Politics Daily GOP Contenders: Reagan Conservative Sarah Palin Vs RINO Romney

Friday, April 30, 2010

The race to win the GOP presidential nomination – is gearing up. It, too, has a large field, but this race is a marathon that takes four years to complete. Now, the time has come to begin handicapping the 2012 primary race.

This list represents a snapshot of a moment in time, with fluid odds and a constantly changing field. Keep in mind that if this list were compiled a year ago, Mark Sanford's name would have been included – and possibly John Ensign as well. But that's horse-racing. Just ask the owners of Eskendereya, the consensus favorite to win the Kentucky Derby, who was pulled out of the race a few days ago.

This is according to the Obama dolts at The Associated Press:

1. Mitt Romney, 3-1 -- (true odds 7-2) Smart horseplayers bet with their heads, not their hearts. It has been said that Democrats fall in love, but Republicans fall in line. As such, the smart money is to back this horse, and that means the likely nominee will be Mitt Romney. Romney's obvious shortcoming is that the health care plan he shepherded through the legislature in Massachusetts, dubbed "Romneycare," is nearly identical to Obamacare. Romney finished in the money last time. This time, he's the candidate to beat. This is naturally the Democrat and medias attempt to choose the GOP candidate via continued attacks on Sarah Palin while promoting RINO Romney.

2. Sarah Palin, 7-2 – (true odds 2-1) The lone filly in the race, Palin is disdained by the mint julep Republicans, but in today's GOP, there may be more votes among the infield crowd, with its beer chests and lawn chairs, than in the clubhouse luxury boxes – especially in the primaries. This horse has a natural gait and heart, but she's headstrong and difficult to guide – a tough customer for any trainer. The reality is Sarah Palin has a massive and enthusiastic following. She is the only candidate with the ability to draw huge crowds and raise funds like no the GOP, including Romney the RINO. For example her endorsements of Tom Emmer for Minnesota Governor, Rand Paul and Tim Burns of Pennsylvania all brought in hundreds of thousands hours after her announcement.

3. Tim Pawlenty, 6-1

4. Mike Huckabee, 8-1

5. John Thune, 10-1

6. Mitch Daniels, 12-1

7. Newt Gingrich, 15-1

8. Haley Barbour, 20-1

The Field: 12-1

Rick Perry

Rick Santorum
