Bachmann is now in seventh place, and her staff are leaving her campaign in droves. It’s only a matter of days before she calls it quits.
Perry is now all but toast.
Christie is going to come in and try to save the drive, but no way he gets enough momentum to make the first primary, and if he does his chances of reelection in New Jersey are all but gone.
What happened to that Tea Party train that was going to run over the democrats? Not so much, I guess.
Better luck in 2016.
So tired of extremist politics (on both sides). Wish there was a moderate/middle party or two (my preference would be for a relatively conservative fiscally/relatively liberal (or, at least, netural) socially iteration) that policians could pander to…
You want to know what is sad? You can take the worst republican/tea party candidate - and that person would still stand a good chance of beating Obama. At some point people are going to take the keys away from Obama because he keeps crashing whenever he drives somewhere.

Be careful what you wish for. A “moderate” party might also be fiscally socialist and socially conservative–the worst of both worlds.
Probably right about Bachmann, could be right about Perry. Utterly wrong on "TEA party", as Americans will vote fiscal competence and responsibility in the next election, and this is a movement that was brought to the fore, and is still driven by the TEA party.
ps Herman Cain is a viable candidate now, and is a darling of the TEA party.

The worst tea party candidate has a good chance of beating Obama? What are you talking about? Even the best tea party candidate can’t get the GOP nomination.
BK will be crying about this until 2016.

A little early to be drunk isn’t it? Even Sarah Palin got this right when she called him the flavor of the week (or month, can’t remember which she said).

You really need to go to intrade.com and make enough money to retire. As of today, here are their market-driven bets of who will become the next President:
Obama: 46.9%
Romney: 26%
Perry: 9.5%
Christie: .6%
Cain: 3.1%
Paul: 2.6%
Palin: 2.2%
H. Clinton: 2.1% (!)
The rest of the Keystone Kops, who many might consider among the “worst Republican/tea party candidate,” are lower still. As much as you think Obama sucks, the market thinks everyone else is far, far suckier.
What happened? What happened? The American people want results and they want them yesterday. What did the Tea Party deliver? NOTHING. So yes, they are now condemned to the political dust bin of history where they belong.

I have never even considered that as a moderate possibility. I guess it could happen but I can’t think of anyone who holds these values.

Yeah, that one seems pretty unlikely. Who’d vote for them?
Maybe a union big-shot?
Anyway, the point is that you can’t really define the term “moderate” in the context of a left-right axis, because both “left” and “right” are based on very mixed premises. It’s like trying to figure out what’s halfway between a zebra and a goldfish.

Christie is part of what you would define as the Tea Party? Your seriously one of the least intelligent people I have ever run across. I hate to tell you this, Obama is done; even he now admits the American people are far worse off since he took office.

That would be the Democratic Part of William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson.
That would fit.
It could also be the National Socialist Party of Germany in the 30s. Obviously, the Nazis are usually described as “extremist,” but they also represented a potent mixture of left-wing socialism and right-wing authoritarianism.
GWB was pretty close
Gary Johnson is the other side of the spectrum, Paul right there too. Cain more on the social conservative side. Perry and Romney are just Dem Lite spending and in everyone’s business on the social side.
I hate to tell you this but Obama is getting reelected.
Obama, Romney, Palin, Clinton, does it really matter? Do you think your life would really change significantly if your candidate (whoever that is) won the election? It doesn’t matter. Not one bit.
That’s right now. You don’t think that could change?

Ever heard of the Republican party?
