WASHINGTON, (Dec. 5) - Barack Obama is still more than six weeks from White House, and the next Iowa caucuses are more than three years away — so naturally, it’s time to start talking 2012, as a new national poll suggests that Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee top the list of potential 2012 Republican presidential hopefuls.
In a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey out Friday that serves as an early measure of potential support for the next GOP presidential nomination, Huckabee tops the list. Thirty-four percent of Republicans and independent voters who lean towards the GOP say they are very likely to support the former Arkansas governor if he were to become their party’s nominee in 2012. Huckabee surprised many by winning this year's Republican caucuses in Iowa and seven other contests before ending his run in March.

All right I didn't really get in early enough for the Republican Primaries so I'm not very familar with anyone. So after the election I've done my best to inform myself about the 2012 Candidates. I can find serious flaws in all except one. Huckabee. I know it is still 4 years away but who cares. I'm not totally sold on Huckabee but I leaning his way. Hopefully he can pull something off in 2012
