Hanging your hopes on the "birther" stuff is pretty weak. That was never going to pan out.
So you don't like 1 out of the list of candidates I noted off the top of my head? So what? There is still plenty of good candidates. The idea that our potential contenders are bad is a media creation - and not a new one at that. There is not a thing wrong with Palin, Bachmann, Pawlenty and yes Gingrich. If you don't like Gingrich, then just scratch him off the list. There are others as well that may or may not jump in the race - and our bench is extremely strong with folks like Christie, Rubio & Martinez (all of which could be asked to run as a VP).
Hussein is very beatable. It will be tough no doubt, and it will require a great campaign and everyone to pitch in as best they can - but BHO has been an awful President who is rapidly bankrupting the nation and there is no reason at all we can not remove his socialist carcass from the White House by beating him in an election. We don't need conspiracies theories to take Obama down, we just have to offer voters a clear conservative choice and a better vision of the future.
I admire your optimism but I just don’t agree. I think this is 2004 all over again but the party roles reversed. Bush was very beatable but the rats had nobody running who could do it. These candidates are all deeply flawed. For starters, I don’t like Huckabee, Romney, Gingrich or Daniels. Palin has been so demonized that she is unelectable. Her negatives are too high to overcome. I like Bachmann, but she has no executive experience. Pawlenty was a decent governor and is relatively conservative but comes across as a boring milquetoast. He’s also taken some positions over the years that are a bit troubling. As for Christie, I don’t think he’s running and he’s a little too east coast for my taste.
