June 30, 201511 yr For a long time, I thought it was Bush or Christie's race to lose on the GOP side. Now I think it's Bush or Rubio, with Paul possibly having a shot. If I were betting on this in Vegas I'd wager on Paul. I'm not saying he's the favorite, but I imagine he'd be something like 5-1. He has enough upside in this field to make that a value. Jeb is the clear favorite and if his name were anything other than Bush this would all be moot.
June 30, 201511 yr According to a Fox News poll from last Wednesday, he's nearly in the cellar among the GOP candidates, earning just 2% support. That same poll has Trump in 2nd place and Carson in 3rd.
June 30, 201511 yr I believe I saw where Kasich plans to throw his hat in the ring around mid-July. Kasich is most likely announcing July 21 and Walker may be doing so on July 13.
June 30, 201511 yr Author Jeb is the clear favorite and if his name were anything other than Bush this would all be moot. No doubt. Same is true for Hillary.

I like Paul's chances in a General Election much more so than in the GOP Primary.
June 30, 201511 yr Author That same poll has Trump in 2nd place and Carson in 3rd. I saw that as well. Not surprised to see Trump at #2 , but definitely surprised to see Carson at #3 .
June 30, 201511 yr I would have absolutely voted for him in 2012. I think I'd lean his way now as well, but haven't followed nearly as closely as I used to.
June 30, 201511 yr Of the Republican candidates out there currently, Christie is easily the choice for me. Christie is the favorite Republican of every Democrat that I know.
June 30, 201511 yr In my opinion only 4 candidates have a legitimate shot of winning the nomination: Jeb, Walker, Rubio, Paul, in that order. Carson and Trump may be Huckabee from 2008. No one else will make much noise.
