Perhaps Daniels.. Christie could beat him, but he won't run. Palin is tainted by the media more than anything substantive she has said or done herself. That's more reflective of their fear than anything. Sadly, it seems to have taken root in the public consciousness. Pawlenty still has his backers.. I'm not real familiar with the guy. The point being that Obongo has really dissed his base. This guy was supposed to be the second coming of FDR and he's really been nothing more than a stooge for special interests. They see that and the scales have fallen from their eyes.
