Poll: What GOP ticket do you think would have the best chance against Obama & Biden in 2012?

Are you kidding? That prediction was dead on, Amnesty will pass very soon too.

[Major Matt Mason]

If the Dems get shellacked in the 2010 elections, Obama won't even be their candidate in 2012.

[ronniesgal]

me too!

[Osage Orange]

Sorry...he has too much baggage.

Period.

Pawlenty/Palin. Here’s why.

McCain is too old.

Romney is too much of an ObamaCare kind of guy.

Huckabee was too lenient with executive clemency decisions as governor of Arkansas.

Gingrich has too many ex-wives and has treated them too shabbily. There are a lot of women who will refuse to vote for him on that issue alone. Conservative and moderate women whose votes we need. He would lose in November.

Others (such as Duncan Hunter or Paul Ryan) are exciting but they aren’t widely known. I think that in order to make a successful run for the presidency, you have to first win statewide office. It’s virtually impossible for someone to win the presidency who hasn’t already served as a governor or senator.

Pawlenty is the governor of a blue state, Minnesota, and he would put that state in play for a presidential election. He’d probably win it, in fact. He’s a true conservative, with a great track record.

[zeebee]

Those two get my vote also.

[stuartcr]

I’d like to see Steve forbes as someones VP choice.

[depenzz]

I tend to agree with you even though Newt has been a little out of step over the years.

[astyanax]

Sure, dead on.
Health care is off the radar.
The tea party picked itself apart.
Yea, you nailed it.
LOL

Liz Cheney/Tom Tancredo

[cva66snipe]

Jimmy Hoffa/Ted Kennedy why not? What harm can they do us now? /sarcasm

[Retired Greyhound]

Bob or Liz?

Actually, I think Norm McDonnell’s impersonation of Dole would be the best bet.

[Zathras]

I like that one.
Palin seems to be proving by deeds that she might make a great RNC chair.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Palin/Bachmann

[madison10]

I like that one. Palin seems to be proving by deeds that she might make a great RNC chair.

Yes. I'm not crazy about the company she is keeping. Sorry, Sarah.

[PizzaDriver]

Joe Arpaio & John Linder
in either order.

[Scythian]

The Tea Party will destroy itself once they realize there are rhino’s at the top of the ticket, the goverment media is already crowning Romney king, and he’s another McCain. The only way the tea party survives is if it rejects the republican party, becasue they are the problem now, holding conservatism back playing everybody for fools, and so far, it’s working quite well.

[Verginius Rufus]

It's very rare for someone who has lost as a major party candidate to come back and win later--since 1840 I think there are only 3 cases--William Henry Harrison in 1840, Grover Cleveland in 1892, and Richard Nixon in 1968. Thomas Dewey and Richard Nixon are the only Republicans who were given a second chance after having lost the election the first time.

So McCain is totally out of the picture, along with G.H.W. Bush and Bob Dole.

Jindal/Bachmann

[Mr. Jeeves]

Gary Johnson and Rand Paul.

No social conservative is going to lay a glove on Obama - if you can't get him on his anti-freedom, anti-economic agenda, you can't beat him at all.
