*Candidates in red are in the ”I can't get drunk enough to vote for them” category. If you think some of the candidates on this list are obscure you should see the ones I left off.

Of the candidates on your list that are "in" or "near-in" and with any chance at all, I would vote for (alphabetically) Bachmann, Cain, Palin, Pawlenty, Perry, or Santorum.

Conversely, I would not vote for (in the primary, at least) Gingrich, Huntsman, Johnson, Paul, or Romney. (I'm not even bothering to mention the rest.)

Well if it were my list everyone would be red except Palin...

hmm, there’s something about Rick Santorum in particular I just don’t trust.

You did not include me in your list of Republican candidates. I have the campaign poster ready already.
