I'd root for Ron Paul. I don't think he could get most of his real tinfoil stuff past congress (withdraw from the UN, gold standard, ect), even an R congress, so probably the least harmful.
Colin Powel was a guy I liked in the past. Made some mistakes in the Bush admin. Not sure on him.
Maybe Newt. Mainly just to see if we can get some surpluses like we did with his congress and Clinton.

Powell quite clearly left the GOP and shut the door afterwards, Sloww.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

He endorsed Obama, he didn't leave the GOP. Some politicians (not many) put the country above party loyalty.
Whether that plays well with party loyalist primary voters or not is another question, but electibability isn't what this poll is after.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

I voted Crist, Gingrich, and Jindal. All who voted for the panoply of senators are suckers.
Also, Corker is a senator, not a gov, unless you are anticipating a move.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

I don't give a rat's ass about party affiliation. I care about what the person thinks and how they would go about doing their job.
Both are information gatherers, and I think I'd like how they process the information they take from experts in the particular area of expertise.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I think he made clear that he had nothing against McCain, but had a big problem with Palin and the unsavory vitriol accompanying her and many GOP voters in the last days of the campaign. As for the big government thing, he was always a moderate. Plus no GOPer has done more for big government than President Bush and he, sadly, is still a Republican.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

Mark Sanford
Soon to be Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal
