He gave up fast. I was kind of rooting for him after listening to him on I think it was Hannity's show, on the radio a couple of months ago. Never knew anything about him before that. He sounded pretty good to me, and like he really wanted to run for the Presidency, so I kept a watchful eye on him.
He must not have really wanted it that bad. I don't understand why he went after Michele the way he did, and I think that is what did him in more than a poll.
Too bad, but then we are just beginning the weeding.

I was initially cureous and mildly supportive of his candidacy, but upon hearing his flirtation with the wacko-environmentalists and after his unnecessary attacks upon Bachmann, I sort of lost my interest in him. He obviously bet all his chips on this Iowa contest and lost, so as Kenny Rogers use to sing, YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW WHEN TO HOLD 'EM AND WHEN TO FOLD 'EM !!!!!!
Margie| 8.14.11 @ 4:48PM
Yeah, he knew when to fold 'em. His focus should have been on what he brings to the job as President, what he'll do to defeat Obama, and what he'll do once he's in the Oval Office, instead of picking on Michele.
He blew it, he knows he blew it. He must not have really wanted the job.

He was a whanker from the word go.
Here's the skinny...
When you have to try and lob bombs and Bachman because you cowered to Romney in a debate...
You might be a whanker...
It's only fitting that this PHONY... let his announcement go through CNN first....
Rino Whanks are all the same.
