And which questions exactly did they not answer to meet your lofty standards and why?
Hillary has probably answered 3 if that, and she has officially been a candidate for over 2 months.
:1orglaugh
It is starting to remind me a little of the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election - the one The Terminator won - which included Gary Coleman, Gallagher, and Mary Carey as candidates. Here's the official ballot from that insanity.

A damn shame Bachmann is sitting this one out, but there may still be some small hope Palin will jump in. That would be so cool
There are some decent candidates in the field, a lot better than what you wing nuts are offering.. Any party that has had Al Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich as serious candidates doesn't have any room to criticize anyone else. If repubs are an episode of Hee Haw, then Dems are an Episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians.
So besides being obese, what is the problem with Christie? He certainly isn't a far right ideologue. Abortion wouldn't be in danger of being overturned and gays won't be thrown off of buildings under a president Christie.
Lindsey Graham has been vilified by some in the right as too moderate/liberal and John McCain's lapdog. And Satan himself Ted Cruz, has more intelligence in one of his snot rags than you are able to display here. Pataki is well respected and most of the candidates have a record of accomplishment. So basically the repubs have some right wingers and moderates to throw their hats into the ring. Of course none of them will meet your approval because you are a radical socialist bordering on Marxist.
Hillary Clinton isn't exactly setting the world on fire and although you say you don't like her, she is all you got and will vote for her, that is if you are even allowed to vote.
This election is a year and a half away, it is stacking up to look like an interesting race. I sense fear in your posts. I don't know what is going to happen in 2016 but I am certain that Dems won't run away with it like they did with Obama. You better be celebrating victory on election night, because if you don't, gloating by repubs here will be at such a level that you will start breaking shit.
Well for one he's good on some things and then retarded on others. When was Kucinich a serious candidate? And when was it that Sharpton ran and where was the only state he did well? Your state wasn't it? Lindsay Graham this week said "if you are against war then don't vote for me." He wants war everywhere. I don't care how smart Ted Cruz is. He's not smart enough to know how ridiculous a big majority of the country and his own party see him and is knowingly willing to be a punching bag on a sinking ship. He's also not smart enough to believe the earth is more than 6000 years old.
haha you sense fear in my posts? really? fear? And why wouldn't I be allowed to vote? Oh yeah, you guys are gonna suppress the votes at an all-time high this time around. With Sheldon and the Koch bros pitching in over a billion $$$$$ there's gonna be some serious shit in the works this time around. They're gonna own this government voters be damned.
You're the one who should be afraid. EVERY poll taken shows the right is losing. More dem votes are cast each year by larger margins nationwide. Your sure thing got beat in 2012 by more than 5 million votes. I think that's more than Reagan beat Carter by isn't it which is considered one of the worst landslide elections in history. I'd start shopping for your beach house in Costa Rica and get that hair growing now because Huckabee is right, the end is coming.

Nah. My political fears have already been realized.
You will be the one curled up in the fetal position sucking your thumb if you lose. The polls had Romney winning too and we see how that worked out.

We don't have to win California to win the general. Its been done several times. Now you are showing your political ignorance. Pataki ,Rubio, Paul, Perry Walker can all defeat her. This juggernaut that you think is gonna steamroll to the White House may be the most over hyped thing since Y2K.
Just 2 election cycles ago repubs won without Illinois, Mass , California and New York.
Get your head out of your ass. Just because you want something to be so doesn't make it that way.

A LOT has changed in those 2 cycles. And in 2000 your guy didn't win the election. His brother gave it to him. He lost the popular vote. in 2004 the Bush won because of 9/11 and the war. He had sold the iraq war and the fear mongering was at record levels. Without 9/11 it might have been very different.
And I think you should apply your own advice to yourself. Even Laura Ingraham has said that "the window for a republican to ever win a general election again is getting almost too narrow" if that lunatic says it, who is also very smart and VERY conservative, how false can it be? her finger is on the pulse of your party, even more than yours counselor.

Laura is using a motivation tactic. If we lose in 2016 then she may be right . You know, I haven't made any bold predictions, but I remain hopeful you on the other hand are going yo look like a damn fool if you lose if you don't already.
She isn't the only one saying it. Polls say it and the voting results say it. Look at your state. 52% of the votes are for democrat candidates. You just have it creatively carved up so you still win 80 of the elections. 10 of 13 state reps are republican even with only 44% of the votes.
Oh stop it with the gerrymandering shit Gerrymandering only benefits when a party is in the majority and NC repubs won before they were in the position to gerrymander . Democrats controlled the legislature for over 100 years in my state and there has only been 4 republican governors in my lifetime. Quite frankly it would be nice if you knew just half of what you think you know or run off about here.
if 52% of the votes in NC are cast for democrats but republicans hold 10 of 13 elected positions what other way is there to see it dude? the voting majority in NC are not being represented. That isn't how the constitution was intended. it benefits those who have your agenda, but it doesn't accurately represent the wishes of the people. Again, 52% is a majority. That's not spin, that's fact.
I have been on the losing end of democrat politics in my state all my voting life. Yet after corruption and abject failures by democrats my party finally took control and things are improving. We have been gerrymandered to favor dems for so long that if dems aren't winning elections then tough shit, payback is hell.
Especially if it pisses people like you off, then it warms my heart .

at the expense of misrepresentation of the people of your state? Typical republican. fuck the people and their wants and needs. The beauty will be when a REAL progressive is president and your party is phased out entirely. You'll be nothing more than a few klan meetings and some guys on a porch talking about the good old glory days like a couple of has been once upon a time high school football players.
They got what they wanted. A republican house and senate and governor. Gerrymandering didn't have a damn thing to do with it . And a damn fine governor in Pat McCrory at that . Especially after that train wreck that was Beverly Perdue and that crook Mike Easley.
