Who Will Be The First GOP Candidate? Can You Predict Who Will Make The First Announcement?

Posted on 11/26/2010 9:42:58 PM PST by TheTeaPartyChannel

Actually,it's probably down to three candidates. Sarah Palin should decide not to run just to irritate the libs.Let's see if any of the Freepers can make an accurate prediction on the order of the first three. This would be a close prediction: Tim Pawlenty,then Rick Santorum.Third to run is a tossup between Gingrich,Romney&Thune. Someone out there will probably get it right.And One Of You Will Have Freeper Bragging Rights in 2011!

The scrubs will announce first. Pawlenty probably or maybe Santorum. Then you will get the Daniels,Thune, Barbour then Hutchinson, Gingrich with Romney and Palin going last.

RIGHT! the heavyweights will likely wait until early 2012.I don’t think either of the first three will get the nomination.Pawlenty is a safe prediction for the first.

Let’s just play this as if it was Sunday Football. Place your bets! I can agree on the first three,but wont make any predictions just yet.I need to analyze the score-sheet for a while.

1)Pawlenty 2)Romney 3)Santorum 4)Thune 5)Newt

I don’t think Mitch,or Huckabee will run.Palin will wait till the first five or six are in and decide at that time.

Palin’s on her own schedule, she’s not a follower. Mid-January.

February 6, 1911 in Tampico, Illinois on Reagan’s would be 100th Birthday. My prediction

I know that’s a popular guess and may be so, but I think she’s chomping at the bit and the Reagan tie-in could be seen as cheaply exploitive.

Pawlenty. He is organized already and needs to hit the ground running to make a big splash at the Ames Straw poll in August.

Shocking news:

OBAMA WILL RUN IN THE GOP PRIMARY!

[Is there anything that would prevent him to run into the primaries? Naaah!]

Truly a historic game-changing feat!

Last time I heard “Fair Tax”, it was the Geoists.

It’s a turn off.

First Question: Did T-Paw implement a fair tax in his state? How?

The Tea Party movement in November election is clear. PEOPLE HATE FAKES!

4 years ago the dems had 3 already in the race. WE are so dumb for not getting started on Nov 4th.

All the wasted time that could be knocking Obama.

Who ever does get in I would like to see them raise the money Palin will raise!

She can't win they say but everyone is giving to her war chest! And no one else can get any money.

The Palin nan sayers should start sending their money to 2nd tier players now!

The Huckster. His PAC is already raising money in the northern mid-west. Barf.

Don't know who will be first, but I expect Palin will have more recognition and have her opinions/beliefs out in the open by a 5 to 1 ratio over the next clsoest contender.

The question is whether the establishment GOP and others who get taken with MSM's smear campaign decide to play Russian Roulette with an automatic and a full clip.

i don’t think Newt will run. he likes being on the sidelines taking potshots at the players on the field. and he has too much baggage. press will rip him to pieces.

I think they are all going to wait to see what Sarah will do. If she announces to run; the field will be narrow. If she decides not to run; the will field of contenders will be huge.

Pawlenty of Minnesota.

Except for throwing out the trash and holding the staff Christmas Party, his governorship is over,since the legislature will not meet until January, so he has no further responsibilities, and he needs to get cracking and get his name-recognition north of 4% if he’s going to make it.
