With Palin and Christie both saying no to running, it looks like the republican field for 2012 is pretty much set. This brings to my mind a number of questions. What do you all think about these:
1) Romney is the frontrunner and has been all along except for a spike by Perry. Can he hold on to frontrunner status? Can he make conservatives excited enough to come out in force in Nov 2012?
2) Perry came in with huge numbers, and fell of fast. What can he do to recover and give himself a shot at the nomination?
3) Bachmann, is she a serious candidate? How does she overcome that she is part of a congress with a 10 % approval rate?
4) Cain is surging. What does he need to do to continue to surge? How can he combat the charge he has no government experience?
5) Is there anything Paul can do to appeal to mainstream voters?
6) Can any one else make an impact?
7) How do the candidates appeal to the Tea Party for the primaries, without being saddled with the Tea Party candidate tag which would hurt in the general?
8) Any front runners for VP?
