To those on the conservative side of the political spectrum: Whom do you favor for the Republican nomination. To provide some structure, I'll steal Larry Sabato's recent classification into three categories (see [view link]):
1st Tier: Yin and Yang Frontrunners -- Trump, Carson
2nd TIer: Most Plausible, Semi-Traditional Candidates -- Senators Cruz & Rubio; Governors Bush & Kasich; Fiorina
3rd TIer: Daydream Believers -- Senators Paul, Graham; & Santorum; Governors Christie, Huckabee, Jindal, Pataki, & Gilmore
I'll start: I *love* Carson and *loathe* Trump and Christie. In my heart I'm a Rand Paul fan, but he has run a very disappointing, low-energy campaign and won't last much longer. I'm hoping that Cruz or Rubio will win the nomination. However, I think the GOP's strongest ticket would be Kasich-Rubio: the boring but respectable old guy who was re-elected governor of Ohio in 2012, winning all but 2 counties while Obama carried the state, and the articulate, telegenic young Latino with a fascinating life story.
One more thing: I find it fascinating that JS69. our own insatiable pothead and stripper hound, is a Carson fan. John, you should start your own PAC: "Pot-Smoking Stripper-Fuckers for the Seventh-Day Adventist Guy" Only in America :)
