Republican Governors and a Few others . . . Pick Your Top Five
November 7, 2013 | MrChips

OK, if you play along nicely, I'll tabulate the results later. So let's assume for the sake of argument that the next electable Republican president will come from the ranks of governors or from a handful of Senators or from an ex-office-holders like Jim DeMint or Mitch Daniels or Jeb Bush or Rick Santorum. PICK YOUR TOP FIVE (electability has to be your first consideration):

How about: (1) Daniels, for temperament (2) Cruz, for intellectual honesty and courage (3) Thune, for looks, intelligence, and conservative voting record (4)Martinez, the Republican answer to Hillary (5) Jindal, for ideas and the courage to implement them

I like your first four. Not sure Perry can handle the national stage.

Sessions
Vitter
Inhofe

Most the governors seem to be pushing amnesty. Jindal wants open slather as soon as someone declares the border secure.

Governor Mike Pence of Indiana shouldn’t be ignored, either. It’s his views on amnesty for illegal immigrants that are his biggest weakness, IMHO.

Is Palin electable?

You shouldn't be conducting this survey if you have to ask that question.
