Agree? Disagree?

[Nonstatist]

Last week in this column, I put forth an explanation as to why Newt Gingrich is a stronger political force than many imagine

Across the board full of $hit.

[goodnesswins]

'To my mind, the Republican field of potential candidates is at least as strong as it was in 2008."

Well....THAT kind of says it all.....

[Rembrandt]

I agree we have a deep bench; what I’m afraid we may lack is an MVP.

[ntnychik]

Newt? Nope, but I’d attend one of his history lectures.
Mittney? Who is he this year?
Pawlenty? Couldn’t keep Franken from stealing the election.
Jindal? Louisiana really needs him. Can he pass the natural born citizen test?
Barbour? Good Gov., good politician, good insider. Oh wait.
Trump? Helped elect 0bama, but then, so did John McCain.
Hucksterbee? I doubt he could win Iowa again.
Palin: Has the right spirit and good background. She needs to show command of the issues of the day. Give us some details on those “commensense solutions”. (She has my vote). Will out-Bush Pres. Bush as target of media venom.

Whomever is the GOP nominee, breaking ranks or sitting home to make a point will re-elect 0 and his regime. If he gets a second term,you ain’t seen nothing yet.

IMHO, at the present time, either Sarah Palin/Herman Cain, or Sarah Palin/Allen West would be my idea of the best ‘12 GOP Presidential ticket. This could change over time, especially if Sarah Palin, officially, decides not to run for ‘12 POTUS.

Deep bench, no starters.

[9YearLurker]

What field possibly could be weaker than 2008?

[Gator113]

Sarah Palin all the way....

[qam1]

Disagree

We are going to need a fresh face, no more 2008 retreads (and yes that includes you-know-who) or even 1994 retreads like Newt.

So far Herman Cain has impressed so far but we could always use more.

[NVDave]

If they wired five of those idiots together, they couldn’t produce a coherent national economic policy.

“Deep bench.” Yea, right.

[Walts Ice Pick]

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

[napscoordinator]

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.

[RoadTest]

We have a good raw, unedited list. Not all are running and not all are recommendable, but it’s still quite a list. A few are real Conservatives.
