One party vote. No parties involved. Just individuals.

My first choice now would be Scott Walker.

Out of the choices you listed, all would be an improvement over Obama except for possibly Warren.

I suppose I would go with Romney again out of your list, but I am open to Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson.

Yeah Walker, Paul, Jindal, Martinez, and Webb should have been on the list.

I have thought about posting a comprehensive list and poll, but as of now we just don't know who wants it, so does it really matter?

We will find out in the next 6 months. My favorites are Cruz, Walker, Rubio, and Martinez. Carson could run past them all and sweep me off of my feet.

If I might ask, what exactly is the conservative beef with Warren (at least more specific than she's a 'leftist', 'commie', yada-yada)?

She helped establish the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has consistently fought for the shrinking middle class who rightfully believe "the system is rigged", while suggesting that the rich should pay more taxes (egads!), and she's hammered banks and so-called 'regulators' when no one else would. Also horror of horrors, she pushed for students to be able to take out government education loans at the same rate that banks like Goldmann Sachs enjoy! But perhaps her biggest 'sin' was publicly outing the recent Wall Street budget giveaway that virtually guts Dodd-Frank (you know, the banking limits specifically designed to prevent another Great Recession)?! So what's not to like (other than she's smart, female and a very persuasive Lib-rul)?!

I don't get it either.

Ron Paul and her would make a great team.

...

You explained it with the last word of your post. She's a liberal, or as you misspelled it, 'Lib-rul.'

Ted Cruz is smart (deemed by a Harvard law prof as one of his brightest students ever), is a male, and has consistently fought for shrinking liberty. Would I expect you to support him? No, he's a conservative. It's as simple as that.
