My take on their Top Ten:
10. Paul Ryan -He might run, but I don’t see him getting anywhere.
9. Mike Huckabee - Huck should probably stick with his talk show. A no-hoper for the nomination, IMHO. I think he’s a good man, but his political window of opportunity has passed, IMHO.
8. Ted Cruz - Cruz will run, and make a very strong run at that. He’s probably the #1 choice for most conservatives.
7. Bobby Jindal. I really, really like Jindal. He’s my personal favorite of the bunch. I think, unfortunately, he will suffer from Dick Lugar Syndrome if he runs: incredibly smart and very capable, but kinda dull, kinda short, and seen as kinda RINO-ish in some circles.
6. Kasich - On paper, there’s a lot to recommend him. He’s won twice in a crucial battleground state the GOP has twice lost. He’s fairly popular, and he’s experienced. In practice, he’d be better than what the Democrats will offer up, but probably would be a squishy conservative that’s going to “reach across the aisle” too often. His embrace of the ACA has made a lot of conservatives wary.
5. Scott Walker - Could be, could very well be. The guy’s got sand, as they say. And he’s a governor, which I think will bode well for 2016.
4. Marco Rubio - eh, I don’t think so. He might get the VP slot, but I don’t see him at the top of the ticket in 2016.
3. Jeb Bush - No. Please no. Pretty please no, with sugar sprinkles on top.
2. Chris Christie - Christie might end up at VP (doubtful), or with a plum job in a GOP administration (more likely), but I really don’t see the guy as a Presidential contender.
1. Rand Paul - I’ll probably be flamed a little here, but to me Rand Paul is too much like his dad. It’s in a nicer, more rational package, but I’m still not sold on him.
Bobby Jindal’s IQ is 40 points higher than the Harvard Law graduate B. H. Obama, current resident of the White House..

Agree and go further...Rubio would be a good pick for VP. Florida would go nuts for him and close down the well known voter fraud in Miami/Broward/Palm counties. Cruz/Rubio?
In any case conservatives need to keep our choices few and clean. The GOPe will try anything to get Bush/Christe/other in. Excellent example is Graham of SC..solid conservative state but he is planning to run to keep conservatives out...no other reason. Graham knows he cant win but he is offering insurance to the GOPe candidate.
nice post
just for the record
i concur exactly.
Scott Walker is too squishy in amnesty IMO. It’s Cruz for me but it’s going to be hard. Huckster will get in to help the RINO’s take Cruz down by splitting the conservative vote. I don’t know why so many “evangelicals” fall for Huckster.
I would vote for Ted.
I don’t think any of the others would get much interest from me.
