Running this like a business, responding to what people are interested in, huge emphasis on data, energized workers instead of those in it for a career...sounds like the Obama campaign, the only good part of which is that it is a successful model for SuperCruz to adopt and blow away all of the staid Republicrats.

As for Rand Paul, who is not a staid anything, I don’t believe that he will be as organized. Cruz is trained and experienced in breaking problems down into manageable components, and then constructing a coherent structure from those components. There is none of the vascillation and apparent inconstencies in the Cruz message that there is in the Paul message, and largely because Cruz is a deep thinker and strategist, whereas Paul is more of a gut-level guy who values the individual. I predict that Paul will be around for a while, but will peter out not too long after Super Tuesday, with most of his supporters going to Cruz.

Regarding others: Huckabee is a one-instrument band, he caters to (and does extremely well with) the evangelicals. It isn’t enough to get the nomination, let alone the White House. I am hopeful that Cruz’ head start, and his attempt to appeal to the evangelicals, will make Huck stay on the sidelines and go back to work making a couple million bucks a year at Fox. He can be tapped for some cabinet position if he throws support to Cruz. Christie - dead man waddling; the Obama hug finished him, he just doesn’t know it yet. Cruz could score real big by offering him the Dept. of Labor or Commerce. Rubio - with Cruz out there and raising bucks already, Rubio is just the 2nd conservative Hispanic out there. He won’t even win his home state because of Bush - and that will kill him. Bush - there are so many people that will simply not vote for the man because of his name that it makes winning the nomination very difficult. Besides, in (yet another) Clinton-Bush match, the Clinton will win (though were logic and common sense to prevail, Bush would clobber her - but we’re way beyond common sense in this country). Walker - he stands a chance, but he hasn’t declared and isn’t in front of everyone NOW. He doesn’t have the enthusiasm of the Cruz campaign. He will only stay in the news if he declares, and does so soon - every day that passes puts his organization another day behind Cruz’. Everyone else - FUHGEDABOUDIT! Mike Pence? Dug his national political grave last week, because of no guts. Kasich - unknown outside of Ohio, falling further behind every hour, very staid. He’d be a very good President, of that I have no doubt, but I think him unelectable. Jindal - won’t happen, no real charisma. Again, would be a very good President, but unelectable. Carson - make him Surgeon General or head of the FDA, he is simply not cut out for anything but local or state-level politics. He’s got some good ideas (and some not-so-good like his knee-jerk anti-gun comments a few weeks back), but he’s not Presidential timber.

Cruz-Walker is the winner for me. Cruz is the deep thinker, the ultimate pro-America candidate, and Walker has great executive experience and has shown PLENTY of guts over the past few years. That guy is a great campaigner, and just blows by the media. To me, this is an unbeatable ticket. What are the Dems going to put up, Cankles and some middling governor of a nothing state? Or maybe Cankles and Dick Turbin or some other corrupt pol? Or Fauxcahontas and anyone? Puhlease, this is about as bad of a freakshow as the Obama crowd, and the public is plainly tired of those unpatriotic morons.
