Addressing business leaders in Louisiana last week, national political pollster Scott Rasmussen said that the GOP’s 2012 nominee will not go to a big-name candidate (i.e. Romney, Palin or Gingrich?), but likely someone lesser known, who has experience on the national stage, the News Star reports.
Rasmussen addressed the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry at their annual meeting last Wednesday, weighing in on the political climate and condemning Washington partisanship saying “Both parties have worked together for decades to alienate the people.”
Any dark horses out there?

Pence and Bachmann both sound like they are running for Prez. DeMint’s adviser said a couple weeks back that everything is still on the table. And Cain almost certainly is running.
If we get two out of the 4 I’ll be satisfied. I hope Bolton runs too, if for nothing else to teach the rest of the field about US sovereignty.
After four years of Obummer, voters will be in no mood for someone without a lot of executive experience. That gives Herman Cain the edge.
Congressman Steve King of Iowa is ready to throw his hat in the ring with a little encouragement. He’s the type of leader that would have our enemies quaking in their boots.
Well if we knew or had hopes of one, would we tell it so Obamamedia/Journolista’s can start the attacks early????
Voters will be in no mood for liberalism. That should give any of the 4 the edge not only over Obama, but the rest of the GOP wannabees.
The reality also is that within 5 minutes of assuming a national presence, any Republican will have too much baggage, manufactured by the MSM and force fed the public 24/7.
He means Jeb Bush. I don’t want any more Bushies. They have proven they are better than Obama—but we need real conservatives now. RINOS are not what we need in this crisis.
I was pimping for King earlier in the year, but he hasn’t made any noises about it. I’d be quite happy if he goes for it. No one currently holding office in DC or the guv’s mansions is as conservative as King.
Cain’s a dark horse to 3/4 of the electorate.
Jeb would NOT be a dark horse. He’d be hailed as the instant frontrunner. And no, I don’t want him either. He’s a flippin amnesty queen, like most of the others.
The 'frontrunners' all stink
Not all of them... Sarah Palin, for instance.
I like the idea of a governor.
Would he have to surrender his House seat? I don’t think he would, as IA has a September (?) primary.
Bachmann is the only one of those that could win.
Must suck having to hope that no conservatives run. What a miserable existence.
Jebbie, Myth, and Huckabee are truly triplets of the left. It would be hard to vote for any of them as the nominee. Maybe Constitution Party then, which is the same as voting for Obama.
TO me she does. She ain’t nearly as conservative as the ones I mentioned.
We’ll see.
You’d prefer another four years of 0bama?
