Mitt is a serious contender, but will not win.
Huck is a joke and will not run.
John who?
Rick Perry will join the race and have a shot.
Palin will be the one to beat, but I wouldn't be surprised if she joined a Perry ticket (they are friends)
I think Perry will be the Palin-sanctioned candidate for POTUS.
You mean Perry join a Palin ticket, don't you?
There is no reason for Bristol to be in the finals, by the judge's scores, so it is the people calling in and voting en masse that saves her every time.
Only if you're a faux conservative and enjoy seeing two faced scumbags run around pushing an agenda of political expediency.
What about Mitch Daniels?

I think you’re right. Perry has been positioning for this for a long time. 2012 is the most likely reason he ran for this term as Gov of Texas. He needs the springboard of being some sort of incumbent to be taken seriously for the run. He’s got enough experience as an officeholder to be a frontrunner on that basis alone. He’s seen as conservative by most of the nation, even if he doesn’t quite qualify by FR or Texas standards. The fact that he’s seen by the hardline right as somewhat “squishy” may actually be a positive for him with indies and non-FReepers. He’d definitely have the NRA and gunny support, and if he handles the current Texas budget problems at all well, he can get the support of the fiscal conservative and National Review traditional Right. Texas’ relatively good economic times vis-a-vis the rest of the country would definitely help also.
Perry/Palin.. governors of the 2 largest states in the Union has some attraction to it. And the 2 largest energy (oil and NG) states.
They’d have some problems to overcome with the more “paleo” right, but that could be spun fairly easily.
I also thing Perry has a decent chance of beating Obama, probably more than Palin does, unless there’s some more dirt on him than I’ve seen so far.
