Bingo treb. He may just be around to stir up interest in a new tv show that he has in the works. I think he has a huge value because he's forcing response. Everyone knows, it's not enough to show up armed with facts, figures and ideas, got to have an advanced degree in sales and actressing. A smart RNC would heavily involve him right up until it's too late to run as an independent, then let the chips fall where they may.

We had a chance last time with a smart business man, who wanted to kick start the country, made solid foreign policy noises and was nice. The economy is still screaming for a good business person, but how many times is decorum going to be tried without success. The time before that, we tried a career politician that only legislatively votes on the right, 43% of the time. How many times does that strategy have to fail before r's stop listening to libs that advise, 'we' should be 'moving' towards the center.

I hope the R's can come up with a presumptive nominee fairly quickly in the process, offer the remaining few wannabes some important sounding positions and force the party act like it's rallying. Ooops, did you mean ed g., crusader for medium rare receivers.
