Right now, I'm not thrilled with anyone.
What is your opinion of Duncan Hunter (either one)?
How about Guv Palin on the top of the ticket, Duncan D as the VP...
His father as Secretary of Defense.
Donald Trump as US Trade Representative. :)
I got news for you, pal. You never will be.
And that is EXACTLY how we got Juan back in `08.
MSM targeted each one of the "pretty good" republicans and promoted the rants by followers of each attack till the candidate was out.
As soon as the rhetoric was established in the MSM against the good candidates, George Stephanopoulos showed up chanting over and over how "great" juan is doing. Plenty of face time on the MSM and lots of publicity.
Presto, little juan is the nominee.
Presto, little bammy is the President.
This will be attempted again so folks had best look over the field and pick the best overall candidate from who is there now. The Calvary is NOT going to come charging over the hill at the last minute. Most of the names in your short list are worse than juan. RINOs and PRICs mostly. The ones that you say I forget who else are no go for that very reason. No name retention. You cant even recall who they are. So do not expect anything there.
The communists are hammering on Sarah day and night for a reason. It is believed by the communists that she will not give a tinkers damn about their attacks, race cards, lies, incoherent smears, etc. In their eyes she is Doom and Apocalypse.
That is a good thing as it brings out the true nature of the communist liberal progressive democrat. You know, foul language, obvious lies, ridiculous childish accusations, racist accusations, physical attacks, etc.
Just the ticket for a clear headed decision by a normal American voter come November, 2012.
