Cruz is far and away my first choice. Carson or Palin next choices.

Cruz must run. I want to see him debate, and to really dissect his intentions.

No. Voters like voting for governors, so I think Walker wins the nomination hands down. 2008 was an unusual year in which two senators ran, but I don't think a senator ascended to the presidency in a long long time before 2008.

Scott Walker has a stellar record of accomplishments to run on, while Cruz has mere words. However, having written that, Cruz has my emotional vote - I love him - but I think Walker is a more practical choice.

I also think Carson is fantastic and would not hesitate to support him, but the fact that he is not a politician and has never held office will give people pause, but not me - we need someone like that.

Palin is DOA. She has been destroyed by the media and she can't recapture what she had...she is not going to run since she can't raise any money.

My fear is that Walker, Cruz, Carson, etc. split the conservative vote which allows Romney/Bush, etc to squeeze by.
