Nah, the edit feature would never be abused here.

No matter how much I love Palin

You really shouldn’t spend all your time at KOS

For smart guys, my money’s on Jindal big time.

Romney is all about Romney. Not an attractive quality. He was non-existent in the Red Zone when we needed him. Thanks a much, jerk.

If I were to begin to weigh the options, I would probably look to competent governors who’ve had the time to think about national issues and has shown they can articulate them well. Palin is a work in progress as of now, but could be dangerously persuasive if she obtains the gravitas necessary to compete at the national level. My hunch tells me it will be someone who has out performed the national party consistently in the last couple of elections, is operating in a swing state (or a bluish state), and is, naturally, extremely popular and respected. Jindal should wait several years at least before running for president; he should run for reelection in 2011 in LA, and then in 2016 or 2020 run for president. He should use the intervening years to cultivate relations with those in the party’s hierarchy as well as in the MSM (Reagan was well known by everyone in Washington and open to the media in multiple ways, so he had time to craft his own narrative years before he ran for president). He can have certain positions of his “evolve”, if you will, to be more palatable to the general public and to the all important median voter (evolve pun most definitely intended).

Oh dear. I just realized that, in a post castigating others over the over speculation of the the next election, I spent the majority of my time speculating about the next election. Que sera sera…
