Mike and Mitt and we land in the $#*+!!
I don’t like Huckabee or Mitt either.
We NEED someone that hasn’t yet seen be mentioned.
I have NO IDEA who that is at this point.....
All of the people that are ‘getting the talk’ right now, CAN’T WIN. Perhaps, that’s by design.
I’m not too familiar with Portman, but what I know I like. I don’t think he’ll be positioned to go for it in 2012 though.
Huckabee , Palin or Romney = a Demorat win whether it be Oboomba or Hitlery .
I have taken the pledge, I will not vote for a RINO, and especially not Mittens. I flat out refuse to let the left pick our candidate. If we pick, win or lose, we win in the end.
What you say is probably true, but the die has been cast on Palin. She does not have Reagan’s ability to make the people see past the lies of the Left and their media allies.
The problem with Ryan is his predilection to confront the social security issue. The GOP has tried to do that dozens of times, and it’s always turned out bad. Couple that with the fact that there is really no way to fix social security anyway at this late date, and you should come to the conclusion that there is nothing the GOP can do about it. What it needs to do is simply press the Dems to fix it. Afterall, they broke it. Ryan needs to drop the issue. It’s just going to get Obama re-elected in 2012, and maybe put the Dems back in control of the House.
Please not Huckabee. He’s leftwing on immigration just like Bush and suffers from a bad case of White Guilt.

He also has the cop killer parole to answer for, and a very icky issue with regard to his oldest son, who is disturbed and disturbing.
I don’t for a second believe the levels of support touted for Huckabee.
But she’s a great fundraiser!
As things stand now, I think Palin and Huckabee would split the red states (especially the South), and Romney would win most of the blue states.
I am big on focusing on electability. It is my opinion that we blundered this cycle by nominating some really poor candidates (like O'Donnell).
On the other hand, I am not so sure Palin couldn't win states like PA and Florida. Right now? No, she couldn't. 2 years from now however, things might change quite a bit. What about say a Palin/Rubio ticket? That could change the dynamics quite a lot.
While I don't care for a few of the choices Palin made when it came to endorsements this time around, I think she has the spark, the charisma, the energy to excite the base and the common sense likability to make inroads with independents and blue collar Democrats. She's divisive now because that is her role, but as a smart Presidential candidate she could have more cross over appeal than many believe.
Perhaps I am just biased because I am such a big fan of hers. Many other very smart people tell me she'd be a terrible candidate, but I can't help thinking otherwise.
I meant the general. She’d lose in a landslide.
Same here; they’re very “yesterday”. They may be of some help in local races, but I think they’re done on the national scene.
We’ll find a squeaky-clean candidate, with no skeletons in their closet. Really, though, the way things are going now, that Carl Palladino from NY will beat Obama in 2012.
Journolist nonsense.
yeah because Paladino did soooo well during a time of ridiculous unemployment and mosques next to WTC
What you say is probably true, but the die has been cast on Palin.

The same die will be cast by the same people against any conservative candidate. It is the same thing they did with Bush #2 and with Reagan.
“Huckabee , Palin or Romney = a Demorat win whether it be Oboomba or Hitlery .”
Well Palin is better. I like her even though she backed MCCain. She has become a better speaker and more knowledgeable so she sounds even better.
My problem with Palin is women suck at voting for other women. Idiot male but even more female voters did not vote for some very good women running against really HORRIBLE men and horrible women.
McDonnell - who I liked, Angle (stolen), Whitman (she was okay).
A lot of women will not vote for Palin because she is pretty too.
If Christie were more conservative - I would vote for him. DeMint, Pence, maybe Thune.
I would love to watch Christie destroy the muslim or hillary in a debate.
