Who is your initial preferred pick for the GOP President Candidate Selection Votes Haley Barbour 4% 343 John Bolton 4% 306 Jeb Bush 3% 230 Herman Cain 8% 647 Mitch Daniels 8% 615 Mike Huckabee 5% 378 Sarah Palin 31% 2,401 Tim Pawlenty 5% 374 Mike Pence 14% 1,061 Rick Perry 3% 253 David Petraeus 3% 197 Mitt Romney 9% 652 John Thune 2% 178 7,635 votes total
Who are these 700 odd delta bravos who still think Mitt’s the $hit ?
Thune, Romney, Bush, and Huckabee can be fundraisers..They aren’t good for anything higher than that. Pawlenty is a question mark to me.
Of the other eight - three look like they belong on the short list for Pres/VP (Palin, Pence, and Daniels - in that order), and those who don’t make the cut would make first rate cabinet secretaries.
Petraeus for SecDef, Bolton for SecState, Perry for SecTrans., Cain or Barbour for Commerce (pick one - the other goes for SecAgr.)
I know it would leave a few of the posts unfilled - that’s okay -put DeMint and Coburn somewhere, and just abolish the remainder of the departments (like education, labor, interior...) by defunding or not filling those slots
Just my scattered thoughts...
