Well, I wanted to wait until August before doing another one of these, but the landscape is shifting by the day in the race for the Republican Nomination:
Mitch Daniels is a no-go.
Herman Cain is officially in. Tim Pawlenty is expected to follow suit.
Michelle Bachmann might jump in later this week and Sarah Palin has mentioned 'fire in her belly' and is apparently buying a house in Arizona, two things potentially indicative of a Presidential run.
This is fascinating. (I'm probably going to be saying that a lot, so bear with me.) Usually Republicans are quite orderly and like to pick a horse early on and stick with said horse all the way through the perfectly managed Convention followed by the general election. They're usually a paragon of efficiency about it but the problem is that they have no horse to pick yet. So it's quite fascinating.
(Look for buzz to grow about Chris Christie and Rick Perry- neither of them have even expressed an interest, but Mitch Daniels has left a huge hole in the race that either one of them could be drafted to fill.)
