The Names of the Candidates at the Top of My Short List are there for a reason. I Really Like and Trust their Stated Public Positions on the Important Issues that matter to Me. There may be other Candidates out there interested in running for President in 2012. I'd be happy to take a look at those candidates also. Some of these Candidates on My Short List have NOT even mentioned or have ANY Stated Intentions for running for President at this time but they're on My Short List because I'm following their careers and Like what I'm Seeing.
The Last FIVE Names at the Bottom of My Short List are at the BOTTOM because they are NOT Solid Conservative Candidates but because I Would Still Vote for them over Obama. If I had to. They're only on My Short List because they HAVE Shown Interest in Running for President in 2012. They Don't Excite me a Great Deal but I figuered they'd still be Better than Obama.
Donald Trump and Ron Paul were INTENTIONALLY Left Off My Short List ON PURPOSE! I Will Never Consider them Electable or Competent Enough to be on My Short List. So Sorry IF that Offends You. My List. Make Your Own.
So What do You think? Did I Miss Someone? Should I cross somone(s) out? Let Me know.
Thank You So Much.
