Jim Demint is not running<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0for President.\u00c2\u00a0 He sort of kind of endorsed Michelle Bachman, though.<\/p>\n

Michelle Bachman got a glowing USA Today cover story, citing her as now “Mainstream”.\u00c2\u00a0 We are doomed<\/a>, doomed<\/a>, doomed.\u00c2\u00a0 Bachman appears to be this week’s mode of Herman Cain — “Debate Performance” propped her up to “buzz” …<\/p>\n

Buzz from whom?\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t know.\u00c2\u00a0 She announced her candidacy.\u00c2\u00a0 Her reason for running for President, I assume, is more noble than Newt Gingrich’s Candidacy — probably about what we suspected it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Donald Trump out, and Jim Demint announcing he’s out (were people sitting on the edge of their seats hoping for such a thing?), Rick Perry <\/a>and Rudy Giuliani are entertaining thoughts.\u00c2\u00a0 (We know Giuliani is thinking of running beceause he ate lunch with New Jersey’s governor<\/a>?)\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

A sure fire sign of Huntsman running:
\n“I intend to announce my candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America a week from today,” Huntsman said.<\/a>
\nIsn’t that an announcement?<\/p>\n

You look wistfully back<\/a> — for some reason Tim Pawlenty failed to call it RomneDoBamaCare.\u00c2\u00a0 But again:<\/p>\n

As to the Tea Party? Dole said he thought he was conservative until this group came along. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still trying to figure them\u00c2\u00a0out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We need an Eisenhower or a TPAW<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
