Sarah Palin might be better, but I don't want her either. I hope to high heaven that Sarah Palin does not enter the race at this point. IMO it could possibly result in a second term for Obama.

Way too early to predict or be betting on one candidate. I'm hoping for Perry, but who knows what's going to happen. I hope he gets stronger. IMO, neither Palen nor Bachmann stands a chance, but it's okay with me if they want to draw the fire and give the left something to obsess about. The more targets they have, fine. Sorry to see Huntsman acting the ass and going after fellow Republicans at this point. His dad is a very nice man.

Klp Excuse my coming in on the conversation here. The point I would make is that we need a winning 'team" A Presidential Candidate and a V.P. candidate. And, yes I keep repeating this. And, that team needs to be put in place early---------i.e. when Reagan and Bush won in 1980 and 1984 by the spring of the convention year---------Reagan and bush were the two candidates. The only thing to be decided was which one would be President-------that was worked out via the convention process . Some would say that if the team is known early that allows time for the Dems to target the candidates-------that will happen regardless of who the nominees are, that is to be expected. At this point in time, the one that I am uncomfortable with is Huntsman--------the Democrats like him and that to me is a sign that they would like to see him the nominee because he is weak as a Republican, a candidate they could easily defeat. Obama will do everything he can to pander to the illegals by granting amnesty and citizenship before the 2012 election----------he will create a jobs program that will likely fail in the future but entice some of the same supporters he had for 2008-------he will create another agency/or use an existing one to handle the phones and supervise applications--------this is make work. (In other words Obama will create a government employment agency to vie with private industry. ) So my position is that we need the strongest possible team to defeat Obama------sure his ratings are down, but he is doing everything he can possibly do with that executive pen to garner votes for 2012. mj
