Of the people who are actually running, I think that Romney, the frontrunner, has essentially eliminated himself by refusing to renounce Romneycare-I don’t see how he can win GOP primaries. Since Huck, Trump and Palin won’t run, and Paul is too libertarian to win, that essentially leaves one guy starting with name recognition, Newt, one Tea Party favorite, Bachmann, and three relative unknowns with solid gubernatorial credentials, Pawlenty and Daniels and Huntsman, if they run. Newt is so unlikeable, and Bachmann is so extreme, I would expect the nominee to be Pawlenty or one of the other two.
