    Is a candidate serious if he/she can’t win?

    Intellectually serious? Or can seriously win?

    This is why I seriously think we need at least one more party. I don’t agree 100% with either of the two parties right now (conservative financially and liberal socially) .

    [quote=DataAgent]I like Gary Johnson too. But he stands zero chance of being the top GOP candidate. Gary wants to legalize pot and that position is in direct conflict with core Republican values.[/quote]

    This is a serious question. What are the core Republican values?

    I thought I knew but, not so sure anymore.

    20 years from now pot legalization will be viewed completely as a State’s Rights issue. It might happen sooner, but demographically there’s just too much support once the boomers become the retirees and “South Park Republicans” are in their 40s and running the show. There’s just too much demographic support for legalization amongst younger folks, support that hasn’t eroded as Gen X gets older. Party “core values” constantly shift with demographic trends.

    He’s getting some mainstream attention, but John Huntsman to me is what a Republican “should” be; intelligent, pro-science, and rational. Huntsman could probably beat Obama in the general, but he’ll never make it past the right wing base.
