I'm not a big fan of Scott Walker, but would be okay with him compared to others. I literally know nothing about Carson other than what's in this thread.

Jindal is a joke. He puts himself first and the people who elected him last to further his political carrier. In my opinion, president should be an older, wiser man and not some new young punk.

I picked zombie Roosevelt. Unfortunetly he would probably go hungry in Washington D.C., but would still be a better lead then most politicians out there.

He'd be way out of touch. I'll bet he wouldn't even know what the internet is. Old fogey.
Bollocks.

You're right he would go hungry as there are no brains to eat in Washington!

We all know over 50% of all new jobs over the last 4-5 years has come from Texas, but 8% of the rest of the country's job growth has been in Wisconsin, and that's saying a lot for a state with under 6 million people. And they are real jobs that pay for themselves, not the kind that has to be directly subsidized with tax dollars and produces no intrinsic value. And he has executive experience and has influenced a solid blue state probably more than Chris Christie even. Not to mention surviving a nationwide funded recall , and that is a huge part of the job requirement as well. Dang I like him even more now.

If I could vote in the Republican primary (which I can't) and if the Republican primary was right now (which it's not), I'd vote for Rand Paul. I'm fairly convinced he will not win the nomination though.

Obama won't be running, so why should that matter?
I went with Jeb (can never have too many Bushes!), Rubio and Jindal (minority ftw?) as my picks. Other than that, way too soon for me to be making selections.
Bollocks.
I didn't see Jeff, Jack, or Steve Hanson so I went with Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, and Susan Martinez.
Although it would be great to watch a Biden vs. Jindal matchup to see Joey walk back his 7-Eleven gaffe.

Are you registered Independent? Or do you have a Caucus?
I think Rand Paul has a good shot, far better shot than his father for sure.

Registered Libertarian. I also think Paul has a good shot, depending upon the Republican bigwigs' reactions to his stance on things like defense spending.

I am a registered Republican but only so I can caucus for the smallest government Republican. My guy never makes it so I always end up voting for the Libertarian. I have to admit I don't know a lot about most of the people on the list (enough to be dangerous) but right now If I had to I could feel comfortable caucusing for Paul or Cruz...but that could change when I look a bit closer at them.

Will be interesting to see if they push Jeb Bush to get that 15% Latino vote. More than likely thou it will be his son George Bush in another 8 years to make it 3 generations of Bush in the White House.

Paul, McConnell help announce new hemp projects in Kentucky
Kentucky’s Republican senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, were responsible for the language, which paved the way for their state’s agriculture department to announce Monday that it planned five pilot projects to grow the crop throughout the state. They appeared with state Agriculture Commissioner James Comer to announce five pilot projects today, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
The projects are part of a larger effort to boost farming in the Appalachia region of Eastern Kentucky, which was decimated throughout the 20th century as people turned to coal mining and other factory jobs in the area.
Comer announced a variety of projects Monday that will support veterans who turn to farming, research hemp for fiber and its ability to remove environmental toxins, and grow cannabinoids for medical research.
Hemp has been banned in Kentucky since 1970 and was only brought back by the farm bill this year. According to an op-ed Paul authored for the Herald-Leader, Kentucky used to produce 94 percent of the nation’s industrial hemp until it was classified as a controlled substance like marijuana after World War II. “Today, the United States is the only industrialized nation that restricts the production of industrial hemp. Despite the ban, millions of dollars in hemp products are sold in this country each year. One estimate says the national market for hemp products is more than $400 million. This means U.S. manufacturers must import millions of dollars in industrial hemp from foreign countries,” Paul wrote.”And it means that here in Kentucky — where we have an ideal climate for growing industrial hemp and a long history as a successful producer — our agricultural industry hasn't been able to take advantage of the jobs and opportunities that could be realized by the growth of hemp.”
Paul wrote that it was “a thrill” to break through on the issue of industrial hemp.
