Pence for President

If confession is good for the soul, let me pour out my soul for you. As I stood at the beginning of 2008, I find myself in the same position here as we now begin the very real discussions of who should be the candidate for the GOP in 2012.

Let me be clear: I will support the nominee, whoever she or he may be.

But right now I am not excited by or inspired by any of them save Sarah Palin and, as much as I love Sarah Palin, I am adamantly convinced that she cannot win given the ridiculous smears and hate thrown her way by Democrats and, frankly, by a lot of Republicans. She has been made radioactive

Uh-oh....didn't Pence vote for the bailouts?

I just saw that this was already posted but the original poster didn’t put any keywords in it so I didn’t find it when searching.

[pissant]

Nope.

[biggredd1]

The answer is Pence/Palin.

[BufordP]

Well, then search by title. Can't post a thread without a title.

As I posted in the other thread this link my throw sand in Erick’ gears.

The best question is this:

DIDN’T PENCE LOSE THE REDSTATE POLLS TO CAIN AND PALIN?

And the arrogance of Red State of making endorsement even before the primaries!

Bwah hahahaha!

[Ooh-Ah]

I think he could be a surprise candidate when people hear his depth on critical issues.

[Cicero]

Pence is a good guy. But it’s delusional to think that he could get more votes than Palin. He needs a lot more grooming, first. More executive experience, more exposure.

[Bigtigermike]

Sorry.....but it now appears that Pence is running for governor of Indiana

Come on people! What we need is the WH for 4 years beginning in 2012! Then our up and comers will be ready. Hate to say it but it points to McDaniels and/or Sen.Corbett.

Why? Pence is a good legislator.

But since when do legislators make great executives these days?

It’s so annoying.

Obama.

McCain.

"Hate to say it but it points to McDaniels and/or Sen.Corbett."


McDaniels did a good job as Governor, but I am still in a wait and see mode as none of the perspective candidates have inspired me. I like Pence but it looks like he may run for Governor. From what I read in the most recent edition of the National Review, John Bolton is a much more all around conservative than I had realized. His candidacy would be of interest even if it only served to lend more substance to the debates. Newt can play that role as well but I have a hard time seeing either get elected unless we have another national security disaster. In that case, Bolton may have an opening. Bolton is more than a match for Newt intellectually, has less baggage and is far less likely to stick his finger in the wind to determine a position to take.
