The dreaded Jonah Goldberg has an entertaining column about the 2012 Republican presidential primary. He thinks Huckabee won’t run. He believes that Romney, Gingrich, Palin, Pawlenty, Santorum, Bolton, Daniels, Cain, Johnson, Paul and Thune will all probably run, and that Romney, Palin, Gingrich, Pawlenty and Daniels will be the front-runners.
I’m a Bolton man myself, but Herman Cain is intriguing too: he’s the former Godfather’s pizza CEO who wrote the “Christ was the perfect conservative” post that many of us enjoyed. He’s African-American, and if that post is any indication, he is very well-spoken.
The 2012 Republican primary can’t get here fast enough for me. I know in the end that all my favorite whack job candidates — Palin, Bolton, Cain, Santorum — will get crushed and that we’ll be subjected to endless gushing about the moderation and good sense of Romney, Thune, and possibly Daniels. But I can dream, right?
