I listen to Medved for a while each night and like him very much. I respect his knowledge of history. That's not to say I agree with everything he says. This Iowan does not want Mitt but Palin has not proven her case to me, either.

The jury is still out and it's a long time until the Straw Poll in Aug. I look over the field very carefully--no knee-jerk reactions. I want the most conservative nominee I can get who has a good chance of winning.

FWIW, I am skeptical of Palin. Almost everyone likes her but few think she can pull it off. Everyone's opinion is valuable.

If I could appoint someone, it would be Congressman King, but I can't so I'll deal with those who are actually running.

Pence may throw his hat in the ring and if he does, he's one of my front runners, along with Barbour and Thune.
