Republicans Uncertain Over Who Should Challenge Obama in 2012
A new poll shows Republican voters are deeply divided over who they want to carry the party mantle in the 2012 presidential race. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin leads the pack, a couple other names are close behind and a whopping 42 percent of Republicans are listed as undecided.
Republicans may be seeing the start of a political surge, but GOP voters still don't know who they want to lead it.
A new poll shows Republican voters are deeply divided over who they want to carry the party mantle in the 2012 presidential race. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin leads the pack, a couple other names are close behind and a whopping 42 percent of Republicans are listed as undecided.
The numbers suggest the 2012 presidential primary is any Republicans' game. Republicans are expecting to pick up a lot of seats in the congressional midterm elections, buoyed by success in the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial elections last year, and the Massachusetts Senate election last month. But while President Obama's approval ratings have dropped significantly since he took office, it's unclear who would be up to the task of challenging him.

Well sheesh, it’s not like we don’t have three years or so to figure it out.
BTW, DeMint in 2012!
I think a more likely question is, will Obama himself be running in 2012?
This is stupid ... should Republicans be certain this far in advance?

We’ll be OK as long as we develop a certainty over who should NOT represent the GOP
That is why we have elections with vigorous debate of ideas...
Yea, I vote DeMint. We need a grownup with principles.
I’m sure Republicans can agree on one thing, WE DO NOT WANT OBAMA OR ANY OTHER PROGRESSIVE!
Yup, he may want to move on to Highmaster of the Universe.
Demint/Pence 2012
Do you really have to run if you have made yourself dictator for life?
I like DeMint too.
Okay, I’ll help. It’s not me.
Next?
dittos- I’m with the cracker ticket
DeMint/McDonnell
May the Lord save us from affirmative action selectees
Not McCain that’s for sure. His presidential hopes went down in flames and he should not rise up again.
That’s a sweet combo!
I don’t know yet who the nominee should be, but I monimate Paul Ryan of Wisconsin for VP. I saw him on Kudlow last night and was quite impressed. So far, I like DeMint because he’s the only Senator who has truly been in the forefront fighting on behalf of us. I was also impressed yesterday with Judd Greg. Anyone who dares challenge and call out zero and the administration will get my consideration. No more wimps.
Why not simply have six regional Republican candidates who will rack up a majority of the electoral votes and let the by then majority House of Representatives pick the next president?
