John McCain, Scott Brown Among GOP Voters’ Preferred Choices for 2012
Author: Dylan Ris | Category: Election 2012, Obama Administration, Republicans
A new Gallup poll released last week offers both good news and bad news for President Obama.
The bad news? Obama is statistically tied with a generic Republican in the 2012 presidential election.
The good news? Many Republicans surveyed believe that “generic” candidate should be either John McCain or Scott Brown.
To rephase: That’s one candidate who’s fresh off a 2008 loss, would be 85 by the end of his second term, and might lose his Senate primary to Atilla the Hun. And a second candidate who has spent more time buck naked in the pages of Cosmo than he’s spent on Capitol Hill.
Among GOP frontrunners, McCain and Brown trail only Mitt Romney, whose entire governing experience consists of a single term as governor, and Sarah Palin, who didn’t even make it that far.
And that’s your top four: Romney, Palin, McCain, Brown. This leaves us with just one question:
WHAT, no Ronald Reagan? Or at least Curt Schilling, Barry Goldwater or Joe the Plumber– all right-wing heroes. And what about Rudy? It’s only been nine years since 9/11. Hell, even Joe Lieberman should be on this list.
As for professional GOP campaigners like Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Louisiana Robot-in-Chief Bobby Jindal, the message is clear: They’d best either lose an election or irrationally quit their jobs pronto if they plan to be flipping pancakes in New Hampshire come January 2012.

GOP Chairperson Michael Steele assembled with representatives of the Tea Party Movement yesterday in an attempt to add them on board with the Republican Party. I’m thankful that the Tea Party has resolved not to hobble it’s wagon to the GOP. They are a really effective pressure group when it comes to retaining the Republican Party in line. The same goes for the Republican Liberty Caucus. The RLC and the Tea Party are overwhelmingly composed of Conservatives and Conservative Libertarians who are Repelled at the doings of the moderate Republican RINOS who used their dominance of the White House and Congress to join forces with the Democrats and grow the regime, sign McCain-Feingold, and the listing of serious criminal offenses against our Constitution and Conservative precepts is long indeed.
