Dr. Common Sense is for gun control. I've been telling people not to get too excited about him. He might make a good Secretary of something, but Prez, not a chance. Same with Christie. If you think another NE liberal has a chance in the fly over country,......I got some beach front to sell you. The Romney folks still don't get it yet I think. It will be asking a lot to get a nominee that hasn't been a Governor or at least another Senator. That was Cain's problem, he had never even been a Mayor.

Out of the bunch we have showing up right now, I like Newt or Cruz. Newt would be a tough sell after 2 attempts, but Cruz might pull it off if he wanted it, IMO. Rand has his dad's problem in foreign affairs and I think Rubio will come off as another establishment Repub. Cruz is the real deal, but I don't know if he wants it, or would be accepted after just a couple of years as Senator. We have one of those right now. If Cruz runs, he could/would run Sarah as VP. The shitstorm Sarah has following her, IMO, would be just too great to overcome. Most people don't see her as we do. I love her but I don't think she could overcome the smears already against her.

There is another scenario I think might come. If the Tea Party doesn't get some love soon from the Repubs, we may have a 3rd party. I don't think conservatives are going to take being kicked to the curb much longer. The problem with the Tea Party is they are stuck on just tax cuts. The Christians are looking for a home with abortion and gay marriage. Law and order people are looking for border control and NO gun control. People like McCain and Preibus, are selling us down the river thinking we have no where to go. If the Tea Party gloms on to Rand Paul, they will be neutralized. The list gets smaller and smaller other than Cruz or Palin. I like Newt cause he's the real deal, but people don't seem to like him either. I'm sick of looking for a guy to have a beer with as president. Newt has Founding Father type qualities and has governed( successfully) before. I give him full credit for balancing the budget before. He forced Clinton into balance and the bent one got the credit. I also like his ideas about stopping payment to certain judges.

I don't know anybody perfect, but Cruz or Newt would be my choices right now. The Repubs seem to be forcing Rubio or Rand on us and I think that will peter out before 2016. I don't think Newt will try again, but Cruz just might. Palin will have 2 more books by then. I don't think she will even try.
