1st GOP Pres Debate postponed - Reuters

First Republican Presidential Debate for 2012 postponed for lack of candidates.

A very strange time for Republicans, as they strategerize and jockey for position in a potential field which seems to range from the sub-prime to the ridiculous.

Anyway:

Thats weird, there sure alot them spouting their views lately, wonder why they don't want to make it official. I haven't heard much for solutions only complaining and some outright nonsense.

Maybe they are afraid of the attack dogs which might be unleashed upon them. You know - the wailing Wurlitzers with all stops open. In short, attacks by the radicals loonies out there within their own party.

I think that must be it...

The msm also awaits.

More likely not enough straight jackets to contain them all.

Wonder why they're called straight jackets...

You mean, the extreme extremists? Yeah, I heard about them.

They're just scared in the same way McCain was scared.

Because if they declaired now, they would lose their gigs on FOX.

Donald Trump -- the only one I'd vote for at this point -- has to wait until "The Apprentice" is over before he can announce. That's...what it's come to.

But honestly, I'm not unimpressed by Trump. The rest are the same Romney/Gingrich re-runs, or the Palin/Bachmann wackos. Truthfully, I think the Party is just waiting until someone viable emerges.

Personally - I think the May date was way too soon anyway. Elections aren't for another year plus away. This idea of any party to start campaigning over a year and a half before elections wastes money, time and resources. (Let alone the fact many are in elected positions or jobs - look at the loss of work time - or absence from elected positions to do work they were elected to do...)

I just who know I am NOT voting for at this point..... With the weak field if Ron Paul was ever going to get the Republican nomination it would be this year...
