I'd sort of like Ron Paul to get the nomination- partly for the sheer novelty; partly because he might spark a return to fashion for old, experienced and 'wise' leaders; and partly in the hope that he might make Rand Paul his VP, further adding to the novelty. And it'd be interesting to see how he'd do in office too.

Actually, Romney is pretty much hated by more than half of the GOP elite and base.

His nomination would ensure Democratic victory in nearly every state outside the deep south.

The first rule of Republican politics is that the Party cannot possibly nominate anyone any Democrat could ever vote for.

Bachmann is a old cunt, hopefully the rest of the GOP will pick up on that.

Tim Pawlenty just said that people who make $50,000 or less pay 15% in taxes and people who make $51,000 and more pay 25% in taxes and the corporate tax rate will 20%. And We also need entitlement reform and a smaller government.

Ron Paul, without a doubt. I think it's fairly unlikely he'll win, but I'll try as hard as I can.
Economic Left/Right: 3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.33
