amazing, it seems that Rand Paul is attracting support from all sides of this board. Not that we have any say so or are representative of the country, but it is still interesting.
I voted other. I was formerly a supporter of Christie, but I'm deeply unimpressed with how he handled the GWB mess, along with Tesla and e-cigarettes.
I was a fan of Governor Christie until his embrace of Obama after Sandy. After that, and Romney's loss, I said no way to Christie for 2016. Then I saw his poll numbers and his victory in NJ. Everyone in politics is in it for themselves. I hate it, but I can ignore that. As far as Tesla and e-cigarettes, while I disagree, these are minor issues. As far as the GWB situation, again, politicians are in it for themselves and we've seen far worse from others. If he can recover, I'll support him. He'd put states in play that no other candidate on the radar now would if he could fully recover.
You left off Marco Rubio. I think Scott Walker is much more likely than Scott Brown to run in 2016. I would be happy with any from the list of Cruz, Paul, Rubio, Jindal, or Ryan.
Each has their particular strengths. Cruz to me is Reagan 2.0, so that is my predilection right now. Rubio is the best speaker and best communicator. Rand Paul is the best on fundamental freedoms, which is something we desperately need. Jindal is the smartest, sharpest, and hardest-working, has a background in health care, and is strong on school choice. Ryan is best on the budget and the debt.
We have a lot of good choices.
And you do know this all goes out of the window when the primaries start, right?
My problem is that none of these people are better than Clinton, which is sad. The Democrats offer up another poopoo platter and this is the best?
Christie was your best bet but he seems like he doesn't deal well with public scrutiny.
Cruz is too polarizing to be on the national stage.
Ryan still has the stench of Romney on him and got embarrassed by Joe Biden of all people.

Marco Rubio is ok.
Rand Paul is not his father.
Jindal is not charismatic in the least bit.
But definitely not Cruz or Paul.
I would just run Hunstman.
and why Huntsman? He isn't charismatic at all and he has his connection with Obama, which is a lot worse than Ryan's connection with Romney: as for Rand Paul, why do you think he is gaining in popularity? He is not his father. He has something his dad just didn't have. I am not sure what it is, but he is much more electable.
you say ron paul yet you admitted voting for the establishment gop candidate multiple times.
you vote for whoever the gop tells you to vote for in the end.
So? You vote for whoever has the most melanin.
