1. Herman Cain. We’ve NEVER elected someone to the presidency who hasn’t held an elected or flag officer position. EVER.
2. Tim Pawlenty. Yawn.
3. Chris Christie. Gun-grabber. Pro-911 mosque, etc.
4. Michele Bachmann. Only one individual has ever won the presidency with just the House of Representatives on their resume. In a strange four-way race. Do you see 2012 being a 4-way race and Rep. Bachmann as Abraham Lincoln?
5. Rick Santorum. Couldn’t win his own state.
6. Bobby Jindal. Probably not a natural born citizen, as his parents were not American citizens at his time of birth.
You could be right about those (and certainly are about a lot of them).
I personally think the USSC would probably rule that both BO and BJ are natural born citizens. Of course, we don’t have that ruling. But at this point, especially with Obama’s precedent and unless that precedent is overturned (unlikely IMO) I think Jindal, whatever some here may believe, probably has a shot. At this point I personally would pull that lever.
Of course, I’d pull it for a number of the others, too.
I don’t know that Jindal’s going to run, though.
Including either Palin or Bachmann.
