Jack Welch: Just 3 Serious GOP Presidential Contenders

Jack Welch: Just 3 Serious GOP Presidential Contenders
   
He thinks Tim Pawlenty, Mitt Romney or Jon Huntsman will top the GOP ticket in November 2012.

Why thank you Jack.  I know I want my candidate selected by the political and business establishment elite. That's always worked so well for us in the past.  Jack Welch, in case you didn't know, is the former King of GE.  He does Bohemian Grove and prolly Bilderberg.  Under his stewardship GE made a ton, make that tons, of money.  Of course his successor, Jeffrey Immelt,  is doing just mahvelous things himself.  But enough snide.  Let's consider the whences and whyfores of  his anointed three.  All do have one thing in common nobody knows what it is that makes them so irresistible, or even who in the hell they are? 


Man on the street

Mitt Romney — Man-oh-man do the establishment types love this guy, or what?  Mitt has so many negatives that, well, given the tea party successes of 2010 you have to wonder how it is he's still running?  Mitt's been on both sides of just about every issue you care to mention;  abortion, gun control, Iraq and Afghanistan, — name something.  Romneycare  became the model for Obamacare fer chrisake!  This guy is wearing a toe tag, but people like Welch keep -  well, you saw A Weekend With Bernie?  Same thing.  But WHY? The answer is is he's establishment GOP.  A known commodity.  They're comfortable with him.

Bottom Line
"Stab me in the Liver!"
Mitt Who?
Tim Pawaltny  A Former Minnesota governor, Pawaltny's name popped up out of nowhere, and he's been a front runner ever since, even if there's no poll data to support it.  That the question "Conservative or RINO" is even asked would seem to eliminate him.  But forget all that.  Pawaltny was Minnesoata's Head of State when Al Frankin was allowed to flat-out steal a United States Senate seat.  That's how much control he had over Democrat shenanigans in Minnesota.  Remember, we're evaluating his selection to Jack Welch's Hot List. 

Bottom line " Yikes! Who?  Tim Noreltney?"
Noreltney?
Jon Huntsman Who?  - A former governor of Utah, I had never heard of him until about two weeks ago when, out of the blue, he became somebody of note.  A savior.  This is all too reminiscent of Obama.  Just as I think Obama began as a hedge against Hillary Clinton, who the Democrat establishment firmly believed was unelectable, so too might Huntsman be a Palin or Bachman hedge.  Both are tea party favorites, and god forbid one of them wins the nomination.  It's not so much that the GOP thinks both are unelectable (they do), but even worse what if one was elected!  Blood will run out of the cracks at GOP central.   Like Obama,  Huntsman is a blanksheet of paper.  They can make him be whatever they want during a short election cycle.  The fact that Welch includes him here leaves me convinced that my instincts are right.

Bottom line "Who the hell is he?  Really?"
Hunt Club?
Conclusion:  The Barn Army dismisses all three - with prejudice.

Here, here.

Romney lost me when he tried to "rationalize" through Romneycare, instead of just admitting that he screwed up. His comments regarding "global warming" were just icing on the cake.

The other two are non-starters as well, for a variety of reasons.

John Bolton is considering a run. Add him to RAK's trio. Any of those four over the three RINO's.
Three RINO's? That a new grunge band or a new car wax?

Jack knows what he's talking about and anyone that knows jack should know his endorsement ought to be the kiss of death for all four of those Rhino losers.

Gee ... a bluechip CEO thinks only eastern RINOs are serious candidates.

That is very special of him. He's getting a shock in 2012.
