From my point of view, the viables are Romney, Perry, Cain, and Bachmann. Palin’s running a stealth campaign but I think she’s outmaneuvered by Perry and Bachmann. The other candidates that are officially in are not only being outdone by Ron Paul but they’re essentially pale reflections of those four.

I could be wrong, but that’s how I see it shaping up between now and January.

Out of those, I feel that only Romney and Perry have the actual necessary skills to get through the whole thing…not saying too many insanely weird things on the campaign trail, saying coherent things about fiscal and foreign policy, not referring to Obama as ‘the Usurper’ in public…maybe I underestimate Cain and Bachmann, but I don’t think so.
