though i agree with you about Palin i disagree with the whole Huck/Romney preference. i am of the opinion that Romney is slightly better than Huck mainly because of the whole pardon fiasco. that will get him hammered in a general heck the WIllie Horton ads are already out there Dems just have to change some names around and viola Huck is toast. Romney is damaged with his health care crap so like you i am looking for someone who as you but it “Reagan was to Carter”. i am not sure who that would be yet but so far i like John Thune and Mitch Daniels although right now my favorite current Gov is CHris Christie down in NJ. He is giving the Teachers union the finger and really standing up for fiscally conservative issues. i really dont know how socially conservative he is but i do like his tenure as gov so far down there.
