Shalom Chaim,
This is a bit of a spinoff of your Huckabee poll, because much of what I am going to address here was discussed in it in a roundabout way, but I'd like to see your responses here to my analyses of each possibility listed. We have to be aware that the media is going to start, right now, doing whatever it takes to get the weakest GOP candidate nominated so that Barack Hitler Osama will have as much of a cakewalk as possible. They will find ways to start hyping the worst Republicans imaginable. (To that end, please note that I didn't list Fred Thompson here, as I agree with you that he simply isn't a viable candidate for even dogcatcher.)
With that intro out of the way, here is my list.
John McCain: Fresh off a resounding primary and general election win for his Senate seat, McCain has some momentum and, it could even be argued, is at the apogee of his much-too-long political career. The media could easily paint him as having "triumphantly" bounced back from his 2008 loss. He still has an amazingly strong background and if Arizona voters were insane enough to choose him over the real conservative J.D. Hayworth because that tramp Sarah Palin told them to, there's no reason why the nation's Republican voters wouldn't be insane enough to nominate his senile, worthless tuchis again.
Fag Buchanus: A bit of a longshot but the recent successes the Paul family has had might inspire him. Like it or not, he still has a reputation as being a fatherly figure of the conservative movement and most establishment politicians, to varying degrees, kiss his tuchis. If the economy gets really bad, latently anti-Semitic voters might gobble up his neverending Jew-bashing. If Sarah Palin endorses him, then we're in real trouble.
Sarah Palin: We have all discussed this phony whore ad nauseum, so no real introduction is needed. Of course this idiot is utterly unelectable, but we need to face the fact that at this point she still has a huge cult following, and probably the biggest individual following of any GOP potential candidate right now. Her asinine endorsements had quite a bit of sway this year, and we are making a grave mistake if we conclude that she is not dangerous to us. Even if she does not win the GOP primary, she could divide up the conservative vote enough so that another McCain-type gets the nomination.
Newt Gingrich: Like Buchanan, another slimeball who unfortunately still commands some respect in conservative circles. This filthy pig supports pornography and divorced his childhood sweetheart when she was fighting breast cancer. He is utterly unelectable (he was extremely unpopular with the general public even at his political peak in the 1990s), but like Palin, could divide the conservative vote enough so that we get another loser as our nominee.
Ron/Rand Paul: These two Buchanan clones unfortunately have a lot of momentum on their side. Ron Paul might be too old to run again but I would not put it past the media to start hyping up freshman senator Rand as a GOP candidate coming off of his Senate win in KY. If Barack Shitler Osama was "qualified" to be president serving half of one Senate term, then Rand Paul will be as well. If Rand is the GOP nominee, the NWO establishment wins either way: a--he is probably too nutty and insane to beat BHO, and b--if he does, he is an Israel-hating Nazi just like Osama is.
Michelle Bachman: This Sarah Palin clone, who supports Fag Buchanus, is seen by many as a rising star in the GOP and the media might decide to make her its favorite daughter. Otherwise, all the same commentary as for Palin applies to her as well.
Pruneface: This human cockroach supported the RINO John McCain in 2008, so what would stop him from deciding to become a full-fledged RINO himself and trying to get the GOP nomination? The media would adore him and sadly, he has a reputation as a moderate/conservative (even though he's probably to the left of Barack Hussein Osama). He is widely respected among Republicans and I suspect that more than a few Republican idiots would back him as gratitude for him supporting McCain.
