I had “Ryan-Abbott 2012” for my tagline for a while and FReepers were pinging me with “Who?” Everyone would be saying the same thing about Dirk Kemthorne. Hell, I had to look him up to see who he is.

Ashcroft is MSM-damaged, same as Jindal, although to a far lesser extent.

I've always liked Haley Barbour. That “aw shucks” act covers up that he's a grade A political animal. But he would be portrayed as “Boss Hogg” if he ran. Plus he f**ked up at the end of his term as Gov. with those pardons.

Scott Walker would be an EXCELLENT choice, BTW!!!

I thought that every freerepublic user would know about Kemthorne, since he’s been a U.S. senator, governor, and cabinet member.

Scott Walker doesn’t have enough political experience, since he’s only been a governor for 14 months. Another good candidate would be Judd Gregg.
