If Rick Perry decides to run, he will be a favorite. For all his shortcomings, he would have good national appeal. It's hard to argue with our economy (housing, unemployment) compared to the rest of the country. Should a governor get some credit? Sure. He's also gone head-to-head with Barry on several issues, and comes across as a hard-ass when dealing with Washington.

Out of that list I like Bachman the most but Jon Huntsman has the best shot of winning. He was an Obama appointee, after working for Reagan and Bush. The democrats can't bash him on anything without the GOP throwing the ambassadorship back at them. Unfortunately he's very moderate, which is good for winning elections but stinks when you are fighting hard core liberals. Travis Pastrana even came out this weekend in support for him, as a fellow motox rider. When the biggest name in extreme sports, who also happens to race Nascar puts your name out there people pay attention.
We don't need a moderate, we need Bachman or Paul.
Bachmann makes me really nervous. Her social conscience far supersedes the economic panic she should be in.

I can't get behind Bachmann for two main reasons.
1.) Her facts are wrong in many of her speeches. Either she is letting her passion run through her thoughts and is absent of the ability to filter it properly, or she is an idiot savant who should never be allowed to handle foreign policy.
2.) Her husband.
I wish Ron Paul could get the media coverage he deserves. He needs to be our President.
I'm still looking into Huntsman. He is a very intelligent, civil man. He has foreign policy experience.

She's good for the party, because she's not afraid to say anything, but probably not presidential material.

Hunstman is a RINO. He was appointed by Obama. He is basically trying to give a nice slant to politics and is wanting to reach out to the left, who in their own right refuse to reach back across and continue to run further to the left. It's ok for them to be fringe, but if a conservative does it then they are cast as a nut (ie - Ron Paul).

Christie does need to lose some weight to help his credibility on certain issues. The time for fatasses being prez was over about 70 years ago.
