Who will be the GOP nominee for president in 2012?

Posted on 09/22/2010 6:10:09 AM PDT by Jefferson Liberal

I think it will be Jeb Bush because he is a successful former Governor of a state with no income tax, he speaks fluent Spanish and latinos love him, and he is an intellectual heavyweight.

Who do you think it will be?

Not a single one of the “front runners” or “most likely” candidates were on the ballot in 2008. So, most of these questions are meaningless.

I, personally, would like to have Bolton at the top of my ticket. Palin would be an awesome candidate, but I fear for her and her family’s safety with the nutbars who’d like to see her dead.

Palin would be perfect to replace the idiot who’s the RNC Chairman . . . an affirmative action appointment at the least . . . and a bad one at that. Palin would bring vigor, beauty, and a Coulter-like voice that would put some fire in the bellies of the conservatives.

I must say I'm a little surprised at all of the bites you're getting. The fish are hungry today.

It will be Palin. I highly doubt we’ll nominate a Congressperson, so Pence and Ryan are out of the running. Our party normally likes executive experience and rarely nominate Senators or Congressmen, with exceptions of course (Dole and McCain).

It’s between Romney and Palin, as they are the ones who have prior experience of running or being a part of a national campaign. That experience will help them tremendously. I think Palin eventually beats Romney for the nomination.

As for all of the others running, they make a nice story, but they truly don’t stand a chance. They’re just hoping this will help them for a 2020 run or a slot as Palin’s V.P.

Romney would be awesome as Treasury Secretary, too.

He doesn’t wow me at all but has the proper credentials, sort of like eating engineered smoked salmon.

It tastes the same but seems to have the slightest almost undetectable twang of something “man made”.

Palin will be the most wanted...BUT, will it happen that she will be the first woman POTUS? If we allow further Sharia laws in America to mature then we will absolutely NEVER see a woman POTUS, mark my words.

A man will get elected..so it won’t upset Islam, this is my final prediction.

I am a fiscal conservative, though. Let’s get this budget balanced and reduce our debt.

I have nothing against the idea of Palin being the candidate, but I think she’d have a lot of trouble getting the party chiefs to let it happen.

Thanks! And though I like Sarah, I tend to agree she may have trouble getting there. Plus... I think she's having a great time wielding the clout she has in introducing young conservatives to the public forum (yes... I know... the McCain endorsement notwithstanding). And finally... I don't know if she'd want to absorb the pay cut that'd come with the Presidency. She's making some good $ now.

His pictures are so different I wonder if he has a someone who doubles for him.

That one photo shows something clearly wrong with his mouth.

I looked up a Bells Palsy mouth. He might have the beginnings of that..but that one photo sure looks like a stroke.

Fair enough. I would say that almost all universities are centers for political correctness.

I’m quickly leaning toward troll. Sometimes they aren’t smart enough to keep their mouths shut.

Obama didn’t have a one-term former president father and a two-term former president brother who both had the misfortune of being HATED by the left, and the perception of having betrayed their own party (Bush 41 by breaking the No New Taxes pledge and Bush 43 by massively expanding Mediacare and Federal Education and pushing an Amnesty for illegal aliens bill.)
