Huckabee and Newt are toast.
Ditto Charlie Crist/Scott Rothstein for Senate in FL.
I will say the candidate for this time around has not emerged
I am for the most experienced person — Mitt Romney.
This country needs someone with his business background at this time.
I doubt that anybody who's not totally addicted to politics will have idea what you're referring to. Jindal's rebuttal is a complete non-factor.
I’d add Rick Santorum to your list.
Governor Rick Perry of Texas anyone?
I am with Palin. She is like my child or my mother when it comes to it. I trust my family and I trust her. Palin has immediacy, nor because she earned it but because she lived it, obliviously. It is one thing to know that you project an image but it is another to project an image out of indifference.
William Katz (Urgent Agenda) has mentioned Fred Thompson in this arena too.

Palin, Romney, and Pence so far. Way too early.
I’m too busy actively opposing Obama and his cronies on Congress to think too much about 2012. The fight is 2010 and taking back Congress, then I will worry about 2012.
Let's let the MSM choose our candidate again, why don't we?
They gave us Bob Dull and John McKeating, after all.
What could be wrong with that?
(Conservatism wins every time it's tried. It only loses when you present a RINO and pretend they're conservative.)
Palin and Pawlenty.
Letting the MSM shrill direct opinion gets candidates like McCain.......losers.
Palin, from all appearances with her book tour etc is definitely speaking for the conservative base, the average voter, who make up 75% of all voters not influenced by big money and old style party politics.
Romney is another compromise. Appeals to the left wingers because of his “accomplishments” as a governor. Appeals to the big money corporate lobby that seeks to do business directly with government and bypasses the good of the people.
Huckabee could garner a sizable voting bloc due to his social conservative approach. He would be an alternative to a Pawlenty.
All the others.......crickets. Nothing there for America as a whole.
What the media did to Palin is the same thing they did to George H.W. Bush’s vice president......she’s been “Quayled”.
They kept throwing “tomato” and “Murphy Brown” at Quayle;they’ll keep bringing up Katie “Colon” Couric with Palin...
Yeah it will. Bush got a second term because the Democrats nominated an inept boob to run against him.
Hey I like Fred Thompson. He was the first politician I gave money to, and if he pulls for Palin I am right behind him. The point is that he had his day in the sun now it is Palin’s and Fed is man enough to understand that. I expect Fred Thompson to endorse Palin and if I am wrong I will be hurt. I hold Fred in a great higher light than I do Huckabee or any of the other 2008 candidates. Fred do the right thing (Sarah is a good woman)

Conservatives have MANY potential leaders WITH character/unimpeachable background/appropriate associations/education/demonstrated experience-AND a love for this country and respect for its citizens... who may be considered.
What is more, “O’s” professional ineptitude and personal abrasiveness have all but paved the way for the next Conservative leader. ALL our leadership needs to do is to mimic the approach “O” had. Send a message, (in our case, WITH substance), send it unambiguously and send it consistently!!!!
If an inexperienced, personally objectionable, professionally dubious, and avowedly ANTI-AMERICAn racist and posturing demagogue can become President.... I am sure a Conservative following the Liberals' simple campaign formula can succeed.
Where do you get your information? ACORN has been under the microscope in Louisiana since before the ‘scandal’ broke.
