maybe if Sarah Heath becomes senator first.. it might be an interesting matchup
nobody is promoting Bobby Jindal yet, but he might be interesting as well... being south asian and 'conservative' Rep

In all seriousness, the GOP is still years away from nominating a woman in a Presidential primary. Let's be honest, Palin was only selected because they thought it'd be cute to appeal to disaffected female Clinton voters. Olympia Snowe, as a moderate female from the NE, stands no chance.

Texas's Kay Bailey Hutchison might have a chance among the GOP, despite her pro-choice stance, if Republicans get their tail whipped enough that out of desperation they are forced to become more pragmatic than divisive.

Romney/Jindal will win 2012, 2012-2020 will be prosperous for Americans once again.
Obama and the Republicans bailing out on the House and Senate is a stepping stone, live to fight another day.

Kay Bailey is actually a good pick. She's well-liked here and has a reasonable abortion stance, and is not a hardliner conservative on many social issues.

But she's being kicked around for Governor in 2010 so I don't think she'll be going for the higher office.

Lou Dobbs is AWESOME -- he's an Independent, not a Republican.

bobby jindal would be a great pick.

watching leftists squirm as they experience the joy of being considered a 'racist' just because they disagree with someone who has darker skin than they do would be a pleasant bonus.
