Be careful what you wish for, you just may get it! When Michele Bachmann was rising in the polls, I was sure I couldn't live with her as president. I did so want to see a woman in the White House, just not Michele. Along came Rick Perry. Not another Texas governor--and even dimmer than George. We couldn't be so unlucky. A deep thankful sigh when he said "Oops." And then, there was Herman, with the $9.99 pizza. Thank goodness for the Cain ladies, 6 so far but soon to approach 999.
Had I known that in wishing away Bachmann, Perry, and Cain, I might get Newt, I would have bitten my tongue. Nowadays Michele appears almost presidential. Who cares if she doesn't know that the U.S. closed its Embassy doors in 1980--did you know? Perry is rather endearing (if you forget how many execution writs he's signed), and he has better hair than Romney. Cain can be amusing, particularly on foreign policy, although it's doubtful he'll get any votes from Uz-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan.
Please not Newt! The thought of seeing Newt on TV every day for four years, lecturing me on civility and responsibility, freezes my blood. Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul, Michele, Rick (either one), Giuliani (definitely not Giuliani--worse even than Newt--do I have a story to tell about him but that's for another day). Sarah Palin, yes even Sarah Palin!
Oh please, let it be Mitt! A dispassionate Republican running against a dispassionate Democrat, neither with a principle he wouldn't sell for a vote. An even match, I think. As much as I dislike Obama and his wishy-washy centrist ways, I'll campaign my heart out for him if Newt is the Republican nominee. I love my country far too much to deliver it into the hands of Newt and Callista Gingrich.
What did I do to deserve this! Can't ask for the rest of you. You'll have to examine your own consciences.
