Let the games begin.  Afterall, we're only about 6 months away from the first hats going into that ring. Full article with reasons at this link:

Outside of the usual suspects, Romney, Huckabee, Palin.....here's her list:

Quote
1. Jan Brewer
2. Chris Christie
3. John Kasich
4. Mitch Daniels
5. Nikki Haley
6. Glenn Beck
7. Rick Perry
8. Haley Barbour
9. Mike Pence
10. Bobby Jindal

Of the above list, I like Christie, and of course, Sarah.  Do any of you have favorites yet, especially someone not mentioned yet?

I don't have a vote of course, but out of those I'd favour Bobby Jindal and Chris Christie. In fact why not Jindal/Christie 2012! They both have executive experience and seem to be fiscally conservative and competent, you've had the frst black president how about the first fat president?

Sounds good to me as I like them both.  Maybe I'd reverse your ticket, since Jindal is so young we could get 16 years of peace and prosperity  :-)

Hi,

I like Bobby Jindal a lot however he is really a poor speaker.  My feeling is I would put Brewer on the top of the ticket.  Hell she has 65%+ in favor of what she is doing on immigration, she could run on that platform and would garner a whole lot of votes.

Wow, the Ronulans are angry in the comments section.  :evillaugh:

As for Perry, no... I'm going to have to hold my nose for governor. Although no matter what, he'll be a damn sight better than Bill White.

I think you should have a vote. If the less knowledgeable DUmmies can vote, then you should be able to.

Ditto.  But what else are we to do?  I would rather Barbour than Jindal.  I hear Bobby may be a little too RINO for me, from peeps in LA.  Which is a disapointment.

LOL...you're right about the comments.  Almost like walking into the DU, in that "you're a moron" sort of way  :-)

John Boehner's franksolich's man.

Actually franksolich prefers Richard Cheney, but alas the real world interferes with that.
