This is starting to remind me of some of the ghosts of elections past.
Hermin Cain is the Steve Forbes/Alan Keyes candidate. (Popular with freepers, and doesn't do bad in the polls, can be competitive, won't win the primary).
Romney is the Bush/McCain/Dole (this is very very very bad).
Pawlenty is the Lamar Alexander/Orin Hatch (leans conservative, but not a bedrock guy)
Michelle Backman is the Phil Gramn and Fred Thompson (Very conservative, excites freepers, has experience, but is not the establishment pick).
Newt Gingrich is Harold Stassen/Liz Dole (Best chance has passed).
Ron Paul is Ron Paul (which means he is Ron Paul).
Gary Johnson is Ron Paul (except he doesn't look like him).
We'll see what happens with Palin, but the above don't look to good, my back up is Bachman, but outside of her, I can't say I could visualize Palin picking even one of these guys to even be VP.
excelent analysis/comparison:
“I can’t say I could visualize Palin picking even one of these guys to even be VP.”
Isn’t Jar Jar Binks available?
