"and Sarah’s support among the base is collapsing due to her endorsing him"

ABP - Anyone But Palin. I know, I know The left leaning media will make any GOP nominee a baby eating, woman beating, homophobic, religious nut job. But Palin is sufficiently poisoned to a LARGE percentage of the voting block that she simply would face too great of an uphill battle, IMHO.

A new face has a MUCH better change to get a greater percentage of swing voters.

Hey, you’re not 0bama!
He has nothing but love for commies and muzzies.

Here I thought you were 0bama coming to FR to tell us which GOP ticket you would most want to run against.

I’m not completely sold on any of them, but from the list I’d say Palin followed by Pawlenty. Newt has too much baggage. Jindal is too green (inexperienced not environmental)and Barbour being a former tobacco lobbyist makes him unelectable nationally. I don’t need to explain Huck and Mitt’s problems.

“I want a stong kick-arse man, who will protect America and its people.”

Sarah Palin has more guts than any male in the GOP. She’s the only one kicking arse these days.

Palin/Barbour ticket or Barbour/Palin ticket.

No Newt or Huckabee

Newt quits while the fight is still going on, and Huckabee caved in a few states to allow McCain to beat Romney.

Romney will never win because he is a Mormon, like it or not. Besides he believes their should be a law that says all Americans have to buy health care, so in what way is he different then Obama?

Pawlenty makes McCain look like Reagen, so no Pawlenty none of the time.

Real bad choices on your list by the way.

None of the Above.

I think it’s too much of an uphill battle for Palin, and she’s not helping herself with the base with some of the things she’s done lately. I’m more skeptical now than I was during the last campaign that she has good knowledge of the issues. She’d be alright as a VP candidate again.

Barbour is probably okay, but I’m not sure how well that accent would sell in much of the country.

Huckabee doesn’t seem genuine. I don’t trust him on fiscal matters.

Romney seems genuinely plastic. I don’t trust him on much of anything.

Pawlenty seems too mousey. Seems like a nice guy and someone who would be competent at the job though.

Gingrich is a has-been and has taken some bad positions on certain issues. Would probably do very well in the debates.

Any of them would be better than Obama, but surely the Republican party can come up with a better candidate than any of those.

If you think I am a ‘dude’ than you not only cannot read but are hopelessly uncouth.

I think the Republicans are going to be running against Hillary in 2012.

Out of the list you posted, Palin is my choice.

However, I definitely would not rule out staunch support for DeMint, Pence, Hunter and Barbour (also on your list.)
