Something that I see happening is that after four years of a President Barack Obama, an angry GOP base I think will want someone "pure" who they don't have have any major doubts about. So I don't think Romney or Huckabee would really benefit from such a scenario.

With that said, John Thune seems like somebody who would fit that profile.

The possibility of Tim Pawlenty have piqued my interest, though I'm not sure about his chances.

Given the history of losing VP candidates being nominated four years after their initial defeat, Sarah Palin would be well-advised to sit out 2012, to allow chance for his image to heal.

I'm with the consensus that Bobby Jindal is someone who could be a serious contender down the line, but I would also agree that unless Obama looks beatable he probably wont run. And given his age, he can afford to wait.

At the moment, I guess I would say Thune, with Pawlenty maybe having an outside chance.
