Unless something major changes, Rick Perry or Scott Walker because both are very successful governors whose policies have produced big results in their states.
Romney may have been right compared to Obama, but history is not on his side for another nomination. The last guy I can think of who got nominated for President right after losing was Adlai Stevenson in the 50s and that was because the Dems had no answer to Ike Eisenhower.
Rehash candidates in general also don't do well, as Nixon, Grover Cleveland, and Andrew Jackson are the major ones I can think of who lost an election and then won again down the road.
The Republicans don't have that issue, as they arguably have the best candidate field in recent history to choose from.

Doubtful. There are no real indications that the guy is even putting together the kind of organization needed to mount a serious bid. And I honestly think the fact that he doesn't have a college education will strike some voters as odd.

You must be joking.

What are Walkers successes? He is so far from his 250k jobs promise that it is scary. His inability to hire good staff is frightening.

If only the demographics of the electorate would allow them to flourish.
