We REALLY Do Not Know (who will be the GOP nominee, could be someone not in the race yet)
Weekly standard ^ | Bill kristol

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that we do not know who the GOP presidential nominee will be:

It could be Mitt Romney—though our warnings in this space a couple of weeks ago that his victory is by no means inevitable seem increasingly justified by the dynamics of the race.

The nominee could be Newt Gingrich—whose rise in the polls has been spectacular, and whose skills and appeal are still widely underestimated by many elites, including conservative elites

It could be someone not yet in the race. If the Gingrich surge turns into a Newt bubble, and if there continue s to be the present level of resistance to Romney, then anyone from Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin to Paul Ryan, Chris Christie, Mitch Daniels, Marco Rubio, or Jeb Bush—or someone else!

Let me repeat, with emphasis: We REALLY do not know who the GOP nominee will be.

Didn’t know that James Warren DeMint and I had the same middle name. Now, I’m convinced he is the best person for the job. LOL!

I have seen some things I like from him, but I haven’t studied him much yet. I might be able too also. I’m just not sure yet.

“Palin is not getting into the race, please move on.”

I sure wish she would! But it does seem to not be in the cards.

could be someone not in the race yet.

This is highly unlikely given the fact that the deadline to get on the ballot has already passed (or will pass within a week) to get on the primary ballot in the following states: LA, MI, MO, NH, OH, OK, SC, TN, TX, and VA.
