Off topic: 'True Strength For America's Future' has to be the most generic, meaningless slogan ever.

Anyway, the first thing to pop into my head was Pawlenty, given how he appeals to 'moderate' Republicans and evangelicals. But he lacks name recognition and charisma so probably not. The Republicans are seriously lacking in terms of candidates in general.

Over Yes We Can, Let's Make America Great Again, and the like?

Those have clear meanings and are easily remembered. 'Yes We Can' communicates a feeling of being able to accomplish anything and optimism. 'Let's Make America Great Again' or 'Morning In America' are self-explanatory. Hell even 'I Like Ike' has some value in a commercial jingle type way. 'True Strength For America's Future' is borderline incoherent and forgettable, at best it implies the other candidates are weak people and only if you sit and think for a moment.

Ah good, you can admit that. It's nice seeing someone with a little objectivity left on this site about their candidate.

[Mint]

Thune would help with the evangelicals but not much else.

[Mint]

Thune is a porker who voted for the bail outs and similar nonsense, that and he has a reputation as not too bright. I don't see him playing well either in the current climate.

I think we can ditch talk of Peter Schiff, though.

I have a gut feeling you'll be laughing about having said that a few years down the line...

[Mint]

Oh I don't think he'll get the nomination in CT, I just think given his money and growing reputation he could be a serious contender 4-6 years from now. Think Ross Perot in early/mid '92. Also some polls have Paul leading Grayson by as much as 44% to 25% now, granted that's with about 32% undecided.
