Well there they are.....So says Politico. Any surprises? Guess Palin haters will have to wait. :2razz:
 
I usually wait until the field has thinned out before I start reading up on all the candidates, not just Republicans.

If I started now, I'd be bug**** nuts by the time it came to pull a lever....
 
OPPs you missed one.

My Wife and I were discussing a GOP dream team. We couldn't think of one. :roll:

Heya GG. :2wave: Well these are who say and or thinking about it. The GOP could go with a Woman VP this time round. That is definitely being made evident. Despite no Palin.

Thanks WCH.....I wanted them all out there. So we can see who looks Presidential.....and who just does not.
 
Does anyone else feel like that if Hillary is the Dem candidate, the GOP needs to run a woman or two?

Heya UWS. :2wave: Yeah.....I don't even know why he is even thinking of trying. Moreover he has no Appeal across the Country nor the party.

May have to even point out to Condi Rice.....why she needs to Step in and take Hillary on and do it for Country. Moreover to show Hillary.....What a real SOS with brains looks like.

I like her...maybe paired with Suzanna Martinez.

Condoleezza Rice on the Issues

It would also give Repubs/Conservatives a chance to show we're not misogynists or racists.

Yeah....I like Susana Martinez too. She could be VP material and she knows how to deal with Democrats. Even with the Likes of Bill Richardson.

Now you know Rice goes with any Presidential Marriage.....just sayin. :mrgreen:

Not to mention.....Condi would crush Hillary in all of the Debates. Which would be fun to watch.

Rubio can sit his ass down.....he is nothing but a Yes man. He is looking to his career. They can forget a Jeb Bush's ass too.....let him know the Pasture is out that way>>>>>

Santorum needs to keep his mouth shut and take a seat on the back of the bus.

McDonnell Old McDonalds.....Sorry no Clowns allowed.


There that should narrow it down some. :mrgreen:

Not me.

Has America learned nothing from the last 5 years of choosing a candidate simply because it breaks some artifical barrier? Please try to pick someone this time that isn't just good at smiling, carrying a tune, and welcoming sports teams to the White House.

Hi MMC !!

I'm liking the idea someone had of
Condi Rice & S.Martinez or N Haley.

Competent females running the Country would be a great thing!!
 
Jeb Bush will be the next President of the United States, unless, of course, Obama resigns and sticks the US with Biden.
 
Condi Rice has absolutely no interest in the Presidency, so stop dreaming, LOL.

Suzanna Martinez and Nikki Haley are both interesting possibilities. I vote for individuals rather than on gender or most other "givens" (I would have to look carefully at a candidate from, say, New Jersey).

But I will say this: The thought of having to endure Hillary Clinton's shrill voice for four years makes me shudder.
 
Two more to add to the list:
