The Race Begins for 2012

Who is ready to be in the starting block?

Since the Sputnik Moment speech is finally done, aren't we looking to begin the big race for a GOP presidential candidate for  2012? Too soon? Heck no! Looks like frontrunners are Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and maybe Newt Gingrich. Many of the hopeful are looking to Christ Christie to jump into the fray, but that is unlikely. Tim Pawlenty looks like he is interested in running, but suffers from lack of name recognition for now. And then there's Sarah Palin. I actually saw a picture of her drawn up as some sort of SuperWoman a couple of days ago. I think the way she makes progressives and the media go high and to the right is all we need from her. If she runs for the 2012 nomination she'll squander the best thing she can do for Tea Party types and the GOP, which is raise cash and support candidates. I expect Rick Perry, three time elected Governor of Texas to be in the fray of it all as well. Think of that for a second. He is in a growing state with considerable experience in just the things America needs right now. Of course, I love the great state of Tejas, having grown up there. Who knows who might come out of the woodwork to lift the tide for us all. As for me, the time now is for prayer, and that's no joke. Alright, get your running shoes, it's time!
