Which person do you want to be the republican candidate?

[IrishEyes]

Of course, I want Obama to win in a land side against the republican nominee. I'm just curious if anyone has an opinion on which candidate they would like to see run as the republican candidate. I'm not necessarily asking who you think will win the nomination. They are all so awful my moderate republican father has just given up. He has already decided to vote for Obama again. I have only included people who have formally announced their running. I included Andy Martin, Jonathon Sharkey and Jimmy McMillan because they are running as republican candidates. I know that they are people who run all the time for office and don't have a chance.

6. Why? He sure doesn't act like a Democrat.

7. To the contrary...

Some of his serial critics do not act like Democrats (80% of whom support him).

8. I've heard the same argument against both Clintons.

From supporting NAFTA to a lack of banking reform, people are very upset that the Clintons are more "triangulating centrists" than true democrats.

9. Noam Chomsky as the Republican, and someone more liberal but as honest as a Democrat

Well, you asked what I wanted, not what shit is going to get crammed down my throat.

10. Good answer! nt

11. The most unelectable candidate,

to maximize Obama's odds.

Otherwise, of the current candidates, I think the least objectionable one is Romney
