I'd say Bobby Jindal or Sarah Palin.  If they pitt Romney or Huckabee up against President Obama, they cannot win.

Assuming a McCain loss...

I'm guessing Palin/Jindal.  (Palin as prez.)

She has 4 years to build a resume in AK, as does Jindal in LA.  They will run against Pelosi/Reid and the Obama who would not break from his own party on certain issues (spending, taxes).  They will be on best behavior for 4 years; the Troopergate mess is already over with.

I'd say Bobby Jindal or Sarah Palin.

I repeat:

Why do people think Jindal is going to run in 2012?  He'll only be 41 years old, and have the one term as governor.  Wouldn't it make a lot more sense for him to wait until 2016 or later?  Yes, yes, I know Obama ran in 2008 with just 4 years worth of experience in the Senate, but that was an unusual case, and Obama didn't have to give up his Senate seat to do it.

In Jindal's case, he'd probably have to give up on reelection if he wants to run for president, since the Louisiana governors' race is in Nov. 2011, while the 2012 presidential primaries will begin in Jan. 2012.  It would seem to be kind of impractical to be campaigning in Louisiana for governor while simultaneously campaigning in Iowa for president.


That tells me it's more likely he'll be a VP option.  I think the RP has to take a long, long look at him.

If nothing else, it's a brown guy on the ticket.  Innoculates the party a bit.

(Not saying race/ethnicity should be relevant.  Only acknowledging that it is.)
