Notwithstanding his non-marketability as a future candidate, I think its a shame that the same people calling for his resignation are the same ones that did not come to his aid when he had to fight his own state courts and legislature when they pushed him to take federal stimulus money.
Frankly, it was obvious after that defeat that he could not govern his own state, since the state congress and courts knuckled (or suckled) to the teat of federal bailout bucks. At that point I would have taken a long walk along the Appalachian trail and told Columbia to shove it.
He's just stupid for the affair business, but that is his business. May his wife and God have Mercy on him.
Liberals have no cause to point fingers or throw stones at this. "Cigar Bill and the Oral office" grants an almost 1 century pass on jaw jacking from that side of the isle.
On another point, I think its counter-productive that some people are looking for a banner bearer for the GOP, or the "new" party. You all are getting stuck in the rut of having a talking head, figure head, or poster child to lead us out of this mess.
"Of the people, by the people, for the people" means that it is going to take people, not just one. If your waiting for your own single political messiah to come along and save you, than you are screwing up. It's an active process.
Perhaps if you have common sense, you may play a bigger role than you think?
Think Palin? Sure. I would like her to be involved, but it's going to take a lot more people, and a lot more individual effort on their parts.
Can't remember last August, who said that all the Ron Paul supporters should start working on 2012 - wait a minute, I said that - wonder how far that cause is gone? I mean, you may want to get started before you are labeled extremists.
