Rasmussen: Top 3 GOP candidates for 2012

OK, the election’s over, and the message from most voters was that they didn’t care much for President Obama’s agenda. Now the focus is on the race for the presidency in 2012.

On the Republican side, it’s a dead heat between the ex-governors – Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Mike Huckabee of Arkansas and Sarah Palin of Alaska, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely GOP Primary voters.

Asked who they would vote for if the Republican presidential primary were held today, 20% say Romney, 19% Huckabee and another 19% Palin.....more

We'll see. I don't think she can be stopped now if she wants it. Carter gave us Reagan. After suffering through 0bama, we've earned Sarah Palin.

If the GOP has any brains, it will nominate Romney & a Southerner for Veep, Huckabee or Barbour.
Outside shot it will be Jindal or Rubio for Veep.

Since Tancredo isn't going to be tied up in a governor's slot next year (Thanks, you GoP Asshats! :bigbird: ) He makes my (subject to change) short list with Sarah and Allan Keyes for now.

She is going to run. Her millions of admiring fans are not going let her sit on the sidelines and let a RINO be our nominee. All of the eastern Rockefeller Repubs can go fly a kite.

Huckabee is not a conservative.

He's Bill Clinton - redux, w/o the Monica mess.

Romney has the health care albatross around his neck.

Palin will lose IMO. She'll lose big.

The GOP will almost certainly take back the Senate. So the US will have divided government until 2016 if Palin's the nominee.

That's not a bad thing.
