Interesting.......What say you?

one word: Absurd.

Cheney would be over 70 by then. I don't think he has ever expressed interest in the presidency. His health would also be in question, with his history of heart attacks.

I don't think Palin would accept another VP candidacy either.

Ok..how about Palin/Cheney? I also saw that Newt Gingrich is thinking of another run. I don't think the future of the GOP has emerged yet, but it is interesting to see all these old guard names coming out.

Why not have a BinLaden/Snow ticket? The race would be closer.

How about a little balance.....jpotts/RICKAMAVEN

All right, my take then:

Obama will be the President and incumbent in 2012. For any Republican to have a decent chance, he will have to have really screwed up by then, and have the blame attached to him. The best opportunity is if unemployment is still high, which sucks for the country but is good for opposition.

Obama ran as a fresh-faced "change the tone in Washington" populist. If he ends up in 2012 as being vulnerable, I don't think Palin's chances are good as being the populist replacement. I think the country would be looking for more stability. Old guard...probably.

Don't think it will be Newt or Romney, though.

^"Republican to have a decent chance, he will have to have really screwed up by then, and have the blame attached to him."

Are you insinuating that anything he has done to date has been good for America????And I don't see that changing anytime in the near future.I still think his biggest concern will come from within his own ranks.I'm a staunch conservative.......but the libs I do know here in my little part of West Texas that did vote for him are sorry they did so and damn sure will not again.

If the republicans trot out a 50 year old Southern moderate, they'll win.

If they pick Porn Palin, some career politician over 60, or some guy caked in make up, they'll lose again.

Never thought Clinton would get a second term. Obama's chances are better than his.

Ron, no issue here, I am also very conservative. I just wanted to add my thoughts concerning the 2012 Republican line-up, using as neutral a tone as possible.

FWIW, I don't think Obama is going to make it. Congress will likely get the blame for health care, but Obama will get the blame for the KSM trial. I can't believe he did that, there is absolutely no upside to going that route.

Oh, man...that would be hilarious. Cluess/Heartless in 2012!

keep in mind when talking to the couple liberals you know..... if they know you are a staunch conservative they might just say whatever it takes to get out of the conversaton.... ie I would never vote for him again.....

I hope the republicans run someone better than last time. If they ran McCain Palin or the equivelent again I would vote Obama simply because it shows theire inability to learn.

It would not take much to get me back to voting republican for prez but anything with palin involved would not be it.

Repubs will trot out Obama-Lite (Huckabee).

He doesn't stand for anything.

Has a nice smile and is under 55.

Has an Oprah like talk show, so he can read a teleprompter.

Game, set, match elephants.

Ocho...you think Huck would beat Obama? He would in my world.

I wouldn't vote for him, but 51% of America would, for the reasons stated above.

^8Track

I disagree......Huckabee at least has a set of morals and values that makes sense to me.He is a conservative which is even more important to me.I also know liberals would dislike his common sense approach to government as much as I detest Obama's head up ass approach to government.Does all this make Huckabee a good candidate.........only the shadow knows.

Ron

Huckabee = flat tax?

^works for me!!!!

Ron

He's also a smoke-Nazi.

Ask Homebrew.

^LMAO
