Marco Rubio. If the GOP nominates him it will be a landslide victory against Obama.

Mitch Daniels:

Advantages: A prime candidate for the presidency, Daniel’s declined to run last year...

Good thing, too, because there was no presidential race last year...

It will not be anyone but one of the people who have devoted money, time. and energy into actually running.

A compromise would be made with those people.

As if we needed any more proof that the establishment is out of touch - and we don’t - they keep floating Jeb Bush. How can they be so tone deaf? There is no way in hell anyone will accept another Bush.

Jeb is probably the best of the three, but no way we’ll ever elect another one.

Thomas Sowell?

I’d vote for him.

For everyone who thinks a brokered convention is the conservative salvation, keep in mind that a moderate is more likely to emerge than someone seriously to the right. Just for a little historical perspective the last Republican candidate to come out of a brokered convention was Thomas Dewey in 1948. Remember his first term?

Politics, news, and opinion writers love to talk about a brokered convention because of the inherent appeal of discussing and analyzing the unknown (and because it sells).

It is the same reason sports writers like to talk about, for example, the upcoming NFL draft.

But, while there will be an NFL draft, there will not be a brokered Republican convention.

Paul Ryan - I could vote for him

Chris Christie - Decent on economic issues, awful on social issues, basically a fat Mitt Romney.

John McCain - No! No and h*ll NO! I would not vote for him even if my vote decided the election. THAT is how much I hate him.

Jeb Bush - I agree with Jesse Jackson for once, Stay out da Bushes. We don't need a political dynasty in this country, especially one made of RINO's.

Sarah Palin - Would vote for her in a heartbeat, but don't think she wants it.

Bobby Jindal - I'd vote for him, although he doesn't really, as Chris Matthews put it, send a tingle up my leg.

John Thune: - Really don't know enough about him to say...

Mitch Daniels - Another establishment RINO, I'll pass.

John McCain? Well, if they can go with McCain, they should also take into account that Bob Dole is still around and GHW Bush is eligible for another term.

Yes, the mere mention of John McCain re: a brokered convention puts this fantasy concoction in the horseshit category for me. Nothing to see here....

I don't trust what could happen with a brokered convention.

Chris Christie? Absolutely not.

Jeb Bush? No.

John McCain. Are you kidding me?

Does it really matter?

Regardless of which of these “options” we end up with, are we going to get a smaller government and actual “cuts” in spending and repeal of ObamunistCare and controlled borders and a reduction in the illegal population and more energy production here at home and restoration of rules of engagement that actually WIN wars?

I don’t see it in anyone on the list.

There won’t be a “compromise” candidate if a brokered convention. Who runs the GOP convention? The establishment guys make the rules, and they’ll railroad in Romney or some other non-conservative. We do not want a brokered convention.

It could be some little girl's mom, for all we know. I'd be fine with that. But the fact is that my first choice is not running. I hope that between Newt and Santorum they can stop Romney. Rick Santorum is very much not my top choice, but he's an acceptable choice. I'd be happy with Gingrich/Santorum and satisfied with Santorum/Gingrich. As for Romney/Anyone - No, thank you.

Anyone who has endorsed Mitt Romney should be immediately taken off the list. Endorsing Romney is the equivalent of surrendering Reaganism to the GOP-E and should be viewed by all conservatives as a total betrayal.

Other than Sarah Palin (who isn’t even my first choice), the rest are just recycled RINOS!

I think the guy that wrote this is an idiot and intellectually lazy.
