I don't think Palin or Cheney will get it. Cheney won't run (due to age and condition, and I don't think he cares much for politics) and Palin probably will but is too divisive to get the nomination. Palin will be worse than the candidate. She'll be a massive distraction from any real candidates, because the media LOVES to concentrate on her regardless of relevancy.

I see Huckabee as a major contender, and Pawlenty and Romney as strong contenders. I'll also expect to see some young Senators coming out of the woodwork with Obama dispelling the myth that Senators aren't realistic presidential candidates due to their long voting records.

And Game: If your last post was intended for me, you're still set to ignore, so don't bother. I only posted on this thread because I could see the title and I thought a Republican's point of view on the situation might be enlightening. And isn't it nice that we've avoided our usual ridiculous arguments? (yes, that question is rhetorical)
