Will it be interesting? Most likely yes, a circus? No more than any other pres election in the early stages.

You really do make me laugh sometimes, other times I wonder where you get your ideas?

Trump may run, may not
Palin most likely will not
Bachman is looking pretty serious at this time
Paul (which Paul are you even talking about)?

The most like candidates, you are even listing...

The OP has a clearly defined agenda and it shows in every post.

Savoir Faire is one of the most partisan leftist posters on P&OC. Definitely top 5. Take him as seriously as you would Media Matters

The GOP primaries will be based on who can raise the most money to last on the campaign trail.

WOW! A possible GOP candidate grounded in reality? I could get interested.

No it will be exciting. Not predictable like most years. Plus it gives an advantage that the media and the Obama machine will have less time to try to demonize and destroy whoever the eventual candidate will be.
