Don't be fooled, this guy is a total moran when it comes to making predictions.


Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Brooks argued forcefully for American military intervention, echoing the belief of neocon commentators and political figures that American and British forces would be welcomed as liberators.

He made a good impression at neocon lobbies recently.

Chris Christie and Herman Cain should do pretty well.

Chris Christie....should do pretty well.

Doesn't Christie have to run first for that to happen?

Christie hasn't announced yet, but I think he'll have a large backing if he does.

Christie has said numerous times that he won't run. Why don't you guys believe him?

I did say "IF." If he did run.

I doubt that. I think Pawlenty very well might catch steam and become the front runner. But if he does, it will be a result of Romney hemorrhaging supporters to him. If that happens, Romney won't be the other top contender, someone with a different angle will be. If the Huckster runs, it will be he. If not, it could be Barbour or Palin.

Dang. I am so glad that they went ahead and settled this for me. Now I don't have waste my time watching debates, reading information, or thinking.

The Republican party will not learn its lessons. Time after time, they keep electing establisment goons and they keep getting bigger government...

I really think at this point anything can happen. Even Ron Paul could win. For that to happen we will probably have to have a currency crises. even then he still would have a tough time.....but a much better chance of winning

The media has been pushing pawlenty for the past year - despite him ALWAYS getting 5% or less in every poll. Recently though, he's been getting more popular (probably due to media attention) - he could easily win the nomination when the debates start.

As I've said in numerous threads.....Pawlenty should not be discounted, and in fact should be treated as a front runner, because of his extensive ground game. He set up a PAC that dealt exclusively with state candidates in Iowa and New Hampshire about a year and a half ago, and donated big to state candidates who ultimately got elected last November. The state GOP owes him in both of those states, and will be favorable to him.

What if there's an economic collapse this year on in early 2012? Gas reaches $5-$10 a gallon? All hell breaks loose in the Middle East? Pawlenty is the man who knows how to deal with all of that?

I'm sure he'll say it all happened because Obama is "from a different planet"

Pawlenty supported cap and trade, climate change, and global warming initiatives:
