The political axiom is familiar today. Republicans nominate the next in line. So it's been from Richard Nixon to John McCain.
The next presidential cycle could prove otherwise. The GOP establishment no longer rides herd over today's elephants. Conservative activists are both exceptionally galvanized and autonomous. It's a unique mix unseen in decades. And critically, the establishment's early favorite has an Achilles heel.
This conservative milieu begs the question: is 2012 the year of the Republican dark horse?
Mitt Romney should be the next Republican nominee. No less than 81 percent of Republican "insiders" say that Romney is the "most likely" to challenge Barack Obama in 2012, according to a January National Journal poll...
--snip--
But when the CBS/New York Times poll asked them what living U.S. political figure they most admire, half of the Tea Party supporters declined to select any of the prominent Republicans listed. Only 5 percent said Romney. Newt Gingrich led the list at 10 percent. This is a conservative grassroots movement with little reverence for the Republican establishment.
--snip--
Goldwater's supporters began as early as 1961 to win precincts and win over conservative activists. The Tea Party is following a similar trail. But they work for a stricter conservative establishment, not a singular conservative challenging the moderate establishment. A Republican dark horse will likely only emerge if he or she can become that singular conservative.

Ryan is the only one who has a chance. Although they’ll try, the dims know deep down that they can’t play the stupid card on him after he schooled 0bama in the healthcare show trial. Young and telegenic, he already has more experience holding federal office than 0bama, so the “experience” card won’t work either. He’s not a Southerner so they can’t pin him as a “neo-Confederate.”
The only downside is running out of the House. But, since 0bama’s win the rules for who can run and win have changed.

What's her jobs plan? I can't tell the content difference between Palin and Tina Fey.
“What’s her jobs plan? I can’t tell the content difference between Palin and Tina Fey.”

I didn’t know that Fey supported deep tax cuts!

Never turn your back on Romney or these guys. No one thought McCain would be the Republican candidate.
But Rockefeller was the frontrunner till May of '63, when he married Happy a month after her divorce, and a year after his, losing him a lot of social conservatives and women voters.
Ryan is the one that has the least chance of all.
An inexperience twerp that has been coached on what to say.

Nah. Tax rates didn't cause our unemployment. Bipartisan exporting jobs for third world labor costs did.
Arizona’s Jan Brewer?! Don’t let the signing of the immigration bill fool you, she did that under duress. She’s a tax and spend liberal who wouldn’t sign the budget unless it had the possibility of a 1 cent sales tax increase (she wanted the tax increase in the budget, the state legislature agreed to make it a proposition), and now in order to get us to pass her precious tax increase she’s threatening to destroy the education budget (already one of the lowest per student in the country) if it doesn’t get passed. I’m not going to vote for her for governor, president is right the hell out.
“Nah. Tax rates didn’t cause our unemployment. Bipartisan exporting jobs for third world labor costs did.”
Nice rant, but far from factual. Small business, our biggest employer by more than five to one, didn’t export one single job; they just laid off enough employees to pay their anticipated tax bill after hearing Pelosi and Ried calling for tax hikes in early 2007.
You do remember 2007? - The year that we reached our highest employment level ever?

She's also endorsed McCain.
I didn't know that Brewer endorsed McCain. No one is perfect.
Brewer also recently signed into law a concealed carry right, joining Vermont and Alaska with no need for permits. That would make the left go nuts. Obama is on record numerous times saying that he would favor repealing concealed carry permits.
Lord, I hope not. Goldwater won the GOP nomination in 1964, but scared voters in the general election and swept huge majorities of rats into the House, Senate and Whitehouse
“Can Someone Pull a Goldwater?”
Let’s hope not!!
“Goldwater won the GOP nomination in 1964, but scared voters in the general election and swept huge majorities of rats into the House, Senate and Whitehouse”
.
Goldwater didn’t scare anyone; the Media did the job in the usual fashion. They allowed LBJ to lie, and forbid goldwater from telling the whole truth.
Sound familiar?
.
Nah. Business lays off because they not making sales and they are not making sales because too many of their customers are broke. Many products sold by small business are made by workers in other countries.
He's was just referring to the primary, not the general election.
Very good reply. Jan will not win re-election, much less Pres. (Dean Martin is the best AZ gov. candidate.)
How about Michele Bachmann? I don’t know much about her, but everything I hear from her via the Tea Parties has been very good.
Remember she was never actually elected. She got “promoted” from Sec State when Obama grabbed nappie from us.
Don’t know much about Bachmann at this point.
You’re obviously not in business!
You’re like a hobo wandering into an opera.
