Republicans, who would be the best candidate to defeat that one in 2012 (I dare not speak his name)?

Well I believe that a Ron Paul type character is neccessary for our nation and to gain independants and such in an election, I would say Rand Paul since he most certainly could win a caucus but at the same time I doubt he could beat Obama in a race. I seriously doubt the chances of most candidates not that I doubt Ron Paul but simply he most certainly wont win the caucus. I imagine that a possible winner would be Mitch Daniels his charm winning over many middle class Americans and certainly the rich, as well as being a man who could win the caucus very easily as well as being a Reagen republican which certanily gives him a boost. But he says that he has no wish to run.....
