Early Freerepublic.com straw vote - post your preference for 2012 GOP nominee for president.

[RED SOUTH]

Let's get a feel where we are as freepers. It's not too early to be thinking about it either. The race has already begun. Judging by thier activities , so far here is a list of those running or thinking of running.

Huckabee

Romney

Palin

Pawlenty

Gingrich

Barbour

[bmwcyle]

You can’t come up with a better list than that?

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Palin!

[VRWCmember]

Are you kidding me?
Perry would be poison in a national campaign.
He has been a decent enough governor, but he comes across like a televangelist.

[BubbaBasher]

Sarah!

[Plutarch]

This initial thread should be to nominations for inclusion on the straw poll.

THUNE..............86.77

For example, Senator Thune's ACU rating is 86.8, and he might make a very good candidate.

Senator DeMint is the most conservative Senator, he probably could never win the election, but neither could many of those on your straw poll.

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has an interesting story of success and fiscal restraint in the Hoosier State, that would match up well with Obama's profligacy.

[Kansas58]

You are being silly.
Do you think, for a moment, that Barbour has never been forced to support a RINO???

Palin is doing what she has to do.

Grow up and play the game.

[BA63]

Palin / Hayworth

John Bolton - Secretary of State - just sayin'

[Inwoodian]

Barbour

[Eye of Unk]

Do all these nominees pass the “natural born citizen” requirements?

We must obey the laws of the Constitution.

[NormsRevenge]

Where’s Scott Brown? 8-o

[jongaltsr]

Me

and if elected I am going to kick lots of ass.

[Onelifetogive]

I like John McCain.

Is there not a website out there somewhere for you and people like you to post and comment on news articles?

[Sub-Driver]

None of the above......

[GATOR NAVY]

I don’t know who I want but it isn’t any of these.

[TChris]

If not Palin, I might write in Dr. Thomas Sowell.

[Above My Pay Grade]

Palin

[BibChr]

Of that list?

Probably Palin.

[Nam Vet]

I'll go with Sarah, but I sure wish she would double think before endorsing boneheads.
