“IMO, not all that splash around have any expectations of winning the prize.”
I think so. A lot of people are running for vice president or to do well enough so that they have a better shot at 2020.
I still think the nominee will be from Bush, Santorum, Romney or Ryan.
Romney can’t run, after he was nominated he reversed himself again on abortion and went back to his lifetime pro-abortion position and came out against the GOP pro-life platform.
To reverse himself again would be pretty hard, not to mention that he is still calling for homosexual scout leaders, something that he has pushed for 20 years, and again, after winning the nomination, made clear he still supported.
