jees...is that a serious question? Who knows??? Are you fishing for some Palin discussion?

It's a little early to be painting targets on people isn't it??? Or are you worried?

Palin - Will be branded a "Quitter" and can't handle the heat.

Romney - Republicans won't pick a Mormon.

Huckster - Republicans won't pick a Baptist.

Jindal - If his first speech was any indication, Republicans are in trouble. I think he's too much like Sarah Palin to have a real shot at winning the election but he'd do good in the primary.

Someone else - Unless a congressman or Governor steps up, there is really nobody else.

There's always Newt, but there is no way in hell he'd win. I'm sure this isn't a good way to get the woman vote:

"She had undergone uterine cancer surgery during the successful 1978 campaign, which Gingrich was not averse to mentioning in his speeches. Eighteen months later, they separated. While in the hospital recovering from another uterine operation, according to his friend Lee Howell, “"Newt came up there with his yellow legal pad, and he had a list of things on how the divorce was going to be handled. He wanted her to sign it. She was still recovering from surgery, still sort of 'out of it,' and he comes in with a yellow sheet of paper, handwritten, and wants her to sign it.” According to Howell, friends in her church had to raise money for the separated wife of the congressman and her daughters. Later, Jackie Battley Gingrich went to court for adequate support, before the divorce decree. In his financial statement, Gingrich reported providing $400 per month, plus $40 in allowances for his daughters. Gringrich claimed to be unable to afford more, but the same financial statement lists his expenditures for his food/dry cleaning etc. (one person) as $400"

Oh, and this:

"He remained married to Ginther until 2000, when they divorced. Shortly thereafter, Gingrich then married Callista Bisek, with whom he was conducting an extra-marital affair at approximately the same time he was leading the Congressional investigation into allegations that Bill Clinton lied under oath about his affair with Monica Lewinsky."

agreed...

I think it will be a year+ before we start seeing the jockeying for position...

 

[Xenophon]

The old names won't be much of an isue either, when people 'predict' these things they tend to haul out out the old failed names.

 

[Modbert]

Oh wait, almost forgot:

Ron Paul - If he decides to run, it will be a cold day in hell before the GOP allows him to be the nominee.

Who will be the republican nominee in 2012?

I don't mean to derail your discussion, but my answer AT THIS TIME is: "It doesn't matter."

UNLESS we STOP President Obama in his tracks immediately, and then seize control back in 2010 in the House of Representatives and perhaps put in a few more conservatives to dislodge the liberal Democrat super-majority presently infesting the Senate, our Republic may not survie as a Constitutional Republic long enough for 2012 Presidential politics to matter.

Well, fuck, man, I would hate to see if you WERE trying to derail it.

Jindall has the best shot of those named IMHO, but I think it will be someone no one is considering right now.

There you go derailing it. What is with the whole "Omgz! Obama = Socialist! We're all gonna be commie slaves!!!"

I told you in the other thread, if you truly think all the Democrats in congress are Liberal then you are smoking some serious stuff. Besides, there are many Democrats who hold Republican views so where the hell do you get this "super-majority" from?

Back on-topic: Jindal is the only person I can see even having a legitimate shot at the moment out of those above.

On the contrere, I learned long ago to vote for the party, not the candidate. It is impossible to sort out each and every candidates' positions on every subject, but the republican candidates as a whole are in line with my political thoughts.

with the exception of David Duke, I can't think of a republican I wouldn't support over Obama.
