Who Will The Republicans Look to in 2012

[Wall St. Wiz]

It's going to be Jindal, he is the total package.  The GOP is going to want their own version of Obama (young, attractive, intelligent, good speaker/debater, great story, hard core partisan who presents himself as a moderate).

Jindal today has a much better resume then Obama.  With another 4 years as governor he will be deadly.  The day after the election start watching him very closely, as that is when the 2012 campaign begins.

As much as I like Palin I hope she doesn't run in 2012.  Her image has been tarnished too badly this election.  I do think that she's enjoying the national spotlight and she won't want to stay as Alaska governor for too long.  I see a Fox News or talk radio show in her future.

It's time for a new generation of Republican candidates.  Jindal, Pence, Thune (though I'm not a huge fan).  I don't think he has the charisma but I was seriously impressed by Pawlenty when he was auditioning for veep.  The guy is a great debater and can speak on basically any issue.
