If Palin does not run, I could support Pence.
However, I’d prefer to see him run for governor.

Me too. Ok, if he runs. But Governor would be better.

He should run for Governor, get some executive experience and then run later for President.

OK by me.Me too! I also like DeMint, Bachmann, or Palin (if I have to) in 2012. If the pickins' are slim (e.g., Romney or Goober (Huck)), I will vote 3rd party Ron Paul. RNC (and obvious to everyone by now, the Bushes and their wives) needs to STFU and understand - NO 'progressive' RINOS!

I like DeMint way more than Pence in the ‘conservative politicians who aren’t going to run but still get talked about all the time for it’ category.
To: RobinMasters
My type of conservative. Too old to waste my vote on rinos.

U.S. Reps make horrible Presidential candidates. They have no record or experience of winning a statewide election, and are all too often coming from safe districts where they rarely, if ever, face a serious challenge, and therefore can afford to be more “pure” to their base.
Once they have to compete on a larger scale, the invariably crash and burn.

I'd vote for Pence in a heartbeat. He's true blue conservative and doesn't carry the baggage of other potential candidates...

She answered her question in the first sentence.
He hasnt held executive office.
But I love Mike and if he shoots for the VP slot he would have the executive experience needed when the time comes.

We each have our favorites, and each of those has a vocal opposition even amongst ourselves. I personally could support and forgive Guliani's (social issues), Romney's (prior abortion statements), Pawlenty's (global warming empathys), Huckabee (social) . Palin's my favorite but many indys question her seriousness and readiness. Santorum would be perfect, but indys support may not be strong enough to overcome a "reactionary" label. Ditto DeMint. I don't know enough yet about Thune and Daniels, other than they're both impressive.
The point here is that we collectively may not coalesce behind any of the above enough to grab the new indys and win the White House. Mike Pence has virtually zero opponents within the party. He is one that virtually all of us could fully support, imho. He hopelessly loves Palin, so his heart's in the right place.

Of all the candidates mentioned, some seriously some not so, Pence would be my choice. I do not want a RINO, period. Few on the national stage don’t fall into that hole. On the other hand, looking at electability, I’d definitely give him the nod over De Mint and Palin. Pence has the advantage of no baggage which is a big plus going into the pre primary season.

Good guy IMO. More known for social issues than economic ones. Makes a good VP fit.
