I'm surprised Graham isn't first.

This imbecile never stood a chance in the first place.

I can't believe he rocked those glasses. He looked like he was auditioning for a spot on msnbc.

The Perry, Graham, Carson, Jindal, Pataki, Santorum, Gilmore and Paul campaigns will probably all be over within the next month and a half.

I wonder how many more Presidential election cycles Santorum will take part in?

He's persistent, I'll give him that.

All of them.

But on a brighter note, it's good to see Perry's end coming near. He couldn't govern one of the few states where it's really hard to **** up being governor because of their natural resources and endless supply of cheap labor. He'd be a blabbering idiot without a lot of answers when it comes to national concerns.

His chance was 2012. Romney was weak.

Agreed with this. 

Of course, I think pretty much nearly all of the GOP is at the same level and nearly all of the DNC is as well.  It's a shame that the only decent guy the dems have running is Jim Webb, and probably 99% of democrats have no idea who he is. 

It'd be nice if Americans would collectively reject the one-party system that we have going, but I won't hold my breath.

Dems want a socialist lol

Could really say the Dems are socialists. GOP is progressive. The conservatives need to get with the classic liberals and be a force.

My wife wants to see a Hilary/Sanders and Webb ticket. Brings a more moderate voice to a more liberal one, plus provides the military background both of them are missing. But yeah, Webb isn't really known much outside of Virginia.

[jakefromstatefarm]

Hillary might not last too much longer. Too much more heat from this email scandal and her top donors may panic and force her out.

They probably won't move their money to Sanders or Webb, because they aren't as easily bought as Hillary.

Looks like a good time for another cash-***** like Gore to enter the race.

[StLucieBengal]

I saw where Kerry has people putting feelers out.  If he and/or Biden get in it could be trouble.  

I also think Gore is the ace in the hole.  He can get money quickly.

[GodHatesBengals]

The elitist, "cocktail party Democrats" are definitely in panic mode now that Sanders is showing them up. Thus the reason Biden, Kerry and Gore are now being thrown around as potential candidates.

Don't hold your breath. The people want someone who will end the ridiculous trade agreements and get corporate money out of politics, no matter how much the media tells them they're insane for wanting it.
