Going to guess Christie and Rubio
Thanks for this article. I will comment on it in the next few days.
Larry Saboto is a documented fraud.
This con was caught hiding his work for the Va DNC and Dem VA senate candidate while hitting all the cable shows trashing the Gop candidate .
He was caught lying and laid low for a fews years .
He is a Dedicated Lefty Fraud posing as a pollster.
I recall in 2003 Fraud Larry predicted GWBush would lose reelection based on his polling.
The man is DNC plant and nothing more.
Rob Portman? So there is another Republican in Ohio besides Kasich.
Jeb Bush appears to be the establishment favorite, especially now with Christie on the ropes.
If you want a Republican governor with proven leadership experience, I would vote for Palin, Walker or Bush, in that order.
If you want a tea party patriot, with limited leadership experience I would vote for, in order of preference, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz or Rand Paul.
Any of these candidates would be far preferable to Clinton or any other hack the Democrat Party might nominate
I'm surprised Politico didn't try to push Colin Powell.
it is that no one on the present list seems able to convincingly combat the growing demographic edge that produces a Democratic lead in the Electoral College.<<
LOL..”growing demographic edge!”...ARE WE TALKING ABOUT GIVERS VS. TAKERS??
Rob Portman might win, but, for social conservatives, what would be the point? We could stand an even better chance of winning if we nominated Hillary. But, then again, what would be the point?
for later
PALIN/WEST??? Naaaaaaah, they’d scare the hell out of the NYT staff. Actually, if they were ever nominated, I’d say give it your best shot, maybe the idiots will open their eyes for a change. No mater who the Republicans put up, its going to be a dirty up hill battle and the good ole boy candidates won’t fight back. I believe the Palin West combo would, and that would be shear terror for the Libs who control the Democrat party. A firebrand like Palin vs our 1st queen? What would you give to see that? The Republicans don’t have anyone to match the guts of Palin and West, except for Cruz. The Public wants to see fighters up there, they want a winner, not another Republican schlep, because real Americans love winners!
My guess is we should just nominate another Democrat Lite candidate. After all, that has worked out SO well for us in the last two elections. /s
I don’t know where these people get this BS. Rob Portman is the invisible man in Ohio and every other setting. So white he glows in the dark and so damn boring he puts himself to sleep. Besides one homosexual son and he flips to pro gay marriage as if that will keep junior out of the bath houses and away from the Turnpike rest arias!
My prediction is that whoever gets nominated, FR will endorse them. We went from JimRob absolutely refusing to endorse a lying, baby-killing, gun-grabbing, homosexual agenda loving statist to actually endorsing him.
We might as well just change the name to FreeRepublican.com
Ryan was well positioned and poised to become that, but he blew it big time with his post election ‘Think I better lean left a bit’ attitude. If he had thrown his lot in with Cruz he would be the front runner now by body lengths and a threat to the Clinton wrecking crew.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker just by his shear ability to remain standing and effective with his agenda even after the progressives threw everything they had at him. He’s a proven elected executive and may not be as Rino’ish as some will make him out to be. There is a certain reality to compromise that will sometimes leave the stinking after taste of Rino meat But I think he’ll overcome that and be embolden to be a well versed conservative that won’t be pushed around by whining Liberals — in the media or not.
Ted Cruz, love him. Disaster if he runs for President. It would probably stop the Tea party in it’s tracks losing him in the Senate to a failed candidacy. He needs a few more years in the barrel stuck away in a wine cellar.
Sarah Palin — what a perfect candidate to run opposite Hillary. She’s everything Hillary isn’t. Real wife, real mother, real woman and doesn’t need a team of handlers orchestrating her every move and utterance to disguise she’s a fascist Progressive — and inept one at that as she’ll find out as “what difference does it make” becomes her anti-slogan. But Sarah too isn’t in the right area of her life to run, perhaps that would change, but she’s positioned herself as bona fide King maker. Capable of rousing crowds, the pithy soundbite, and raising money and sticking with principles.
My current fear is she’ll be the first person to run for vice-president twice. If you know what I mean, you know, if you dont’, don’t ask.
Sabato played a part in the democrat dirty trick campaign against George Allen when Allen ran for governor.
SAbato is a democrat hack, imo
if the general election turns out to be closely competitive, as most open-seat contests for the White House are, who among the Republicans can redraw an Electoral College map
On what planet are most open-seat presidential elections competitive? Let’s face it, there is a strong tendency for a sitting POTUS to win reelection - and an even stronger tendency for the public to be sick and tired of the party in power after 8 years. Ronald Reagan broke that trend on both ends - defeating a sitting POTUS in 1980, and seeing his sitting VP win election to POTUS in 1988. But aside from that instance and Washington and Andrew Jackson, sitting VPs don’t win election because the public is tired of their sitting POTUS.Truman is not an exception, because he was a sitting PoTUS, not VP, in 1948. Neither Harding nor Coolidge ran for a second term, so Coolidge and Hoover don’t break the mold either.
