    Romney is no doubt a walking TFM, but Perry surprisingly seems the more TFTC character here even though he didn’t zip up his man suit and take the bet. Did I misread this situation?

      Rick Perry is an embarrassment to Texas.

      He didn’t respond because he couldn’t remember how many zeros are in $10,000.

    Mitt Romney is a mormon; that effectively bars him from anything fraternity-related.

      ^This being said, he’d still make a better president than Rick Perry.

      ^couldn’t be more wrong. Starting with “that being said” or “with all do respect” then proceeding to say whatever the fuck you want is FaF. 1 lap, ready, go.

    My Adderall/procrastination induced break down of the current GOP Field.

    Mitt Romney: He really alienated himself in the last debate. Mitt’s problem is not with upper-class republicans, in fact that is his greatest strength right now. His problem is that many GOP primary voters are middle class to lower-middle class, and they can’t relate to Romney at all. It’s been clear that he hasn’t been able to rise above 25 percent in Iowa or national polls, and has been losing traction in New Hampshire which he needs to win decisively or he is done. He needs a wide field to be able to win, and with Cain out of the race, and Gingrich picking up his voters, that hurts Romney.

    Newt Gingrich: He right now is doing very well. He’s leading in Iowa and Nationally. His big problem is organization, he doesn’t really have that great a ground game, and that could hurt him in the end in Iowa and New Hampshire. If he can get his game together and win Iowa decisively and can be close in NH, I think he would be favored going into Super Tuesday.

    Rick Perry: Perry’s path to victory is shrinking rapidly. He has absolutely no chance in New Hampshire, where Michelle Bachmann is polling higher then he is at 2.9% to 2.1%. While I don’t think Perry has to absolutely win Iowa, he would need to come in 2nd ahead of Romney to give him momentum going into South Carolina. While he still has a lot of Money, and that is the only reason I can’t totally write him off, I am very doubtful he has a chance anymore at this point.

    Ron Paul: If somehow he can win Iowa, which isn’t the craziest idea in the world, he would have a shot, but I doubt he will. The problem is that while his supporters are very loyal, and he has a great ground game, he ceiling will still only be about 20% of the vote. The way he could win is if Iowa really doesn’t coalesce around 1 candidate and he could win with 20% of the vote.

    John Huntsman: New Hampshire, New Hampshire, New Hampshire. If Romney falls apart between now and Jan. 10th, Huntsman may have a chance. He has reached about 10% in NH polls as of late, and has the best ground game in the state. While it’s unlikely, and would need that Romney falter, Huntsman could have a chance to win NH. If he does pull off the upset, the amount of media attention he would get would give him a boost, and if Gingrich then wasn’t able to lock things up early, he could have a shot.

    Michelle Bachmann: While she is tied for 4th with Perry in Iowa, I truly doubt she could pull it off. Her campaign doesn’t have much money or as good a staff as Rick Perry, and she also is totally unelectable in the General Election. Her time has come and gone pretty much.

    Rick Santorum: He has no chance. He lost a senate seat in Pennsylvania by 20%, ’nuff said.

    Wait, are people seriously saying that Romney is FAF now? This was indeed a TFM, but come on now, dude is Mormon.
