2012 Ongoing

Still working on the 2012 essay and I'm making a lot of progress. A list of potential Republican candidates I've reviewed already: Newt Gingrich, John Thune, Eric Cantor, Ron Paul, Jeb Bush, Gary Johnson, Donald Carcieri, Haley Barbour, and I'm almost done with Tim Pawlenty. If the majority of these names seem obscure, it's because they are. These are, mostly, dark horse candidates who may or may not run. I analyzed the odds that these candidates might run, win the nomination, and then win the general election. Discussion of the three "front runners," Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee will follow shortly. I don't want to disclose too much about the essay until it's done, I haven't quite concluded who I think the best Republican nominee would be myself. I'm hoping I can get this paper done by the end of next weekend, it's taking longer than I thought. The sections on the front runners will certainly take a while too.

You'll have a lot of time to work with no school on Thursday and Friday (and no blog due next week)! I'm very interested to read your findings.
