perry and Romney clash
Real Americans drink coffee.
That's a really sad list. I'm backing Huntsman, although I know he has no chance in the primaries.
Yeah, I knew you would be supporting the same candidate as Michael Moore...
Who the hell pays attention to Moore? I'd never heard who he was endorsing, nor would I care. Huntsman has demonstrated an honest desire to serve his country, and he has been willing to put partisanship aside to get stuff done. And why shouldn't a conservative support him? He has very strong conservative credentials as a huge tax-cutter. His record as governor of Utah beats the crap out of any other gubernatorial record we see in the campaign now.

Looks like you need some moOre information!
The only reason Orwell looks centre-left at all is because of how comically, nay I say absurdly, rightwing the corporate media establishment centre is in America. Orwell would be considered unelectably rightwing in most developed countries.
Real Americans drink coffee.
Yet Canadians drink more of it.

horses**t.
Romney is excessively awkward.

Um... if Huntsman won the GOP nomination, I would be voting for him in the general election as well. Given that Huntsman garnered rave reviews from right-wing groups like Cato for record-breaking tax cuts during his tenure as governor of MormonLand, I'm not sure how that even makes me look center-left in America.

I blame the cuts in education, especially in mathematics. We just need a couple more mathematicians in order to come back and beat Canada in per capita coffee drinking.
Surprising that Colombia is so low on that list when they have great coffee growing in their backyards. I guess they prefer stronger stimulants.

My money (which are in Schrute bucks) is on Rick Perry. He has a long record of doing favours for his corporate backers and various country club conservatives, yet spouts ill-formed, conspiratorial bile that also appeals to rightwing populists.
He made an enemy of Rove, and the rest of the former Bush administration. I think they are still powerful enough to take him out of the race if it comes to that.
And come on, Perry is just a dumber version of Dubya. Seriously, how the hell do you get a C in gym? Then a C in US history and a D in basic economics... this guy wants to be President? Those two grades right there should already disqualify him.

According to this, Canadians beat Americans both in coffee AND tea consumption.
Why the hell does your hot-beverage deficient nation have political movements named tea and coffee parties?

Apparently, you also don't need to succeded in your attempts at getting an Animal Science degree to be elected Governor.

Part of it is that I live in a tropical paradise rather than a frozen hell. Not all Americans need hot beverages to keep from freezing to death.

When you die of heat exhaustion or the societal effects of lacking Prairie valuess then who'll be laughing?
I'd put the well-funded flood defenses of Manitoba up against the subpar, poorly-funded, Rethuglican gutted, flood defenses of any Southeastern State any day. So, you also have drowning to worry about.
While perry was full of talking points rather than solutions, he was right that social security was unsustainable. Romney straw manned the argument by acting as if perry was against social security for millions of americans.
We are now seeing Romney In a different light. Where he has to fight in the gutters get off his high horse and deal with the fact that his moderate views don't sit well with the tea party.
Then again perry is just demogoging and eventually he may run out of steam.
From your keyboard to God's monitor.
Perry vs. Romney. The Clash of the Titans? Nah!

Going on live debates is a terrible is a terrible way to evaluate candidates. Try actually looking at their records. Newt was a failure as speaker, husband, writer, pretty much everything. You seem really inconsistent in your beliefs if you can hate Romney and Huntsman but then like Gingrich(who probably influenced the ideas of Romney and Huntsman more than anyone) and Herman Cain(Mr. Federal Reserve)
@Obres It's pretty sad that appearance and personality plays such an important role in politics. People are so superficial and straight up dumb. I would hope that this next election in decided on something more than who's taller, has better hair, what they have on their iPod, who can play basketball better, or who they want to have a beer with

newt has some good ideas about education reform

His ideas on education are pretty mixed. The vouchers are not a good idea, and bribing middle schoolers into studying math is likely to have serious unintended consequences. The insistence on school prayer and the rest of his culture-warrior garbage is distasteful at best. Putting more emphasis on math and science is a good idea, though. I wouldn't mind his proposal to waive interest payments on my student loans.
