i'll take a stab at this, altho i'm not a 'righty'. who knows? lol

remember when bill clinton was thought to not have a chance in hell?! i would have to think gingrich has too many skeletons in his closet. i think sarah palin is an idiot, i would never vote for huckabee as i tend to shy away from ultra-religious folks. mitt romney seemed ok, but i just really don't know much about him. i could say the same for the rest of them. as for jindal, he didn't impress many with his response to the president a year ago, i think he's too new to the scene, that he's not ready for that leap.

i just prefer it when one party is in the executive and the other controls the legislative. we seem to get more accomplished that way.

Best three from that list is #1) Newt Gingrich (though I'll probably get crap for that.. I'd vote for him in a second. #2) Mitt Romney #3) Tim Pawlenty
