Looks like Sarah vs. Mitt duel to the finish right now.

It also provides for the possible entry of someone we're not looking at right now (Newt Gingrich?)

Newt had his own Willie Horton moment last month in upstate New York when he backed the Liberal Republican over the Conservative candidate.

Stick a fork in him.....he's done.

Newt? I plugged my nose to vote for McCain in 2008 - I WILL NOT make a similar mistake in 2012!! If the GOP is dumb enough to listen to the NY Times again (McCain is the strongest candidate the Rs have....etc) then they will deserve to lose yet again!

I love Sarah Palin but I am not sure that she can overcome the mistakes of last year’s campaign and the relentless pressure the MSM would put on her. I never liked Huckabee and I don’t trust pretty boy Romney. I have looked a bit at Jim DeMint and Mitch Daniels as possible contenders and wonder what other FReepers think about them....

the way a previous GOP presidential contender once used the name "Willie Horton,...

Actually, the first one to shout "Willie Horton" way back then was the CRUminal Algore. After that they were just copy cats.

Newt may be a little long in the tooth for a national camapign at this point...

Anyone who really thinks that Sarah Palin will not be one of the top 2 in Iowa in January 2012 has either gone Rip Van Winkle over the past 15 months or is totally delusional.

How I wish more states had caucuses. Palin would waltz to the nomination. With primaries, a tsunami of Dem crossovers could get us another McCain. Or even McCain.

Neither Romney nor Sarah will run for president in 2012. You heard it here first.

I think in the next year or so there will be a Reagan moment. where voters look at Palin and decide that she is ready for the presidentcy in the GOP voters. I think it will be in the debates. But it could be during a very big national problem. Palin has set herself to be the voice of the GOP. If an oppurtunity presents itself she needs only to show leadership skills during that time of a command of issues next to Mitt. the liberal media with theri “she is stupid meme “ has handed her the nomination on a silver platter. when she debates Mitt and shows not only is she not stupid but she has a command of issues Mitt could neve rhave.

Clemmons is dead. The allegaters can be put back in the swamp. He was the killer. No need at all to allege him unless one is preparing to indict the officer who shot him.

I would love DeMint but he is not hustling for it. I want him to make a lot of noise now with policy statements and critiques of Hussein policies and lots of travel. Palin is be adept at running an honest campaign and knows all the right moves and is coalescing the party right now. My only caveat is her treatment by MSM but at this point MSM is going to grind up any Republican that evinces a possibility of beating the Kenyan in 2012. Palin does bring out the inherent misogyny of the Left, though. The most frantic attacks are directly related to the fact that she is a woman. She is a "lightweight" because she is a woman.She is a "lightweight" because she doesn't scare children. And, of course, she is a "lightweight" because she is from Alaska.

Funny that....considering that she is supposed to be some kind of mega-dunce.

DeMint, Jindal, or Thune could pop up...

DeMint is a class act. I like John Thune also - a SLIGHT possible RINO tendency, but the guy beat Dasshole, so that’s something there.

After the article implied that Iowans vote their Christian values how on earth could they vote for Gingrich? He has been married 3 or 4 times besides the fact that he is now emerging as a RINO.
