Of the possible people who could become president (this is not "OMG they would never win thing") and who would be the best candidate to run against them in 2012 as of now:

I say:

Rudy Giuliani - Gov. Brad Henry (conservative southerner)
John McCain - Gov. Chet Culver (moderate midwesterner)
Mitt Romney - Gov. Phil Bressden (conservative deep southerner)
Fred Thompson - Gov. Bill Ritter (conservative midwesterner)
Mike Huckabee - Gov. John Lynch (liberal northeasterner)

Hillary Clinton - Rep. Mike Pence (conservative midwesterner)
Barack Obama - Fmr. Gov. Bill Owens
Anyone else Bobby Jindal

Bobby Jindal will never win a nation-wide election. He is way, way too far-right.

Fmr. Gov. Sanford is likely to be much touted in 2012 for the GOP, especially if they return to emphasizing small government again.  Depending on how much pf a Democratic spending binge there is to cause a backlash, he might even be the best candidate for the GOP in the General Election that year.

I hope so. Somehow, I doubt that we will be withdrawing from Iraq and decreasing domestic spending until 2013, at the least.

Wouldn't running Jindal against Obama be the worst decision?  It would probably seem really token

Don't you know that the top 2 baseball players for lifetime home runs are token players who only got those runs because they're black?
