If Palin wants it, and she does, who could stop her from the Iowa Caucus in '12?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Rudy has joinrudy2012 already purchased. I don't know if he runs again, but if he does, he better hope the primary orders are changed so some state like Florida or New Jersey is the first to vote rather than Iowa. I wouldn't support Palin if she ran because I think she's in way over her head now. She's been vilified in the media, which is pretty unfair, but she's not ready for prime time. I bet she could win Iowa, but other than that, I doubt she is nominated unless our field is pretty bad in 2012.

Even though Huckabee has his own TV show and it seems like he is about to go a route as a political commentator, I'd love to see Huckabee vs Rudy

I really like Huckabee, and even though he's a populist and a social conservative, I'd be tempted to support him just because I feel so connected to him when he speaks. He is the best speaker the GOP has had since Reagan. But he's a big government guy, and goes against my beliefs. A Rudy v. Huckabee race would be interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised if neither of them run in 2012. Rudy did register his website and is still taking donation and Huckabee founded HuckPAC, but it's not clear that either wants to run.

In fact, Huckabee is the man that brought brought me into The GOP. He is a good speech writer and leader.

He does have a base following that enabled him to win a few states during the primary season despite low cash on hand. His entire campaign was amazing in that he did it with barely any money at all. But his base is not that big as the populist movement within the GOP isn't that large.
