But former Republican Rep. Tom Davis, who used to run the House Republican campaign operation, added a few more to the mix today in a wide-ranging interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Asked who he viewed as 2012 contenders, the Virginia Republican replied: “I don’t think it’s anybody out there right now that’s running around, to be honest.”
Palin, he said, is too divisive. “I think as a candidate she probably hurts,” he said, adding to a chorus of Republicans recently dispelling a presidential bid for the former Alaska governor.
Romney is too spent. “In a sense he’s the best candidate in terms of that he looks like a candidate, he’s educated like a candidate, but just watching him on social issues and stuff move back and forth, I think he’s kind of spent,” Davis said, adding, “That’s just my judgment; I know a lot of people like him.”

Palin has my vote.
That explains a lot.
*cough* 256-177 *cough*
First of all, who the hell is Tom Davis..secondly, I can give a rats behind what he thinks. Just another RINO looking to “moderate” the GOP
By the logic of the RINOs, Reagan should never been nominated. Nor Obama. Nor FDR. None of them were centrist moderates. Now is no time for preverving the status quo, which is all centrist moderates ever do. They don’t have the brains or the convictions to do anything else.
Tom Davis is upset that Va conservatives picked Gilmore over him in the 2008 Senate race. Too bad. Conservatives should have let Davis get the nod so he would have been smacked down by Mark Warner. Tom Davis is looking at challenging Jim Webb in 2012.
She’s better off leaving the OP(formerly the GOP) if she has any chance of advancing he Conservative cause.
Palin. Palin. Palin.
Anything else is just a RINO
And why is Palin divisive? Because to so many potential candidates she is a †hreat. The actual person is nothing like the caricature drawn of her by her
“friends” and enemies. If the country is in bad shap as it was in 1979, for instance, her negatives would soon become positives. I can’t imagine a more “anti-Obama” than she.
A RINO from Northern Virginia, infamous for the hearings on steriod use in professional baseball. He is a weenie. He decided not to run in 2008 and the seat went to another weenie, Gerry Connelly - formerly the Chairman of the BOS of Fairfax County, VA. He is a major weenie and the 2 of them are friends.
I plan on putting a Palin sticker (removable) on my truck in another year or two.
I would like to ask this guy face to face to explain to me why Palin is devisive.I bet it would be a typical rino answer.
Sure sounds like the scenario I’ve predicted is playing out nicely.
As always the “moderates” are lying bottom feeding scum who will happily hand a seat to the democrats if they think they can use fear to put it in RINO hands in the future.
Republicants like this fool are the divisive ones.
Hunter/DeMint 2012
He clearly doesn’t understand his own party. The GOP has always nominated a candidate that has national campaign experience. As much fun as it is to talk about candidates like Thune and Kasich, the fact is, they don’t stand a chance at winning the nomination.
Our nominee will come from one who has already been tested and involved in a national campaign, whether primary or general. Right now, it will be one of the 3: Huck, Palin or Romney.
And if all goes right, Palin will emerge as the winner.
Kinda like Tinky Winky Graham complaining about voters sending “confrontational” representatives to Washington.
Tom Davis ran the NRCC from 2000 to 2004. He did a good job as NRCC chair. The GOP gained seats under his leadership. Davis planned on running for the Senate in 2008. Davis’s wife served as a VA state senator. Davis wanted to pass his US House to his wife. Davis’s wife in her re-election bid, campaigned to the Left of her Dem opponent. Davis’s wife supported gay marriage and gun control! CNN fawned over her as a good Republican. Davis’s wife lose her Va state senate seat in 2007. Tom Davis failed to win the GOP nomination for the 2008 Senate race. Since being out of politics, Tom Davis has morphed into an Uber RINO.
