All good points. With the debacle that is the Obama administration, do you really think we’ll see another black president in our lifetime?

I disagree strongly. Palin is the only one listed with a chance. She deserves a shot in 2012.

Don't know, Unfortunately like any other election it would depend on the mushy middle.

Despite how the left paints us, Conservatives are color blind and as long as the candidate can unite the fiscal and social factions of the party we would all be behind him/her regardless of color.

Liberals no matter what would paint that candidate as an Uncle Tom and not vote for him/her anyhow.

That leaves the middle, which who knows, maybe by then American Idol and Celebrity Dance Stars may be canceled and then who knows what they will remember /forget about the Obama administration.

Oh, I think Storage Wars, Kardashians, Celebrity Apprentice and some other shows will take up the slack.

Wonderful graphic! I love it!

However, I think that this time, they had better not give us another McCain.

“Whomever is the GOP nominee, breaking ranks or sitting home will re-elect 0”

The TEA Party held ranks with the Republicans last time, giving them one more chance. If they give us another McCain, there will be a third party challenge.

That argument won’t hold water this time.

We are going to take the Senate in ‘12, it’s just a matter of who the presidential nominee will be.

I hope that he...or she...;o)...will be another Walker.

BTW, I would love to see Walker as Veep.

This past week, I’ve seen or read plenty of news analyses suggesting that the Republicans have a weak field of presidential hopefuls for 2012.

No truer statement has ever been made. Only Sarah is not weak. Michelle is not weak either. But other than that......WEAK!!!!!! Almost embarrassing.

Well, in Cain’s case, it’s not for lack of trying. He’s a good man, but I don’t think running someone who couldn’t even win a primary in his own state a good candidate against 0bama. Presidency is not a place to gain experience for public service.

I like him but he is a one term House member. Can he at least run for Senate or be part of the House for a while. However his military background is great. I have no problem calling him and will in fact, but I don’t think he will run......YET.
