feel free to add someone in a comment.

I think they should find a Latino conservative, since they will be the largest minority soon

Right now, I wouldn't vote for any of them.

SaRAH... SaRAH...

This woman has a RECORD of cutting wasteful spending. She has a record of reducing and effectively managing her state.

Rush Limbaugh shouldn't be on the Ballot imho.

Second Huckster and DISTANT... (insert anyone else conservative here before him and vote as a last resort) Mitt.

Sarah's only problem is media bias and Tina Fey.

She had Obama beat hands down with executive experience but you'd never hear that.

I understand... but I'm not going to let negative media determine the leader I think best represents my political beliefs and can get results.

sadly enough I dont think any of them on that list can win... I really do wonder if they will look for a latino. Laugh if you want but that is the next largest voting minority. Right now we have the image of a southern white only party, though that is not true it is there.


I love sarah, not sure if she could win. I like Mitt as well.

I'm politically moderate.. Somewhere between a democrat and a libertarian, if that makes any sense... I consider myself in the middle politically.. For the longest time I thought I'd vote for Obama, but in the end, I voted for Bob Barr... Don't ask why, it'll take too long!

From where I stand, the Republican party has an image issue.. A really bad one. GWB screwed things up for you guys, and it's going to take a grassroots conservative to rise up with some huge political wins for you guys to make a comeback.. On top of that, Obama and the democrats are going to have to screw up royally.

While I don't agree with everything Obama does, I like the guy, and it's obvious he's trying to make a difference. GWB looked like a fool most of the time (probably thanks to the media) and it's going to take time for the Republicans to come back from that.

Rush Limbaugh isn't going to do it for you. He's an obvious opportunist who's out for the money. If he could make more money pandering to the liberals, he'd do it..

Palin has too much Tina Fey satire attached to her, and ironically, I think she's too pretty to be president. I doubt people would give her a chance because they'd think she has no brain behind her good looks. (Not saying I believe that, just an observation.)

I really like Huckabee. Had he made it to the end, he would have had my vote. I like the Fair Tax, but the average person doesn't understand it. I think he carries himself well, and comes off as an everyday man's man..

John McCain was simply too old and came off as irrelevant.

I also like Mitt Romney. His success in business could be invaluable during our current economic crisis.. I could have voted for him as well... I would like to see a Romney-Huckabee card.....

As far as a Latino... I doubt that'll work. Most latinos I know are democrats and Obama fans. I just don't think that would be beneficial to the Republicans.

Jeb Bush - no chance thanks to his brother, although most people in FL really loved him as governor.

Newt - totally irrelevant to the younger crowd.. we don't know enough about him nor do we care... it's like... "umm.. next please."

Huckabee/Palin
Romney/Palin

Out of those named, I would strongly consider voting for Huckabee.

Of those named, Mike Huckabee is the only one with a remote chance at electability. IMHO, the Republican party, as an institution, is toast. It is far too stereotyped as southern, white, old, Christian... whatever... to be seen as an inclusive big tent party.

The political climate is ripe for a young, dynamic, cool, conservative black/hispanic/asian/multi-racial man or woman to launch not just a 3rd party, but a passionate movement that could attract the young, people of color, non-Christians and a more diverse base. It is the only hope of unseating the Democratic left, I think.

I for one as a Conservative, not necessarily a Republican, am not looking for an inclusive big tent party. Either be conservative or get out of the tent is what I say!

I would love to see this.. The need for a 3rd party was a huge part of why I voted Libertarian.

will a 3rd party ever have a real chance at winning, or just continue pulling votes from the party it is closest to?

That was a really honest and GREAT post! I only threw in Rush to see if anyone really thought he is the leader of the party. I think he is a joke. I like what he says some times but he is a "rep" machine whether they are right or wrong.

I would love a MITT and HUCKABEE ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I think the Latinos would change parties easily, most minorites do not pay attention to much to the actual politics. That was proven in this past election with Howard sterns experiment
