I think Rubio is most likely, but I think I would take the field over Rubio. Something just tells me that he is going to fall out of this frontrunner status for one reason or another.
I would like to say it is going to be Christie, because he is probably the GOP's best shot at the White House, but he is not conservative enough for the primary voters. Romney had the benefit of some Democrats voting in the Republican primaries, since the Dem. primary was a given. Christie shouldn't have that luxury. The base doesn't look like its too willing to move left, so that rules out Christie.
Paul is too libertarian for the ones controlling the money.
I really think the candidate will end up being one of the much less currently talked about possibilities (not any of the 2012 candidates, Bush, Ryan, etc.). Voters might not want a candidate who has been a face of the GOP through such an unpopular time for the party. Look for someone like Thune, Walker, Portman, or Kasich to come in as a "fresh face".
