It's hard to guess public perception 3 years out, the public has short memories.

View original postJindal has the charisma of a dead fish, Paul is just barely Republican on lots of issues in weird ways that don't endear him to lots of independents, and Santorum and Cruz are too far to the right to ever win an election.
I'm generally of the opinion that how far right/left someone is actually has very little to do with their electability. Obama really was on record as very left of center, or even center for elected democrats, and middle-of-the-road doesn't seem to matter much, just impression of being more centrist then the other guy which rarely relates to reality. You're probably right though, but I was posting likely primary candidates not forecasting November.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

I weeded out the ones who can't win like Cruz, Jindal, Paul and Santorum.

Bachmann barely won re-election in a rural district gerrymandered for her.
