I will vote for Michele Bachmann.
But we are going to get Romney because it is his turn and the others will be destroyed by the media.
Replay of 2008.
The Dems can put up a guy like Clinton because the left doesn’t care if they have “issues”.
Our side? We bail. LOL

I agree. As soon as I started to read the other article (I saw the second before this one, but this had more comments, so I’ll comment here), I had the realization, that the GOP nominee will be Romney, with, I strongly believe, Bachmann as the VP candidate. Here’s why:
“Margin of error Perry” is entirely dispopular with the vast majority of the country, and the vast majority of Republicans, and dead in the water with both independents and democrats, he’ll never be run. Cain will probably throw his support behind Romney (maybe not, but I think so), effectively handing the GOP nomination to him. Romney, like McCain picking Palin, will probably pick up Bachmann, to try and shore up the conservative vote. I do not think we will ever again see “two white men” on the same ticket for many years, possibly ever. Now that we have had an election with a “minority” on both tickets, I think there will always be one on both sides. This means that Romney will either pick a woman, or a racial minority, evidence points to picking a woman, to trump the race card with the sex card, as McCain did.
As for the presidential race, I think Paul will go third party, and I have no idea who will win. At this point, I suspect Obama, due to voter fraud, but I suppose I have anoth year to take more into perspective at that point.
“The Dems can put up a guy like Clinton because the left doesn’t care if they have ‘issues’.”
Try explaining that to John Edwards.
Are you kidding? This goes way back before 2008. In '76 it was Reagan's turn (after running twice before). In 88 it was Bush's turn. In '96 it was Dole's turn. In 2000, it was Bush's turn. In 2008, it was McCain's turn.
Republicans apparently stand in line and don't jump the border hoping for a free ride. ;-)
