President Obama versus Ron Paul versus Mitt Romney versus Sarah Palin
Considering the fact that the 2012 election for the Presidency is just over a year from now, itÕs the perfect time to consider the ever-changing field of likely Conservative Candidates who will try and defeat President Obama.
Mitt Romney looks like a favorite for the 2012 election . A former popular Massachusetts governor and 08 candidate for President, Mitt Romney at the age of 63 is still youthful, intelligent, and brings an outstanding track record to the table. As far as the downside, his Mormon faith and also the Massachusetts health care law (which is akin to President Obama's unpopular health reform bill that just passed) might turn off enough voters away from Romney and to President ObamaÕs side.
Sarah Palin burst on the GOP scene during the last presidential cycle, and although she successfully animated the GOP base, she also made a whole variety of now famous gaffes. Unfortunately for the McCain campaign, these gaffes are tough to forget or to marginalize, and much like Dan Quayle twenty years earlier, Sarah Palin found herself branded, perhaps unfairly, for being stupid and not at all of a Presidential caliber. The fact that she quit her Alaska GovernorÕs job halfway through her term also doesnÕt say much to voters about her dedication to holding and performing the duties of a higher office. Overall, that sheÕll make a run for the 2012 election cycle seems less and less likely.
Mike Huckabee is one other popular prospective candidate for this 2012 election. This former AR governor and yet another 2008 candidate that did not make the cut, Huckabee was the GOP frontrunner for some time over the course of the 2008 campaign, without same huge contributors that benefitted other candidates. The host of a show on FOX News, Huckabee remains loved by the GOP base and has also demonstrated his capacity to run a highly effective campaign. Successful fundraising will be the key for the Huckabee Presidential run.
Newt Gingrich is a huge GOP mainstay for upwards of 2 decades, most notably during his time as Speaker of The House. Seen as a brilliant and visionary mind, Gingrich's personal life continues to be marred by a few failed marriages in addition to his polarizing status among the American population at large. However, Newt Gingrich is a great at drumming up the base and although he has never made a run for President, his candidacy is certainly looking more and more of a sure bet.
Ron Paul, now 75, would wind up being oldest of all of the likely 2012 election candidates, but he also has experience in the arena, having made a run at the presidency twice before, once as a Libertarian in 1988 and next as a Republican in 2008. Unfortunately, a few of Ron Paul's views arenÕt at all palatable for moderate Republicans. On top of that, some of his supporters are so rabid and active that they are more intimidating than helpful to the campaign.
It is still too early to tell who will emerge and become the right-wing selection for the 2012 election. Still, it will prove to be an appealing election season without a doubt.
