If the 2012 Republican Party Primary were held today?

Let's see what the temperature is, shall we???

Gary Johnson.

Gary Johnson.

You had to know I was going to do that, right???

Sarah Palin needs to be sent on a ship far, far away from any political race. She's a cancer to the Republican Party, and I guarantee you that the Dems will get another 4 years if she's the face of the party in 2012.

If we're going to take back the White House, it won't be with the same garbage that has been failing us for 10 years.

I'd pick Tim Pawlenty or Bobby Jindal personally.

Well I have an opinion myself, but this is the slate I have seen being bantered around in other forums...

Since this is a pro-Second Amendment forum, I would look at the entire list here and see who's the best "proven" supporter of this "one-button" issue with some people...

Where's my none of the above?

Where's my none of the above?

Duly noted...

Since Charles Cotton wasn't listed I chose 'None of the above'.

I'm a Duncan Hunter fan...

Give me Paul Ryan at this point. . . if only somebody would convince him to run.

Ditto on that

Beat me to it. My thoughts exactly.

I'll take Ron Paul out of those we know of at this time, but I'd be pretty surprised if he actually got the nomination.

I agree with pbwalker that the farther Palin is from the 2012 election the better. The democrats are salivating for another Palin run.

I am so glad that the GOP primary is not today or even this year. If the GOP is to have any chance at all in 2012, it had better start listening to ALL of the people and thinking about a realistic and viable platform of health care reform, equalization of taxes and national security. Iraq is not a winner and neither is Afghanistan - let those infidels kill each other off and good riddance.

The wealthy need no more tax cuts/loopholes nor do the pharmaceutical and insurance companies need any government protection. Social Security and Medicare does need government protection and the existing laws pertaining to illegal entry and border protection must be rigidly enforced.

While Sarah Palin is a refreshing new face and personna, she needs to start fading away. But what the hey, who takes her place? We need real and believable candidates and a real platform that ALL of the people can identify with or it ain't gonna' happen.

As to the poll, if I had to vote today - I'd write in either Ted Nugent or The Annoyed Man (TAM).

The Newt.
Mitt as VP
Sarah Chief of Staff

Just kidding on Sarah, but I do like her, She says whats on her mind, I am glad she on our side.
