The following list is from wikipedia, I just can’t see anyone in there who might have a remote chance. The GOP must come up with somebody better than them, or Obama will sweep that election even if he screws up a lot more than up to now:

* Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi[18]
- not known enough, extensive lobbying career, no chance in hell
* Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts[19]
- 2012 is too early for him
* Former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida[20]
- does nobody remember George W. Bush???
* House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia[21]
- he might run, but he is not known enough
* Former Vice President Dick Cheney of Wyoming[22][23]
- Dick Cheney? Seriously, Dick “George W. Bush” Cheney?
* Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana[24]
- maybe a good candidate, but he obviously doesn’t want to run, he is not the type of guy
* Governor Luis Fortuño of Puerto Rico[25]
- Luis who? Puerto Rico? Suuuuure...
* Former Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich of Georgia[26]
- Newt, yeah, we all know who Newt is, so no, no chance
* Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York[27]
- Rudy, I am banking on Florida, Giuliani? Nope
* Former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas[28]
- remember 2007/2008 - this guy is too radical
* Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana[29]
- this guy is too radical
* Former Governor Gary E. Johnson of New Mexico[30]
- too libertarian, too unknown, not in the spotlight anymore
* Former Governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin of Alaska[31]
- the same chances Brittney Spears has to challenge Obama
* Former Governor George Pataki of New York[32]
- He isn’t interested, not high profile enough, too old (too McCain like to challenge Obama)
* Representative Ron Paul of Texas[33]
- He can run as an independent and get 10% of the vote, that’s what he can do, but he won’t, he is a nutcase, but not such a nutcase
* Governor Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota[34]
- who again?
* Representative Mike Pence of Indiana[35]
- ok, whooooo?
* Governor Rick Perry of Texas[36]
- yes, possible candidate, but still can’t beat Obama, not high profile enough
* General David Petraeus of New York[37][38]
- the times of Eisenhover are long gone
* Former Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts[39]
- does nobody remember 2007 and 2008 anymore?
* Former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania[40]
- no, laughable suggestion
* Senator John Thune of South Dakota[41]
- not high profile enough

...Sarah Palin of Alaska - the same chances Brittney Spears has to challenge Obama

Is this your personal assessment, or did you copy and paste it from DU to get a laugh out of us today?

[johnthebaptistmoore]

You forgot Duncan Hunter, Sr., Senator Jim Demint, Alan Keyes, and Michelle Bachmann.

[Longhair_and_Leather]

And just who were Hussein and BJ Klintoon before they were nominated?

[DallasSun]

Plus the fact that Perry is a moron.

[Norman Bates]

Governor Bill Clinton
who? whooooo?

[Snow Eagle]

An interesting list.... I certainnly do NOT want another Senator/Rep running — no leadership experience, too willing to compromise their values, part of the problem. A governor would be best IMHO.

No more Bushs! No more Clintons!

I predict Hillary! is going to challenge 0bama in 2012. She just doesn’t ‘get’ that most people dislike her in the first place; she’s just as much an egotist as 0bama.

Sarah mentioned Congressman Paul Ryan (R, WI) in her speech last night; she mentions/quotes him from time to time.

I could see Palin/Ryan against 0bama/Plugs come 2012. They would mop the floor with ‘em! :)

Oh, yeah, Wikipedia, that’s the source to use. Let’s see, the NPR of encyclopedias.
Yep, boy they sum it up accurately on Palin. You betcha.

Sarcasm off.

Ypu are right, Palin could never win. Independents do not like her and view her as rather dim. Plus she isn’t a true Conservative. She still adores John McCain and supports Lindsey Graham, Charlie Crist and Joe Lieberman. I am puzzeld why all these allged Conservatives out still idolize this woman. She has alligned herself politically with the RINO base.

But I think there is someone who can win:

Jim DeMint has true Conservative track record and is fighting the Obama agenda tooth and nail. I think he’d be a fine choice. Nominating Palin would be opening the door to a huge Obama landslide in 2012

I can’t agree with all of your “characterizations” of the candidates. If you’re looking for Jesus Christ to run, forget it. There’s only been one.
