For President, I prefer to have someone who has experience in office - preferably a Governor.

I love Ted Cruz but IMHO my money this time around is for Scott Walker.

Forged in the Fire of running in a Socialist Kabutz ( for what 3 or 4 times, I lost track!) called Wisconsin and beating them back to only get all the indy's to bring him to victory works for me.

Gov. Snyder from Michigan as his running mate? Too much of a Rino for me, which leaves me still looking for a VP. Maybe Gov Martinez, or Nicky Haley, Ford's former CEO Alan Mulally for VP would work for me also.

Me too.

Despite what some Freepers would like to think, there aren't nearly enough Texases, Idahos and West Virginias to get to 270 electoral votes. This is why I'm not yet sold on Cruz as a candidate.

We have to start picking off some "purple" states, and need a candidate who has a track record of convincing the swing voters in those states that sound financial policy and limited government is the only recipe for prosperity.

And Dr Carson? I like ya a lot, Ben, but you're not presidential material, not yet.

Walker is looking good so far, Martinez, and Haley too. I’ll be checking their records for sure and keeping an eye on them, to see how the react in emergencies and under fire.
