Straw Poll: Who do you want in 2012?

I'm not convinced any of the people on this list can beat the President, partially because of previous stumbles and partially because of the math.

Still, primaries are all about persuading your fellows to vote for your candidate, unlike the general election which is about holding your nose and voting for the idiot your fellows chose instead. So who's it going to be?

Gregg is a Rino and his biggest accomplishments have been stabbing his constituents and his party in the back.

“Gregg is a Rino and his biggest accomplishments have been stabbing his constituents and his party in the back.”

RINO is such an archaic term.

I LOVE RINOs.

I hope and pray the Tea Partiers who were elected are RINOs.

Nobody stabbed the Republican Party in the back.

Their wounds were all self-inflicted.

Judd Gregg has more gonads than that new weepy Republican Speaker of the House ever had.

Judd Gregg called Barry’s bluff for bi-partisanship and accepted the position of Secretary of Commerce.

He told Barry to stick it where the sun don’t shine when the Chicago political machine boys of Rahm and Axelrod wanted him to politicize the census.

[t-dude]

Missing a few names, I see.

Only missing one other that will probably run.

John Huntsman...your kind of guy!

The ones you're waiting for? Not gonna happen, sorry.

The pizza dude will make you happy, stick with him...

I like DeMint too but why take him out of the senate? We need people in that body to ride herd. Sarah Palin got my vote. A Pres. Palin will need allies in both houses to get things done.

[upsdriver]

John Bolton isn’t a vote getter. He has no chance.

[GlockLady]

The ‘stache’ would make a great Secretary Of State for a Palin administration.

[Navy Patriot]

Sarah Palin or a third world America, voters choice.

[upsdriver]

Palin has shown little willingness to do even the basic blocking and tackling that a race for president usually requires and yet there is a case to be made that if she runs, she is the frontrunner in the Iowa caucus and South Carolina primary. Baffling. (Previous ranking: 2)

It's obvious these people haven't studied Sarah Palin at all. She doesn't follow the rules, she makes the rules.

[Mountain Mary]

Allen West
Chris Christie
Michele Bachmann
Paul Ryan

I agree. We need people like DeMint in the Senate and House.

If Sarah wants to run for President, 2012 is the year for her. It is meant to be. She is the only one in the position to turn Barry out of office. She is the only one with the abilities to wrest our country from the grip of the Left and lead it back to a Constitutional Republic.
She is:
courageous and fearless with a servant’s heart;
intelligent with terrific instincts and management skills;
rock solid and consistent in her common-sense constitutional conservative principles and positions;
a believer in American Exceptionalism and our founders’ vision;
a consensus-builder;
equipped with an uncanny grasp of the big picture as well as
pertinent individual issues facing our nation;
able to assemble a team of the best people to work with her;
a decision-maker and a quick study;
would be terrific with foreign relations [respectful,
gracious,loyal to allies, and firm with those that require it]
a terrific communicator and can kick a** in debates.

In short, Sarah Palin is the only figure on the national stage who fully knows what needs to be done and is capable of doing it with my full confidence.
JMHO!

Plus, she has been more thoroughly vetted than anyone else ever will be. Once she is campaigning as she sees fit [instead of McCain’s people], she will start winning new supporters over.

[upsdriver]

Well stated!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

He is no conservative at all.

[GlockLady]

Thank you. I was trying to be concise. LOL

[Cobra64]

Pence and DeMint.

[Rational Thought]

???

[excopconservative]

Romney will need to find a good answer on why the health care law he signed in Massachusetts is different from the national plan President Obama signed but he still has time to do it.

---

Does WaPo really think that TEA party voters will care what his explanation is? He can say, “I didn’t know the gun was loaded.” or “I didn’t know it was pointed right at you,voters.” or “I didn’t realize that it was socialism, but I guess now it is.” Nothing he can say about it will make any sense to those of us fighting against it.

[unseen1]

Pence isn’t running. Why would he be in a poll. and demint says 5% chance that he will run.

[gitmo]

Cain’s the only Republican who has formed an exploratory committee.

[varon]

Agree, Palin/Cain would be a great team.

Palin/Limbaugh would be even greater ;-)

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Please review his positions on gays in the military and amnesty for illegals for starters.I like his foreign policy views but once I found out about his positions on domestic policy I passed.
