El mejor momento para Pence

Philip Klein (The American Spectator) aconseja al Congresista Mike Pence que lo haga en 2012:

(...) There are a few factors driving talk of a Pence presidential run. A regular speaker at tea parties, Pence is one of a small number of elected Republicans with an appeal to economic, social and national security conservatives. During the Bush years, he wasn't cowed into going along with the administration's big government agenda, voting against both the Medicare prescription drug plan and No Child Left Behind. Last fall, the presidential talk got a boost when he won the straw poll at the Value Voters' summit, surprising many who assumed that Mike Huckabee had it in the bag.

If Pence has any ambition of seeking the presidency, this may be the best time to do it given the wide-openness of the GOP field. Mitt Romney is the closest thing to a frontrunner, and yet he's incredibly vulnerable on a number of key issues. By 2016, several potentially strong candidates who don't have plans to run this time (Govs. Chris Christie and Bobby Jindal) will have matured. (...)

No le veo como candidato. Igual es la sorpresa que augura Rasmmussen. Tampoco le veo como runing mate.

Mi pronóstico para VP 2012: Bobby Jindal.

Queda muchísimo para febrero de 2012 que da comienzo la campaña. Ponerse a especular es un poco absurdo y yo soy de la opinión de Scott Rasmussen de que igual hay una sorpresa, un Pence, un Thune o incluso un Barbour y resultan que gana la elección.

Obama está, en popularidad, en unos números aceptables aunque las economía no tiene muchos visos de mejorar y la tasa de paro no creo que baja del 8.5 % en 2012. Es muy pronto para especular.
