Winning in 2012 is about generating excitement

May 10th, 2011 | 20 Comments

How many of you are really excited about the current collection of Republicans who are expressing an interest in running in 2012?  With the exception of Herman Cain and Ron Paul almost all of them are big government center right politicians.  These are the same type of establishment politicians we complain about on a daily basis in our post.  They are the middle of the road lukewarm brand the Tea Party movement is rallying against and yet we’re being steered in the direction to support a Mitt Romney or a Mike Huckabee.  I just watched Sean Hannity with Dick Morris and not once did Morris mention Herman Cain or Ron Paul as serious candidates who could beat Obama.  Instead he talked about Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Mitch Daniels, and Newt … Read entire article »
