After laying low during Palinpalooza, the former governor is back atop the GOP pack for 2012. Mark McKinnon's year-end rundown of who's hot (Rick Perry) and who's not (Mike Huckabee).
The way things are going, maybe we should go ahead and hold the 2012 elections after all—instead of just reappointing Obama president by acclamation. As we head into 2010, it seems increasingly likely that the 2012 presidential contest will at least be competitive. President Obama’s favorable ratings are now consistently below 50 percent; no candidate has been elected president with a favorable of 47 percent or lower and the Rasmussen Poll this week has him at 44. He has yet to pass any signature legislation on the big issues on which he campaigned, and he now has Afghanistan strapped to his back like a political refrigerator.
• More from McKinnon on the 2012 race Correspondingly, we’re seeing a lot of activity among prospective GOP players. By this time next year, the field will be largely set. What is most interesting, comparing the list today with the one a year ago, is who has fallen off it or otherwise lost altitude. Mark Sanford and John Ensign, once bright lights, have been doomed by the ancient curse of infidelity. Jon Huntsman got detailed to China. Bobby Jindal gave a painful speech which reminded voters of Kenneth from 30 Rock. And Mike Huckabee’s chances took a serious blow when a prisoner he freed as Arkansas governor allegedly shot and killed four policemen before being gunned down himself.
Where does that leave the field today heading into next year? Who’s up and who’s down? Four candidates who started the year on the list are off (Sanford, Ensign, Jindal and Huntsman), replaced by newcomers: Haley Barbour, Mitch Daniels, Joe Scarborough, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry.

None of the above.
Hunter/Demint 2012
Can't read laughing...
Will Romney ever go away? Mitch Daniels for POTUS in ‘12.
Romney is like one of those “whack a mole” games. In more ways than one.
This author cannot be taken seriously. Once he put Joe Scarborough as #6, all of his credibility is shot to hell.

Birds of a feather flock together. McKinnon is a RINO, just like Mitt-Witt, and just like GWB who McKinnon worked for during the 2000 campaign.
WhackAMole...good analogy.
My thoughts:
You Betcha 2012!
Sam Cheney ‘64!
DOA.
“My thoughts: You Betcha 2012!”
I like that!
“maybe we should go ahead and hold the 2012 elections after all—instead of just reappointing Obama president by acclamation”
I realize it wasn’t very common in the previous century for a party to regain power for only one term, but what kind of mindset is it to have expected Obama to be elected in a walk in 4 years just because he won the previous election?
That man’s ego will just not let him admit that the GOP majority is just not interested, much less the country.
It is always interesting, the Mitt & Huck people as well as the old boy network are equally as snarky against Sarah Palin as is the left wing.
Texas has flurished under Perry but, there are a few glitches to worry about. (other than vaccines, property taxes, TTC, etc)
I have seen ‘You Betcha 2012’ on a atleast a half dozen different vehicles around my area (suburban Pittsburgh).
I think CafePress would have them...and the sweet part is those who would be inclined to ‘key’ wouldn’t be smart enough to figure the meaning out.

NO WAY is another loser RINO going to get my vote.
LIB MEDIA: So we couldn’t sink Palin by turning up dirt on her or investigations or propaganda stories so what do we do? It is time to come up with the “we love RINO candidates” plan. It worked for us when Bob Dole ran, it worked for us when we got McCain nominated. It should work for us again when we get Romney in there.
