Newt has imploded.
Perry is flirting.
Bachmann is lurking.
Palin is coy.
With Newt's implosion, people seem to be thinking that Texas Governor Rick Perry might jump into the race and it wouldn't surprise me if he does. Whether the country can stomach another four to eight years of a Texan in the White House, even if his last name isn't Bush is quite another matter. But the sustained economic growth that Texas has been seeing, even in this recession is a powerful argument to fling against Obama in the election.
My personal dark horse in all of this isn't Tim Pawlenty, but Michelle Bachmann. Sure, she's from the crazy wing of the Republican Party, but she works her behind off and raises money like crazy and doesn't seem (at least right now) to want to get into a never ending pissing match with or whine about the media. All of which makes her more appealing that Sarah Palin. If Bachmann catches, the rest of 'em had better watch out.
