To early to really get fired up about anyone. Just sit back and wait to see who's left after the dust settles.

Mike Huckabee, to a limited degree, and Sarah Palin, to a much larger degree (among many other voices), will be instrumental in rallying the religious right and the conservatives and the fiscal moderates to the debate, to the battle, and to the polls.

My dream ticket would be Chris Christie and Alan West. Doesn't look like it'll happen, so we wait and we watch and we listen. It's very early yet.
