tntgoodwin Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Is anyone else excited to watch the GOP Presidential primary debate on Tuesday? I love election season (although the people I support rarely, if ever, win!). It is at 8pm ET on CNN, and will include: Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Texas Representative Ron Paul, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. It's weird how much later this cycle is starting than in 2007-2008. EDIT: It is actually on MONDAY, June 13! Edited June 11, 2011 by tntgoodwin put the wrong day!

CourtneyMI Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 thanks for the heads up! I will definitely be watching. The more I see of Herman Cain, the more I like. Although, Michelle Bachman is going to be interesting to watch for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynyel Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I heard Newt was pulling out of the race and Rick Perry may be in the running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I heard Newt was pulling out of the race and Rick Perry may be in the running? That's the word on the street. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 About 16 of Newt's top level campaign people resigned en masse yesterday. Many of them have ties to Rick Perry, which is what started that rumor. Newt and his campaign staff had different ideas on strategy, but he says he is continuing to run. We will have to see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Things are strange when I am rooting for Romney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Things are strange when I am rooting for Romney. I don't *think* the field is going to remain the same. I think a lot of potential nominees want to continue collecting their Fox paychecks for a while longer. Again, I also think a lot of the real contenders are sitting this one out.

You are likely right. I just dislike all these debates with the crazy eyes. Get the rest of the real people please! Is Bobby Jindal not running? I figured he would be running.

Like I said: Again, I also think a lot of the real contenders are sitting this one out. 2016. Jindal doesn't want to run against Obama.

usetoschool Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Are you talking about the New Hampshire debate on CNN? If so, I think it is on Monday, June 13th - 8pm Eastern and 5 pm Pacific...Heard about it on the news this morning and that is what the banner on CNN's website says.

Spy Car Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 2016. Jindal doesn't want to run against Obama. It might take till 2016 for people to forget about his disastrously bad performance with his "response" to the 2009 State of the Union speech. It was a not ready for prime time moment.

tntgoodwin Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 I love the Senate races too! I really wish Gary Johnson would run for Senate instead of President - he has a much better shot at winning that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
