There was a spike in the national press interest on the subject this past week after U.S. Rep. Mike Pence wowed the annual conference of the Americans for Prosperity and scheduled a fundraising trip to South Carolina.

It followed his appearance at the National Tea Party on the federal mall in August as well as speaking trips to Iowa and California. Roll Call noted that Pence’s campaign staff passed out small cards on the mall featuring his photo above the words “Mike Pence, Standing Strong.” The back of the card invited voters to “Join the Pence Team.”

He'd certainly be in my top 4 or 5 list of acceptable candidates.

He has promise. It will take someone who will STAND AND FIGHT against the tyranny that we now face.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Absolutely not. Congressmen don't have the name recognition or the experience to be President.

VP pick at the most.

[jazusamo]

Bump!

[pissant]

Either do Senators with mere months in office under their belt, right?

[taillightchaser]

He’d get my vote. But, at this point my cat would get my vote. Anything would be better that what we have, even (gag) Biden.

[Huck]

Me too. I’d like him even better if he didn’t support federal tort reform. But pretty much all the GOP is for it, so I have to let it go.

Palin-Pence in 2012?

[Brilliant]

Better than the rest. Not saying much though.

[Senator Goldwater]

Barbour/Pence/Palin.

In any order.

[rintense]

The PP ticket to get all wee wee’d up about!

[pissant]

My idea of proper tort reform you’d really hate.

[Huck]

Go ahead...what is it?

[Kimberly GG]

Isn’t he the author of the amnesty “touch back” path to citizenship scheme...the one that was going to allow illegals to return home briefly and come back through a revolving door to citizenship so their jobs weren’t disrupted and employers weren’t inconvenienced? Or was that someone else?

[pissant]

It’s the same as my idea for reforming congress. It has liberal use of tar, feathers, and gallows.

[luckystarmom]

I like all of them so far.

[ChessExpert]

I like Pence too. I liked him the first time I heard him, and every time since. Perhaps he is consciously modeling himself after Reagan. Well why not? It was a winning formula. Also, I think it is sincere. I think too many ("moderate"? or "sophisticated"?) Republicans are ready to say the Reagan formula no longer applies.

I like Newt Gingrich also. He always has had strengths, and he may have improved with age. Sarah Palin has the right values, and is hated for it by the left. There are other good conservatives out there. I just don't know them well.

Republicans have to close their primaries. I don't want another McCain. One was, and is, too many.

[pissant]

I know he was trying to get the House conservatives to work with the Amnesty democrats on a compromise. I can’t remember the details, but Duncan Hunter reeled him back in.
