Dick Armey suggests DeMint for 2012
Daily Caller ^ | 9/10/10 | ALex Pappas

Posted on 09/10/2010 10:45:36 PM PDT by pissant

South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint is on former House majority leader Dick Armey’s list of Republicans he could support for president in 2012.

Asked during a panel discussion Friday night on the Tea Party movement to name several leaders he would like to see challenge President Obama, he also listed Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

“There’s no shortage of good people,” said Armey, the chairman of FreedomWorks, a free-market group helping to organize this weekend’s Tea Party 9/12 Taxpayer March on Washington.

Armey also suggested that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is not his ideal candidate in 2012. “There’s nobody from Alaska on my list,” he said.

Yeah, and Christie has convinced me that he wants to remain NJ’s governor.

I could think of worse guys.

Adequate experience in government. No executive experience in government but has run a marketing research firm and presumably met a payroll. He’s also been a drummer in a cover band - a definite plus!

Really Onyx, do any of these guys stand a chance against Obama or Hillary? Not that they aren't good men but the climate has to change a whole lot before any of them can knock it out of Bo's or Hillarys park. They simply do not have the notoriety and sadly that will be necessary with the caliber of voters that vote these days.

"IF Palin were a pole dancer it would be Pole Dancers or Flag officers, I reckon."

Not the sexism again: Tap dancing in a minefield is not recommended.

I guess Obama's 23% strongly approve vs his 47% strongly disapprove doesn't cut any ice with you.

Those will change again as he creates events that will make him smell like a rose....Heck look at Ol’Mcbain..he was dead in his tracks and he was handed the go ahead by whoever was working behind the scenes to take out all the other potentials....I don’t underestimate BO one bit...nor those who brought the jerk into office.

Bo will either not run and ol Hitlary will step into the fray....or he’l rise again and we better have a great candidate who can shine....unfortunately there are none in the group mentioned here....apart from PAlin.
