“although there’s something about Pence that makes me a bit nervous”

No executive experience.
He’ll cure that by governing Indiana.

Agreed, for the most part.

The “front runner” at this point in 2007 was Rudy. We all knew that was unlikely.

Also Romney (Romney Care), Newt (NY House Race, global warming, bashed Christine O’Donnell etc...) and Jeb Bush (The Bush family has a reputation).

TO me she does. She ain’t nearly as conservative as the ones I mentioned.

Maybe she'll choose King as her running mate. Would you vote for that?

Ras has always been a bit of a left-leaner. Therefore, I trust very little of what he says.

I’ve always said I’ll vote for her if she wins the nomination.

Cain came out of Iowa last week saying he is “very confident” about the financial part of things, so we shall see!

Way too early for that. Time to make sure we get a couple of rock ribbers drafted into the primary race.

5 minutes of assuming a national presence, any Republican will have too much baggage, manufactured by the MSM and force fed the public 24/7.

Sad that so few have learned this lesson, still after all these years. Which is why we continue to nominate milktoasts...they have no "baggage"!

Along with that famous "dark horse" who has been hiding under his desk for 2 years!

That’s why I like Palin. She is her own “political operative” and she’s darn good.

“He means Jeb Bush. I don’t want any more Bushies. They have proven they are better than Obama”

99% of the elected politicians in America are preferable to Obama. If the Republicans nominated Sheriff Clarence Dipnik I might vote for him. He’s an idiot, but he’s preferable to Obama.

It will either be DeMint, Bachmann, Cain or Pence.

I don't have problem with these names except for Cain. He couldn't even win his race in a Senate primary, and now wants to run for a president?

Sarah is a walk-on, her canidiacy would require an expendature of lot less money win or loose.

True. But 2004 did not have the tea parties. He would have crushed Isackson in 2010

I thnik they will be looking for someone that eases the tensions in peoples lives. People are probably not in the mood for anything other than a strong, hands on problem solver and policy wonk in both foreign and domestic matters.

We are in a mess and everyone knows it.

No firsts, no socialists, no gimmicks. People are tired of the chaos that has been going on since the advent of Obama.

We need an adult, not some petty little canned speechmaker tied to George Soros.

She’s better than good. She’s exceptional. I’m supporting Sarah Palin.

DeMint, Bachmann, Cain or Pence.

I am absolutely leaning toward DeMint at this point.
I love Sarah Palin but she is scaring me a little lately with her (alleged) "DADT" and "women in combat" positions. I gotta find out more about where she is on those things, because to me they are non-negotiable.
