We all know the Dems. are going to give the nomination to Obama, even if he turns out to be a rather bad President (e.g. Carter Part 2), so what about the Republicans? You have the current star of the party, Gov. Sarah Palin, along with Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and the "other Obama" ala Gov. Bobby Jindal. Huckabee and Romney are there as well, but the three mentioned before seem to be the most big three. This is because Romney will face the "oh here we go again..." people, and Huckabee has a great show on Fox News that he may not be willing to give up.
So what of these three? Well, personally, I'm seeing a battle between Palin and Jindal, and one that is going to rival the battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Now, I'm all for Palin, I even have been trying to get ahold of those nifty "PALIN 2012" signs, but Bobby is just as good! Don't forget, Clinton was a shoe-in for the Dem. nomination, and we saw what happened to her! The same could very well happen to Palin should both of them run.
Now let's just say Palin wins. Who would be the VP pick? It would come down to Romney (again), Pawlenty, Jindal, and Rice. Now, with the last one, I know you all just hit the floor going "are you insane?!" Hear me out. A Palin-Rice ticket would most liekly do very well, even if Obama doesn't turn out to be disaterous. Palin is great with energy, and people tend to connect with her. She also has executive experience. Rice is Secretary of State under President Bush, and has Foreign Policy cred. She, like Palin, won't take crap from anybody as well. Not only that, but, let's face it, the fact that she is black may very well dig into the votes Obama would get, and the fact that it is two women on a ticket is historic.
So, who would you like to see as President-Vice President in 2012? Check your answer in the new poll!
