How about you advocate FOR someone, rather than getting in the way?

Getting in the way of what? Anointing Sarah Palin? If I knew some names, I'd name them. I'm not trying to "get in the way" of anything, except maybe the premature acceptance of a leader. I believe in competition. I think we should be picky, not hasty, and I'm not sold on Sarah. Sorry.

If you have a favorite candidate, speak up.

I don't. That's why I am raising the question. We need a FIELD of prospects, not just one. People mention Jindal. Fine, throw him on the pile. The name that keeps coming up in my mind lately is Newt, but I recognize his flaws and haven't ever been a huge fan overall. But I do think he demonstrates a lot of the qualities we need in whoeever we end up with. He can speak persuasively and in depth on all the issues that matter. And I think he understands what it takes to be a quality executive. I'm not saying he's the guy, but I'd like to see a think tank host a debate of Newt vs Sarah. I think he's smart enough to at a minimum provide a very good test for Sarah, so we doubters can see what she's truly made of.

How about Newt vs Sarah, debating Constitutional issues. You think she'd hold her own?

I realize people get frustrated when someone criticizes without a solution, but sometimes that's just how it is. I don't know who the best person is. I'm skeptical about Sarah. I'd like to see more choices. And none of the ones we had this time around, except maybe Huckabee. I think he's got political talent. It's the nanny state thing that probably kills him.

Who did you support in the primary?
