Democrats in Disarray

[miraja2]

I would bet on the field over Palin, Romney, Jeb, or Huckabee right now. I think Republicans will want somebody "new" for 2012.
Their best strategy figures to be constructing a message that acts as if the world began when Obama took office. The last thing they'll want to do is discuss 2001-2008, and I think primary voters and Republican Party insiders will all figure that a "fresh face" will give them the best chance of pulling that off.

palin has no business even being mentioned as a potential candidate. huckabee imo is no longer a viable candidate with not one, but two, pardoned criminals who went on to commit murder(s). jeb wouldn't get a look if he wasn't a bush. shame about romney is the only 'knock' he seems to have is he's mormon. i don't know much about him, but i'd pick him over the other three.

I agree with you. Better to try an unknown especially with having the precedent of electing a candidate that is very light on credentials like Obama was.

I agree. think they have indeed been looking for an "Obama" type guy - off the radar, young, new, fresh. Jindal was supposed to be that last year, but isn't.
