I’m a Cruz guy but I’m going to leave Walker and Paul alone.

Same here.

I will also leave Perry and Rubio alone.

One sad side effect of injuring these candidates in a presidential primary is that it also hurts them when they go back to win a senate, house or gubernatorial race. They might not be the perfection so many conservatives seem to hope for, but the are far more on the conservative side than they are on any other side.

We’ve all but told a young guy like Rubio to take a hike. I find that to be extremely perfectionistic to the point of injuring one’s own cause.

My feelings as well. Cruz is my first choice, Walker my second. Paul is way down there behind Ben Carson or Rick Santorum but definitely ahead of Huckabee, Jeb or Christie.

There is a lot I like about Rand Paul. I can even reconcile his moonbat views on foreign policy by rationalizing that four to eight years of relative isolationism might actually be our most prudent course given how ObaMao has wrecked the military.

What frosts me more than some of Rand Paul's nuttier views is his followers: They will swamp the early caucus and small primary states to convince us he has 20% to 25% of the hardcore voters on his side, almost all of whom will magically disappear when November rolls around.

I'm a Walker guy but I'm happy to leave everyone but Bush, Huckabee, and Christie alone.
