Right now, my bet is on Newt Gingrich getting in to the race. I think he would have a great chance at a nomination and Gingrich/Palin or Gingrich/Jindal would be very strong tickets with excellent prospects of a 16-year conservative Republican presidency.
My bet is either Gingrich/Palin or Gingrich/Perry.
Selling the “outside” Washington set vs. big establishment Obama and the Dems - “It’s time for real change.” Those tickets could be marketed.
Notice how the GOP is using “unviable” people like Cheney and Gingrich to carry water right now. Their rank and file are nondescript and too far inside the sphere of decision and policy making with regard to the country’s current problems.
