron.

Furthermore, even if he did win, neither the GOP nor the Dems would vote for anything he brought to the floor.

It is so hard to tell. I thought Hillary Clinton would be president now.

If Senator Clinton's campaign staff hadn't been so inept in managing the caucus states, she would be president.

If Senator Clinton's campaign staff hadn't been so inept in managing the caucus states, she would be president.

And the vitriol against her here would be FAR WORSE than the usual suspects manage against Obama, which is crazy-bad enough.

While our Secretary of State has the Curse of the Clinton (which would have the Usual Suspects plotting impeachment before the electoral votes were even counted), she lacks the Otherness that inspires the opposition fringe with its visions of Kenyan Muslims subverting Democracy.
I also don't think that the cries of Socialism, Marxism and Communism would flare any higher against her than against our current executive.

There was, however, that thing about the Lesbian Rape Camps she supposedly ran for the CIA...

 

[WHAMPOM]

Rand running would insure a three legged, one eyed dog to be more electible as Prez.

 

[First]

Either Paul would be worse for this country than any POTUS we've had in any generation still living, if you look at their voting records, ideology, and, well, pretty much every single kooky statement they've ever made. So thankfully, no, Rand won't sniff the nomination.

EDIT: Oh wait, you said presidency? rofl, please stop.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Rand Paul is the only republican in the public eye who's more unelectable than Sarah Palin.

Newt even moreso, he's gone off the deep end since Obama was elected. He's quite seriously reaching Limbaugh territory.

Mr. Gingrich is what passes as a "Senior Statesman" in the Republican Party these days.

 

[CitizenKain]

If he runs, I hope his supporters get a blimp like they did for Ron.

 

[Craig234]

I don't know. Maybe he will become board certified to have risen about that level. That would do it for me.

Actually he won the 2012 Presidential election already, as certified by the Rand Voting Board.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Shit, looks like the Paulbots are back.

 

[Skitzer]

Hillary in 2012!
