Newt? I plugged my nose to vote for McCain in 2008 - I WILL NOT make a similar mistake in 2012!! If the GOP is dumb enough to listen to the NY Times again (McCain is the strongest candidate the Rs have....etc) then they will deserve to lose yet again!
I love Sarah Palin but I am not sure that she can overcome the mistakes of last year’s campaign and the relentless pressure the MSM would put on her. I never liked Huckabee and I don’t trust pretty boy Romney. I have looked a bit at Jim DeMint and Mitch Daniels as possible contenders and wonder what other FReepers think about them....

Anyone who really thinks that Sarah Palin will not be one of the top 2 in Iowa in January 2012 has either gone Rip Van Winkle over the past 15 months or is totally delusional.

I would love DeMint but he is not hustling for it. I want him to make a lot of noise now with policy statements and critiques of Hussein policies and lots of travel. Palin is be adept at running an honest campaign and knows all the right moves and is coalescing the party right now. My only caveat is her treatment by MSM but at this point MSM is going to grind up any Republican that evinces a possibility of beating the Kenyan in 2012. Palin does bring out the inherent misogyny of the Left, though. The most frantic attacks are directly related to the fact that she is a woman. She is a "lightweight" because she is a woman.She is a "lightweight" because she doesn't scare children. And, of course, she is a "lightweight" because she is from Alaska.

DeMint is a class act. I like John Thune also - a SLIGHT possible RINO tendency, but the guy beat Dasshole, so that’s something there.
