for the rap amateur and still waiting for superman. everybody seems to be waiting for superman. the rapture would have been mitch daniels jumping in. they re going to recognize superman is already in the race. some republican donors are waiting for superman, chris cristy. eric canter says he thinks paul ryan should run. i m not running for president. republican s best bet makes it official by immediately attacking the president. his friends like to call him t paul. president obama doesn t have the courage to look the american people in the eye. doesn t have the courage, wrong word to use at this point in time. this guy just killed osama bin laden. he s not the most exciting figure. i m not running for editor in chief. mitch daniels family vetoes his run for president. his wife and daughters don t want him to run. don t throw your wife and daughters under the bus. can he not just say i have decided not to run for president. just a tad unseemly. and the n

mark halperin was traveling with huntsman over the weekend. how did he play in new hampshire, retail politics, new hampshire style, first time out. how did it go? really impressive and not just grading on the curve given it was his first time doing any retail politics in this race. he s been in china for two years. i was pretty impressed by both governor huntsman, ambassador huntsman and his wife. he went into a gun shop, went into a vfw hall, into a harley store, he spoke fluent mandarin with some chinese students who he met, he did lots of the kind of retail stuff, town meeting, and in every respect, wasn t a perfect candidate, but very strong, great connection with the voters and a message i think that was going to play very well in new hampshire. well, is he a first tier candidate, a second tier candidate? what about all the hunger in the party for waiting for superman, waiting for chris christie, waiting for another big figure to come in, and i don t mean that in terms of chri

that statement. yeah, well, i richaappreciat and i understand, knock down any republican nominee. i appreciate ed and his happy warrior style of partisanship. the fact is, this election, no matter who the republican nominee is going to be will be a referendum on the leadership ability or the lack thereof one barack hussein obama. we ll sort it out and it will be a wild time for junkies and political voters. we ll see the field defined. we ll see some get in you may not have thought of and others come up from the populous tea party race and i think it s going to be a rip, roaring good time for people interested in presidential politics. you re watching a live picture of the president in ireland. they surely love him there. you know, there s a really interesting quote i thought today in the new york times from a longtime republican fund-raiser who says, everybody is waiting for superman, and soon they will learn that superman is already in the race
