re: #229 HappyWarrior

I think the exp committees is the issue. Using process of elimination, I don’t think it’s the PAC issue since as pointed out already Palin has had Sarah PAC and even recently appointed a chief of staff for it. Didn’t know Santorum established an exploratory committee though. Is it just me though but there really doesn’t seem to be much diversity amongst the candidates. Like in 2008 you had an interesting mix: Giuliani (social moderate-liberal, econ conservative, foreign policy hawk), McCain(moderate conservative), Huckabee(so con), Romney (business con), Paul (Whatever he really is), and others. Just seems to be a bunch of hardcore so cons other than Romney and Romney has been trying to convince him that he’s one of them ever since his change of mind on abortion and gay rights.

It’s still early. I’ve heard rumors that Rudy’s contemplating another run, along with Romney. Paul’s a definite run, considering the supposed power that his branch of the Tea Party has got going, but you can could McCain out. Another rumor going around is that Jon Huntsman will seek the nomination, with the few pundits I’ve heard talking about him saying he has a strong chance, but is going to have an interesting time explaining why he was willing to work for Obama before he sought to replace the guy.
