Personally whatever I have to volunteer will be devoted to getting Texan Michael Williams into Kay Bailey's Senate seat:

Palin.
Failing that, anyone but Huckabee.
Still like Rudy. Think he could get more done than any of the others out there as of now. He is not afraid to pick a fight with the rats on many issues. And he can win. He can beat Obama in NY and NJ.
Would take him over Romney, Palin or Huck. Romney is just as liberal, but not tough enough to take on the rats. Palin cannot win. Huck doesn’t like to fight.
I hope we can find someone else to come along, but I see no one who gets me real excited.
Neither of them stand a snowball’s chance in hell of being elected in 2012.
Palin has been too badly vilified by the left for the left to vote for her, and we do need the left’s vote.
Romney is chameleon. He’ll not rate high among Conservatives, or even most Republicans, and certainly not the left.
A sleeper will emerge. Blackburn might be on the ticket, but not as the POTUS candidate. There are some good Governors, but the left has become successful in tearing them apart, as well.
It’s going to have to be someone in the shadows, probably from the House, who is fairly unscathed, and able to build a broad, positive National image, and frame the campaign on healing and progressing us. And they’ll have to do it in way that appeals to both parties.
But, the real question is not who, but which.
Big money, or big issues?
Will we “come out” as a “social democracy or Republic”? Or, will we re-commit to our true American principles?
Personally, I think taking Congress back is much, much, more important, and that’s where we should put our eggs right now.
definitely......PALIN

Right now of all the names in the hat, I like Palin, because of her experience, ideas and attitude. I know we like her, but there will be a real firefight if she gets the nod.
NO MORE SENATORS (they don’t have enough executive experience). I prefer a governor over a senator in general because of that. And after the mess the Dims are leaving us, we will need a good executive who knows how to lead.
Never McCain, Never Romney, never Newt.
Don’t know if Jindal has the charisma.
I’ve been sorting through the Representatives that were successful in business prior to becoming a CongressCritter, Christian, and have consistently stood up for Conservatism and, hopefully, has some Military experience.
Successful in running a business would be good criteria, too...They need to know how to do more than legislate, make decisions, run their office, ride herd over their workers, and be successful. Lawyer/legislators are often weak on that side of things, even if their viewpoints are right.
It all depends on who is left standing by 2012. I want to think about 2010 elections right now...
Palin or Romney
So true.
General Petraus.
“Still like Rudy”
Epic fail. He was the frontrunner and couldn’t hold on.
He isn’t and won’t run.
Steve King was a businessman but not in the military. He’d be my pick if I could appoint someone.
Rudy was *very* poorly organized last time out. He was on the ballot in Tennessee, but at least in my part of the state, he hardly had any delegates running committed to him.
Fred Thompson had a full slate committed, and he had already dropped out.
Today..............
Palin.
Tomorrow...........
