My favorites are:

Haley Barbour
Paul Ryan
Bobby Jindal
John Hoeven
Eric Cantor

I don’t really know about the others, but I truly believe Haley Barbour would be the toughest and roughest when it comes to countering Obambi’s Chicago mob. McCain refused to fight back at crucial times in 2008, I hope that mistake is not repeated in 2012.

Pluses for Haley

1) Served as RNC Chair during the 1990s. He knows aoubt building grass root organizations.

2) He is sharp witted.

3) He will serve two full terms as Governor of MS. Haley did great jobs in the cleanup efforts with Hurriances hitting his state. Thus he has a record of COMPETENCE.

Negatives

1) Haley worked as a DC lobbyist. The media will try to dig up how much he made as a lobbyist and who he dealt with.

2) Haley is from MS. His thick southern drawl may be a turn off to the West Coast, New England, and possibly the Midwest.

3) Running against Obama. The media will paint a Haley vs Obama as a referendum on racism. An old southerner vs a black marxist. The message will be “Does America want to move forward or turn back the clock?”
