GOP @)!@ ...(2012)

2012 that is.
Mitch Daniels, was my earliest hunch, Huntsman was a close second. Ron Paul was an early hope, but Gary Johnson beat him to the announcement. Now when I say hope, this is from the perspective that there be a good candidate for Republicans and the 2012 race, not that they should have any shot at being good for the country. This does not take into considerations any impact of a third party or independent candidate, or any political calculus. I don't find any references in a search of my blog but could have embedded some comment or link that may mention them. I associate Daniels with a Chris Matthews* comment, and Huntsman with some China controversy, while Paul and Johnson are libertarian. Which may be why I have been focused on economics and Ayn Rand. I would like to have a good de bait on neo-classical economics. It is hard to imagine Mitt Romney making it but then the longer the so-called libertarian or tea party candidate split the vote he or these guys could run the fish ladder, and it is hard to imagine a third party candidate that would not be just another spoiler. I don't want to do the political calculus to rock that boat.

* one reason I might scratch Daniels, but then again

(I should note that I was thoroughly entertained by the Fight of the Century, but it is a Koch sponsored production, and requires a fair bit of economics** as well as other disciplines to see that it is more inciteful than insightful. But the other links provide some other perspectives that I only have a hunch are more "fair and balanced" and not in a Faux or FOKS way. I have only begun to unRap them, but there is a pun in the 3 bows.***

This would at least make for an interesting debate not that the organizational structure would cooperate. Fiengold might not be a player or choose this field of endeavor in rocking the party boat, Kucinich may be an alternate, and Trump and Rand Paul would have their own problems with the Republicans. Heck, there may as well be Pawlenty Bush 2012.]

From the President, Monday -- quoting: "It is U-S Policy that Qaddafi needs to go."

From the Chairman, Sunday -- quoting. "It’s not about seeing him go," unquote. He added that the mission might be accomplished even if Qaddafi stays in power.

There is no inconsistency here: U.S. Policy is one thing. The Mission is another. Pure and complicated (and balanced.)]

It is just a hunch but former Speaker Frist may be testing his hat.
