I would not count out Sarah Palin, should she decide to run.

If she doesn't, what about Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico? Here is what Wikipedia says about him:

Under Johnson's administration, New Mexico experienced the longest period without a tax increase in the state's history, the rate of growth in the state government was cut in half, half of the state's prisons were privatized, state Medicaid was shifted to managed care, and the state was left with approximately 1,000 fewer employees (with no firings) and a budget surplus.[9] Johnson vetoed 750 bills (which was more than all the vetoes of the other 49 Governors in the country at that time, combined), which earned him the nickname Gary "Veto" Johnson.[10]
Someone with the nickname of "Veto" sounds very good to me. And after four years of Obama, it is going to sound even better.

I love Gary Johnson

Social conservatives will HATE HIM though. Which means I will support the guy even more

Johnson understands liberty and freedom and is a first class individual.

I forgot about Gary Johnson. I’ll certainly consider him if he runs.
