The Republican Nomination For President: The Race For The Race For The White House

it does not matter if I have expertise in the field or not....when I search the web and can not find anyone who makes the claims you do it calls your claim into doubt. Project Runway is a hot show,fashion design is in, if your claim was true I think people would be talking about it.

Did you study tailoring at Harvard?

Has he been in your bra?

figured Cain would do well, but more likely 4th and certainly no better than 3rd.

Why? Because he's as crazy as bachmann?

I do think it's a pretty solid indictment of Perry, and secondarily a pretty solid "eh" re: Romney. (Perry tried hard to win there, Romney skipped it.) In Florida, anyway. But Florida is supposed to be big in deciding the nominee.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Pornographic magazine publisher Larry Flynt offered $1 million on Thursday to anyone with proof of "an illicit sexual liaison" involving leading Republican presidential candidate and Texas Governor Rick Perry.

I think that Mr Perry should challenge Flynt to a duel.

Some view that prospect as leading to disenfranchisement of voters.

General note, I'm seeing increasing Christie chatter as Perry's goose is looking fairly cooked. It's getting very late in the game, I think it's unlikely that he'd jump in. But still possible.

Why he shouldn’t

1. Late start. Perry has spent nearly three decades in elected office and sometimes looks like a rookie on the campaign trail — or, more accurately, the debate stage. Christie had never held elected office before winning the governorship in 2009 and, although he has done a remarkable job of building his national reputation, has never been tested under the sort of spotlight that would shine on him if he ran. The struggles of Perry, former senator Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) in 2008 and retired Gen. Wesley Clark in 2004 make clear that running for president requires skill that even most longtime politicians don’t possess.

2. Money. Yes, Christie could put together an impressive first month — or even first quarter — of fundraising. But the true giants of cash collection are those with staying power, the candidates who are able to get beyond the first $10 million (or so) and into the range of $35 million to $50 million. It’s not clear that Christie has that second gear or whether there are enough uncommitted big bundlers — the people who can donate and get hundreds of their friends to do the same — left for him to even try.

3. Heart. Listen closely to Christie’s denials over the past months — and there have been many — and the common strain is that his heart isn’t in a presidential race. (He joked at Rider that the only person who would be waking up with him at 5:30 a.m. on a 15-below-zero day in Des Moines would be his wife, not all the people asking him to run.) Winning a presidential primary is, at root, a grind — and if a candidate isn’t 100 percent on board, it simply won’t work. Christie seems to understand what it takes to be president (or at least his party’s nominee) and decided he doesn’t have it right now. He should listen to his heart and stay out.

The 48-year-old governor was driven to Somerset Medical Center by his state police security detail out of an "abundance of caution," said Christie spokesman, Michael Drewniak. Christie suffers from asthma and all indications are the governor will be OK, Drewniak said.

Maria Comella, Christie's deputy chief of staff, told The Associated Press that Christie is "fine and in charge." Close friend and adviser Bill Palatucci said Christie was "getting tests and working from the hospital
