In light of the recent election and susequent dissappointment garnered by the obama victory I have had to come to terms with certain facts about my troubled Republican party. First of all many of its members are stuck in the past looking for the glorious return of Ronald Reagan. He is gone, never to return, lets move on. The principles he espoused were conservative values, not Reagan values.
Secondly its nominees, when not stuck in a defeatist infighting i.e. Huck/Romney seemed to be out of touch or too afraid to be conservative. In other words incapable of winning. Which brings me to the point of this blog, who will the Republican party nominate in 2012? Now I know we are over three years away from the next convention however it gives a little solace to look ahead, so lets take a gander at some potential nominees:
1. Mike Huckabee; Not a chance at the nomination due to infighting with other candidates. Hard to win without half of the party no matter how skillful a politician, debater and campaigner you may be.
2. Mitt Romney; See Mike Huckabee and his flips are just to near and to convenient.
3. Sarah Palin; Love her but i believe she is still to hokey for the time being and can not garner enough support across the board. Will get second in primary delegates.
4. Rudy Giulianni; Only If this guy could flip on a couple issues he would have been and would be the toughest candidate to run against. He sure can explain an issue and smile while doing it.
5. John McCain; No more my freinds, no more.
6. Bobby Jindal; V.P. selection
7. Which brings me to the point of this blog.....
General David Howell Petraeus. If President Obama has any slips or looks weak in the slightest this is how we take it all back. Quick and efficient. Let me restate it: General David Howell Petraeus.
