Here are mine:
1) Herman Cain
2) Sarah Palin
3) Rick Perry
4) Michele Bachmann
6-56) not sure
57) Newt Gingrich
Here are mine.
1. Perry/Palin *
2. Cain
3. Gingrich
4. Bachmann
* If Palin declares, I’ll decide between the two based on their performance as candidates. I will contribute to both campaigns and let the best one win my vote.
Cain’s inexperience in political office is a non-issue for me because he will surround himself with solid conservatives and seek their wisdom in areas where he needs their experience. He is not a narcissist like Zero, so that prevents a scenario where he is unwilling/unable to listen to his advisors.
Gingrich’s personal baggage is not quite a non-issue for me but close to it. His positions on conservative issues and ability to discern the core problem/solution is enough. Like Perry on HPV, Newt made a mistake on global warming, but I can forgive it and move forward. Newt has the intellectual skills of Reagan.
Bachmann’s inexperience is an issue for me, but I can get past it enough to vote for her. She too will surround herself with solid conservative advisors and will listen. Her biggest problem will be leaping before seeking wisdom. I think her advisors will have to be proactive rather than reactive in order to prevent missteps.
