Newt Gingrich mentioned himself as one of the top candidates right now for the Republican’s nominee for president in 2012. So who are the other candidates? As it’s never to early to speculate on presidential elections, here’s a look at the current field for Republicans in 2012:
Newt Gingrich
Pros: Smart conservative.
Cons: Supported Scozzafava, so actually not that smart. In fact, rather dumb.
Sarah Palin
Pros: Is liked by Republican base. Will quickly kill known enemy of the republic, the moose.
Cons: So stupid and lacking in experience, she’s often compared to Obama.
Mitt Romney
Pros: Economic experience.
Cons: Not environmentally sound as he’s made from non-biodegradable plastic.
Tim Pawlenty
Pros: Successful governor.
Cons: The most interesting thing about him is… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Mr. T
Pros: Strong. Tough. Does not tolerate jibber-jabber.
Cons: We’ve already gotten burned by compassionate conservatism, so we don’t need someone who pities the fool. Harry Reid and others would not approve of the darkness of his skin or his manner of speaking.
The Unnamed Republican
Pros: No one knows who he is as he always wears a Mexican wrestling mask. As mysterious as he is conservative.
Cons: I’d need some sort of guarantee he’s not actual John McCain.
The Incredible Hulk:
Pros: Taps in nicely to Tea Party anger. “Hulk smash big government!”
Cons: It’s been suggested his nickname for Democrats — “puny humans” — is a gay slur making many label him homophobic.
Batman
Pros: Tough on crime and terrorism.
Cons: Can’t give many speeches as that voice he does hurts his throat after not too long.
Thomas Jefferson’s Brain Transplanted Into a Gorilla
Pros: The smarts of Thomas Jefferson and the strength of a gorilla.
Cons: He might be dismissed as a crank since many people now associate Thomas Jefferson with Ron Paul.
Me
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Won’t be old enough to be president in 2012. Why is the Constitution always preventing me from doing anything fun?
