I would freak out if Rand Paul emerged from New Hampshire because
A)He’s a tarditarian, not a conservative
B)He can’t win a general election
Walker is my first choice. If the GOPE is down with that, good for them. Someone acceptable to both sides would be just fine with me. Charles Evans Hugues.

right now, I’d say the winner of NH would be Rand Paul or Romney with Jeb an underdog. I do not see a road to victory for a “conservative” in NH.
So what is your preference?
Mine is to see that the leading conservative competes and gets 3rd place ... otherwise it opens the door for another conservative” to get 3rd and muddy the waters.

It’s best if Paul loses and fades so he stops taking votes from real conservatives, I have trouble seeing the GOPE lose if Paul makes a deep run. I would not support for Jeb or Paul or Romney (unless it was a 2-way race with Jeb) in a primary.
“Mine is to see that the leading conservative competes and gets 3rd place “
Yes.

It looks like Marco Rubio will pass on running for the presidency in 2016 and instead running for reelection to the Senate; he might then run for governor in 2018 and perhaps president in 2020 or 2024:

I hope that either Patrick Murphy or Gwen Graham run for the Senate for the Dems (or, even better, both of them), since the GOP likely would pick up the House seat or whichever of the two ran, and Rubio would beat either one of them.
The article also says that AG Pam Bondi might take on Bill Nelson in the 2018 Senate race (assuming that Nelson seeks reelection; he might decide to run for governor instead). Sounds pretty good to me. Of course, Gov. Rick Scott might seek the Senate seat as well, and Adam Putnam and Jeff Atwater likely will run for either governor or the Senate that year, so it could be a crowded field.

Well, Scott Walker is an Evangelical Protestant who grew up in Plainfield, Iowa until the age of 10, and his father was a Baptist minister, so he should do pretty well among Iowa’s Evangelical voters.

Well if Rubs is elected Governor in ‘18 and wanted to run for POTUS in 2020 (hopefully this is precluded by a GOP incumbent) he’d have to start running for President almost immediately after getting elected Governor, so what would be the point of the being Governor?
Wiley, sounds like a solid choice for Walker’s campaign.
No Paul Ryan, sexcellent. Looks like Walker is going for it.
