I hope that your list is one that ranks each candidate in order of dropping out! 1,2 and 3 are no way for me, and #4 is NFL (Not F’ing Likely).

The rest range between OK and good, but all us conservative Constitutionalists MUST get behind one or two good guys, or the RINOs and GOPe wins the nomination, and allows the Dims to stuff another craphat into the WH!

I agree.

But, just because you have an Hispanic member of your family, that does not mean you through out all your common sense about immigration.

I hope people get it.

p.s. I also have 2 Hispanic members in my family .. and I STILL DON’T BELIEVE IN THIS WHOLESALE HI-JACKING OF AMERICA.

I think the missed question here is HOW does Mr. Cook know the country is going to surge for a conservative, even TEA party candidate? I thought the TEA party was dead?

Is it..... polling? While the MenSeekingMen furiously suppress any news about Cruz, certainly SOMEBODY is doing real polling for POTUS ‘16. Cooks is doing the RATS a real favor by advising them to invest their money anywhere except fellow RATS over the next two years.

Wasn’t too long ago that Sarah polled the “highest favorability rating” among Republicans. Just sayin!

I wonder if she will even run?

Probably not.

Pence is good—so is Walker, We should go Tea Party for the VP slot—Mike Lee? Ted Cruz? or General Petraus?

Third reason Bush won’t get nomination. He’s a Bush.

That's the bottom line. Bush fatigue is strong. Fuelled by the recognition that like the rest of his family he is not conservative.

When the GOP aspirants hit the road and start speaking/debating, Cruz will emerge as the man to beat.

I would love to believe this. However, I’m convinced that the GOPe and their NWO masters will destroy every conservative candidate just like last time. JEB! will be the last man standing.

Conservatives did a good job of destroying their candidates last time. Romney only got to the nomination with a plurality created by too many Conservative candidates (including some with serious baggage) diluting the Conservative vote.

Conservatives coalesce quickly around a Cruz or Walker candidacy, and that candidate will get the nomination.

What if she doesn’t ran?

Doesn't matter I will write her in, if I live long enough to see another election.

too many journalists will try to tie him to the Bush legacy

Jeb has his own legacy. Amnesty, Common Core and Terri Schiavo.

Palin's political shelf life is pretty much up. She may again play coy like in 2012, but this time fewer people will care one way or another about her antics up to the filing deadline, when she again goes away.

At this point, Cruz remains the correct answer. (and NBC stands for NoBody Cares)

Ryan.

The open-borders shill who couldn’t handle Joe Biden in a debate.

If her shelf life was used up, as you so coyly put it, then her support for candidates this past November would have been null. It wasn’t null but vibrant.

This means there are a number of senators and congressmen/women who owe her their support when she runs in 2016.

I think Palin's OK. Her work in this years' races is commendable. I just don't think she's still a substantial nationwide political figure. Also some of her recent decisions (reality TV, PPV Internet channel - not to mention the half term in AK) strike me as un-Presidential.

Nevertheless, if she runs (she won't) and is the only non-RINO, I'd vote for her again (counting '08). And in the alternate reality in which SP wins the nomination, I would vote for her in the general (as the Dems cruise to 300 EVs).

Alrighty. I guess we'll just have to win without you.
