So nobody on that list will be the nominee? Or did I not understand the analysis?

Jindal? Sanford? McCain? Paul? I wouldn’t take this list very seriously.

There is something that tells me someone who is not even on this list is going to emerge between now and late next year

I concur ;-)

Probably too late. If it’s a senator or a congressman, I think we’ve learned our lesson on that one, don’t you?

Can I offer a little political commentary here? After all, I was a third-party candidate in the last two elections

This guy was a candidate in the last two elections? I'm a political junky and never heard of him.

He knows as much as my mother in law...she's dead.

The list is incomplete and I think AMericans in general will have no stomach for untested candidates with little executive expeience after the ineptitude of this inexperienced administration. Personally I think a Hayley Barbour type will be the next POTUS.

Looks like an incomplete list.

Where’s Paul Ryan, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Bob McDonnell, John Thune, Tom Coburn, Jim DeMintt, etc etc etc?

Lots of good potential candidates out there.

I am betting on Romney getting the nomination if the Kenyan has no serious opposition from other Social Democrats. If he is the only one on that side the Democrats will flood the Republican primaries and, with the RNC, will choose the “Republican” candidate. Romney is surely counting on that effect.

More likely would be Palin/Barbour or Palin/Bolton or something in that vein.

WOW! I didn't know BETUS did political betting! Going to have to check that out.

Even though I don't bet I joined BETUS several years ago to get the sports mags and....aahummm...calenders.

I strongly believe that the next GOP nominee for POTUS is not on this list. Unless the United States has a complete financial collapse that is worse than the Great Depression, none of these is electable if you by the current polls. Yes, is my opinion, and it is only an opinion; however, you do have to consider that the current polling might be correct.

Paul Ryan and Chris Christie are the first who came to my mind as well. Ditto DeMint.
