I like Huckabee, his fair/flat tax would do wonders. Romney is a good economist but is a chicken when it comes to other issues, and palin dont think she can be a president really

no, what got McCain the GOP nomination was an endorsement by the New York Times and the GOP's policy of allowing open primaries.

In order of appearance. Lame, lamer, lamest. Delusional tendencies manifesting their self 3.5 years early. Seems to me Rush Limbaugh stands a better chance, being the de facto head of the party, no matter how many times he denies it or how many times the liberals in the NFL throw him out or the owners sack him for a loss! At this point the Repubs don't have a candidate that can win.

nice bit of analysis, but your hero Obama isn't exactly steaming toward a landslide re-election. In fact, in a recent poll, only 43% of the people who voted for him last November would vote for him again.

I like Huckabee, but at the same time. I'm waaaay more interested in the elections next year for now. That's going to be a good indicator of what we may see.

3+ years out, nobody would have given a second thought to Bill Clinton, George W. Bush or Barack Obama having a snowball's chance in hell of winning either.

I have a feeling names like Jindhal and Pawlenty will start rising in the next 12-18 mos.

I think Jindal could very well be the conservative answer to Barack Obama.

I think a republican will have a very good shot at winning in 2012. It will be an election of people voting against Obama rather than for someone.

A lot of people are ticked off that they voted for Obama and this is what they got so they will be hell bent on voting for anyone with a pulse that runs against him.
