My List-
Romney - No way in hell.
Newt- Seems more of a moderate big government type these days and has huge character issues ...his “immigration reform” plan is not realistic and will lead to amnesty after court challenge OR a permanent underclass of non-citizens similar to those in Europe (see Paris riots, etc) Newt is smart enough to know that; therefore, he is being disingenuous.
Huntsman - Pffft
Perry - Just got Arpaio’s endorsement; so, worth a re-look; don't like the “educate illegals as in-state residents;” but, it's Texas and they have a different culture than most of us non-border states; plus the Feds have mucked things up and left Texans holding the bag; so, will consider that as mitigating circumstances to some extent.
Bachmann - Good on paper ...seems an opportunist in her attacks on other Conservative candidates (never goes after Romney) and I worry how serious she would be about 9-9-9 or similar tax reforms since she is a tax lawyer and that is tied to the family business. Still, will consider her.
Paul - We agree on many domestic issues ...we're worlds apart on foreign policy.
Santorum - Again, good on paper; but, has a “likability factor” problem and lost his last Senate race ...still, will consider him
Sheriff Paul likes Romney.
I like both Sheriffs, but I sure as hell ain't gonna vote for either Romney or Perry because they like the.
