2012 Rep Dream ticket

[The Rabbi]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Jeb Bush and Liz Cheney. Now there's a ticket!

Bush/Cheney. Has a nice ring to it

That ticket got us out of the last recession and kept the country safe for 8 years. Why the heck not??

Al Franken and Ben Stein would make an unbeatable ticket

Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann.

Anyone that wins the nomination will have a very good shot at winning.

Truth.
Obama is far more vulnerable than he lets on. Look at the states he needs to win and it doesn't look good. Ohio? Florida? Didnt they just elect Republicans to major offices?

And whats happenening to them? Talk about buyers remorse...

This is where you are getting hope from?

Obama 2012!

The 'HOPE' Mantra has rung hollow, hasn't it?

Admit it.

My thoughts are there is no such thing as a dream ticket. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has strengths. What we need is someone who will govern by principles, even if they as a person are flawed. We need someone who can inspire the people to live their lives by principle.

This nation wont be fixed in the White House. It will be fixed in our House. It will be fixed when we decide to make the choices that put us back on the straight and narrow.

What we have to have is:

1. Somebody with name recognition that doesn't immediately generate negative response/reaction.

2. Somebody with great campaign skills or ability to recruit people with such talent.

3. Somebody who holds the right convictions and won't compromise them out of political expediency.

Without No. 1 and 2, we won't ever get to No. 3 and even if we did, that person could not win.

You can slide on the first criterion, we lefties certainly did with Barack Hussein Obama! I never thought he'd make it out of the primaries, with a name like that. It would be like the republicans finding their dream candidate is actually named Rainbow Kumbaya Oneearth.

Thune/Pawlenty, but Thune isn't running. Thune is the only Republican who would have a shot at winning.

Daniels is not very well known right now..but I think he would do pretty well in a general. Thune isn't a slouch, however..also very strong.

Daniels is one candidate I would look at.

McCain/Palin 2012

They will do better than anyone else the Republicans are currently considering

I never thought of it like that - I think you are right!

In this coming election, like no other before in terms of partisan division, the GOP nominee will have to run HARD to the right during the primaries. That's where the buzz is created. No fence sitter he, the nominee will be loaded with positions that will scare the bejesus out of the Independents.

Those positions will have to be defended in the debates, in press conferences and on the stump. The moderates and independents will have to consider the hard core reactionary stuff the Tea Party laps up with a spoon. And it'll turn them off. Because, after all, the Tea Party types make up a large enough and vocal enough minority in the GOP to call the shots. A large enough minority in the GOP makes for a decidedly minority place among the electorate.

And that's how the radical right ate the Republican Party.

The fallacy in your argument is that the Tea Party represents the radical right. Nothing could be futher from the truth. You really need to get out more.

And I'm thinking picking a 'dream team' from either side this early is like betting the farm on a colt eighteen months before he runs in the Kentucky Derby.

People refuse to live in the NOW...and are quite fond of second guessing...

It's insane.

Palin/Bachmann 2012. Please.

Aw, c'mon! Go for the gusto, man!

It's gotta be Trump/Keyes.

True, but also true that the voters in both these states are not overly rejoicing after the first few months on the job. Both of these states are going to be tight either way, but don't make an assumption that because a Republican won the governorship that Obama won't carry them next year. Voters are reactionary; that is why Ohio dumped Strickland. However, if things don't improve greatly, they'll just blame Kasich.
