Who will be on the Republican Presidential ticket for 2012?

I know it's too early to tell, but tell us who you WANT to be on the ticket and who you think WILL be on the ticket.

Who I want to be on the ticket: Huntsman(President) and Gingrich(VP).

Who I think will be on the ticket: Romney(President) and Gingrich(VP).

Of course I want Huntsman to win the nomination because I think he has the best chance of winning the general election, but with his numbers it's looking less and less likely that he'll pull off a primary win.

I think Romney can win the primary, and has a better chance than anybody else at winning the general election. I also think both candidates are going to use Gingrich as their VP because he's a solid conservative, and one of the GOP's most intelligent members.

Combination of Romney, Huntsman and Gingrich. Anyone other than that will have a tough time beating Obama. Though I would like to see Huntsman/Romney ticket. (or vice versa)

I'm still pulling for Romney.

What about for VP?

I think it will be Perry, because the media seems deadset on making him the GOP ticket.

He's certainly been the most covered lately.

I won't argue that, but it seemed like with the debate on MSNBC that that Politico guy was just trying to trap him with every question. Was pretty unprofessional.

He gets the most coverage from most of the popular news outlets from what I've seen. I haven't even heard anything about Gingrich or Huntsman or even Bachmann since Perry has entered the race.

I don't know if that means the media WANTS him to win. MSNBC sure doesn't. Actually, maybe they do with the recent pollings that Americans think he's too extreme.

Perry/Palin 2012 8) "We'll put a boot in yer ass, it's the American way!"fidosim

I can't tell if you're serious. :P

Perry/Palin 2012 8) "We'll put a boot in yer ass, it's the American way!"fidosim

Headline the next day: president with 40% approval wins reelection easily

[spoiler] I hope :P [/spoiler]

Romey/Cain is the only logical choice where they have the biggest CHANCE to win against obama

About Palin, no. About Perry, IDK. I don't share his views on a lot of things but I like his 'mericanism. It would be cool if Romney won the nomination and made Perry his VP. It'd be like Kennedy and Johnson all over again. 8)fidosim

I do also like his swagger.

Ron Paul. I wouldn't vote for any other Republican.

I want Palin and Perry for the Republican ticket (although Bachmann would be my second choice, she would add nothing with Palin as the first choice), but I think the ticket will be Perry and Pawlenty.Genetic_Code

Palin/Bachmann may be a social conservative dream, but it would be an economic nightmare.

Pawlenty dropped out, and given he has very little national name recognition, he wouldn't be a draw for votes.topsemag55

I think he meant Pawlenty as VP.

How about Palin and having herself act as her own VP :P

Seriously though the best shot for my vote would be a Jon Huntsman/Ron Paul ticket. I don't think that will happen though. What I would really prefer is to vote for someone who is a democrat and a stronger negotiater than Obama. I won't get that either though.

Ron Paul. I wouldn't vote for any other Republican.

Same here (at least of the Republicans running).

I'm honestly confused how people support Ron Paul. I respect him in that he's got seemingly more integrity than most US politicians but a lot of his ideas aren't exactly beneficial to 95% of the country.Ace6301

He merely advocates a vastly smaller government. Like, getting rid of FEMA and the Department of Education. Those aren't bad ideas. States are fully capable of coming up with their own disaster response plans and an agency to implement them. Likewise with education. If the federal government wants to help out, how about it gives block grants and let the States choose how they spend the money in those certain areas?

I think it's more distressing that people have an over-reliance on the Federal government and are completely unwilling to think about what a smaller, more efficient government could do.

Probably Perry, Jon Stewart said it best.. Men like Romney and Huntsmen are too brainy to win the Republican primary it seems right now.. Hell look at the freaking GOP debate of recent memory.. The Biggest and wildest applause was about a question on perry executing over 200 more inmates then any other state.. I mean really?sSubZerOo

They were applauding at the way he answered the question, not because of the number of inmates on DEATH ROW.

I like Ron Paul's no nonsense stand when it comes to foreign policy for moral reasons mainly.. But when it comes to anythign domestic, he would have the US government repeal 100 years of government policy.. That is something I don't support.

That's very close-minded. Have you ever thought maybe the cause of some of our problems is too much government?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXB8avpzMyI wrong.. It wasn't his response.. The speaker didn't even finish his question before applause broke out about his record breaking execution rate.

Close minded? Thats exactly what he wants to do, he has said him self that he is against the majoriyt of policies and regulations that built this country.. Good for you, but yet again what he is suggesting isn't the US what makes it bad OR good.. He is too extreme, to me he is hopelessly nieve in believing that the free market is infalleable.. Neither the government nor the private sector are perfect..

Ah I was wrong about the death row bit, but I don't think it's fair to say they were applausing at the fact that they were executed. I have to admit, I was very impressed with the number. He seems like a no nonsense governor.

Yes because having high numbers means he is a good governor :roll: regardless of the fact he has proven to have passed the execution of a INNOCENT man.. Sorry yet again this is why I will not respect the Republican base due to actions like this..
