“Now McDonnell and Paul Ryan or McDonnell and Susanna Martinez? Now you’re cooking with gas.”
Good ideas on paper, but you’re missing a few points. Problem is that Paul Ryan isn’t interested, I think he may want to be Speaker of the House. Also, his ideas were successfully smeared, which was completely unfair but a reality. Susana Martinez has immense potential, but it’s too soon to reach any conclusion one way or ther other. The same would apply to Marco Rubio. Let’s give them time to establish records.
Bob McDonnell is a solid choice, his support of Mittens being his only liability. Sucessful conservative Governor of a swing state who has taken on the opposing party and remained popular. He would pretty much take Virginia off the table for Obama.
Chris Christie is a mixed bag. He has some celebrity going for him and he has some positive accomplishments as Governor. He’s still new at this job and he has liabilities (could be better on political correctness like border security and the Islamic threat). There are also questions about his health. He would put New Jersey on the table, but probably couldn’t deliver it. Perhaps now is not the right time for him.
The Establishment types seem to want Jeb Bush to be the nominee. I say no, no, no, no, a thousand times no! We were never meant to have royal families in the U.S. The last two President Bushs left office unpopular and are remembered as dissapointments. Is there any reason to believe that Jeb Bush would be any different?
Right now it’s a game of wait and see.

McDonnell also supports Lt. Governor Bill Bolling over Attorney General Ken Cucinelli for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in 2013. Bolling is Romney’s state chairman and apparently a bland and boring and uncreative establishment Republican. Cuccinelli may well be the single best Republican high office holder anywhere in America. McDonnell should know better.

You see, McCain was not old enough nor mature enough to have been the candidate in 2008. That's why we go with Dole in the top slot. Get it?
We raise $500 Million and another $500 Million from George Soros, give all the money to Karl Rove who comes up with a humdinger of a campaign that should get us a good, O, 25-30% maybe of the popular vote in all the states.
Then we get what the RNC GOP Establishment really wants. 4 more years of The Mombasa MF upon whom to blame America's final, quite possibly terminal, Depression. Meanwhile, The GOP might take the Senate and Keep the House whereby the GOP can best service its real constituency as opposed to those pesky voters and "Conservatives."
