Gee. I’m going to take up fishing, so I can go fishing on election day.

That scenario is so promising and exciting I’ll have to reach for my Prozac several times a day. Oh, the horror of having to choose just ONE!

That doesn't address my other two criteria, which is where I have questions.

And I don't know enough about all the other names yet to say they are not suitably conservative.

My household will vote for none of the above mentioned but would consider Trump, Palin or a TBNL.

If that happens, i’ll not be casting a vote for President!


If it happens I’ll write in Palin.. who knows.. if enough of us do.. she might win.

I’ve voted for T-paw in the past.. it’s always been a “well the other guy is a commie socialist nut job.. SO I guess it’s t-paw”

I am having a hard time holding my nose and voting for Rinos.

The Christian Science Monitor has become a pretty liberal publication. In actuality, it is just online and is no longer in print.

Ditto for us we are not holding our nose again like we did for McStain. If it gets that bad we will write in our candidate which at the moment is either Bachmann or Cain.

I'm with you, Dale. I used to state that I will vote for whomever gets the GOP nod, just to keep Obama at one term. But the more I think about it, and after hearing Limbaugh's lament that we may have to settle for a milquetoast candidate if we wish Obama gone.
I am at the point, or very near it, where I believe that if a majority of this nation's voters would discard Palin in preference of Obama, then so be it. Proof that Ben Franklin was indeed prescient, if not a horndog. Though a very wise and patriotic horndog.

the only Reaganite in the filed is Palin.

the only Gov to leave her state with a $12 billion in saurplus is Palin.

the only gov to cut 9.5% from the budget during a boom time was Palin.

the only candidate to cut 86% of federal earmarks was Palin.

The only one that beat an incumbent Gov in the filed is gov Palin.

the only one that meets your requirements on the filed is Palin. go ahead and look you will not find anyone that left their state with a $12 billion surplus, that believes in state's rights, practices Reaganism and has proven to be able to win against the odds besides Gov Palin. And the 2010 elections shows her ability to win over the middle has 63 of her endorsed candidates in all areas of the country won seats.

If it comes down to those three then Barbour will have my vote. Mitt you really DORKED Mass. Of course they wanted you to but that is beside the point. I'm a proud birther Tim. You will never have my vote.

Unlike last time, I will not vote for any RINOS. Even if it lets Barry win.

Pawlenty and Barbour seem to be competing right now (and you could include Daniels, too) to be the establishment alternative to Romney. So I only expect one to survive. And I expect T-Paw to be the one to fade.

I am also dubious about the remarks on here. Y’all know that if the race comes down to Haley and MITT, that most of ya will be in the booth voting for Haley (if only to stop MITT). I know many in NH will be supporting whomever is running 2nd to MITT, if MITT is expected winner.

First task, STOP MITT in IA and NH and SC. Then the race really opens up.
