Who Will The Republicans Look to in 2012

I'm going to be different and say Dino Rossi. Well, if he manages to beat Gregoire that is. If not then forget about him.

Is Dino a first tier brain? Does he have the right stuff for the major leagues?  Just asking.

I don't know. Gregoire's campaigns have been pretty awful. Still, WA Governor is the only possible major pick-up (Governor and Senator) the Republicans could have this year. If Rossi wins I fail to see how he won't be noticed because of this.

I'll also say he's good at appealing to formerly Republican suburbs that have been trending Democrat recently, while still making far right-wingers happy. The Republicans already don't have a chance in the cities, and if McCain loses a lot of traditionally Republican suburbs to Obama, this will be another factor the GOP will want to consider.

I am going to agree with bgwah and say Rossi. He has a good shot of winning

I just hope that it doesn't look like McCain is getting hammered because many Republican voters may stay home in WA.

Ha! No way. They love Rossi more than McCain. Way more. If anything McCain will get reverse coattails from Rossi.

He's talking about Dino Rossi. Hell, we were talking about it in this very thread. Sheesh.
