Karger about to shift from "exploratory committee" to "'official' campaign"

[Mr. Morden]

Of course, the burning question is whether this will be enough to get people on this board to stop spelling it "Krager":

[Yelnoc]

I predict he will get over 100 votes in New Hampshire and then drop out.

[Lambsbread]

It's a shame that he won't win. I actually really like him. Too bad the modern GOP has a problem with gays.

[Mr. Taft Republican]

Good for him, won't win, but if he announces first I'll support him.

[feeblepizza]

He seems like a really great candidate. Too bad he's gay.

[Badger]

He seems like a really great candidate. Too bad he's gay.

And you have lost the thread.

I didn't mean to sound homophobic, I meant that as things stand the GOP will not nominate an open homosexual.

would you consider voting for him?

Yes, I would consider voting for him. That's what I meant went I called him a "good candidate"?

You'd want a man who was just a political advisor to become President? I understand large company CEO like Herman Cain, but I would not want any political activist with no elected experience in the White House.

well, for me haley barbour would be a good candidate for the GOP nomination, but I'd never vote for him. Also, I think Feingold is a terrific politician, but if he were to run against obama and I had my right to vote, I'd vote Obama =).

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Who?

[Mr. Morden]

He's now filed the paperwork to make it official:

So yes, a 2012 presidential candidate has left the "exploratory" phase.

Of course, I don't expect that he'll be allowed in the debates or included in any polling questions, so don't get too excited.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Who?

[feeblepizza]

Who?

Fred Karger is a political consultant and gay rights activist from the state of California. He's also openly gay. Needless to say, he can't win.

Thanks for an info (yeah, I could google him)

I knew who he was, but you cant say his name with a who at the end? Wasnt he the first to declare, before Cain?

[America™]

Does he have a better chance than Palin to win New Hampshire?

[The Mikado]

Does he have a better chance than Palin to win New Hampshire?

Is 0 higher than 0?  Not really.

You realize you just described Cain there, right?

Not to say Karger has a gold plated resume, but you'd take a guy that managed a large pizza company and moved to being a radio host over someone that actually worked in the White House?

Yea--but Kargers gay...(just kidding).
Cain is more in line with my views, and has Business experiance. Karger would only make a good Chief of Staff at best.

[Ben Romney]

Love him! A great Candidate and my first choice but probably withou a chance!
