Obama might be very formidable, but not invincible. Again, if the debt crisis implodes before the election (which I think will kick off a major recession, worse than 2008), then Obama couldn't win even if the GOP nominated #^&#^&#^&#^& Cheney in 2012.

There are some impressive conservatives out there (Pawlenty, Jindal, Romney (who I don't like), Mike Pence, Gingrich who I think would be the best choice but likely not electable, Indiana Gov Daniels.

We need someone who won't be afraid to attack him in a debate. McCain could never figure out how to do it, he was way too cordial, and he let Obama land all the blows. We need someone who won't be afraid of being called a racist on MSNBC for challenging the Messiah.

And the most important republican politician in the nation right now is the newly elected senator from Florida, Marco Rubio. The way the demographics are trending, the GOP simply cannot survive in this nation without getting more of the Hispanic vote (the black vote is a lost cause), and Rubio is their ticket into that base. He will be the VP pick in 2012, unless something major happens between now and then.

If Marco Rubio can convince Hispanics of the obvious truth that conservative ideas are a better ticket to prosperity, watch how fast the Democrats change their tune on illegal immigration. In the next nanosecond, they'll deport everyone in sight.
