He is handsome, articulate, and would win if he entered the race. I pray he does! I don't think Sarah will run, neither will Demint.
The Republicans have never run anyone other than white men, only one time a white woman VP. Going up against Obama the political timing is not ideal for yet again two rich old white men on the ticket. We would get a counter effect with either a Hispanic or a woman. Obama can’t win re-election without the Hispanic vote, and their loyalty to him is very breakable. The time is ripe for the current generation of Hispanics to escape the plantation. Women’s plantation-voting loyalty seems harder to break.
Well, three years is a long time for someone to be "convinced" that s/he is just what we need....
As it stands, I think that the conservative wing of the GOP actually has a pretty strong bench to choose from, despite the propaganda being milled out by the MSM. We certainly don't need to rely on retreads like Romney or Huckabee, who aren't even all that conservative anywise. The way I figure it, our bench is as follows (and keep in mind, these individuals haven't necessarily said they WANT to run, I'm just listing them because I think they'd be good if they did, and are reasonably ready to do so):
Front bench
Jim DeMint
John Thune
Sarah Palin
Mitch Daniels
Mike Pence
Bob McDonnell
Back Bench (listed here not because I think any less of them, just that they need a little more "experience" in the cursus honorum sense of the word or that they need to be "better known" - may be good Veep material)
Marco Rubio
Michelle Bachmann
Ken Cucchinelli
John Hoeven
Jim Inhofe
