Well this is the best option, but he'll never do it and probably is too important to fighting the Obama regime on the radio. Mr. Savage is an independent conservative who has been right on almost every issue in America (save his gaff about Autism, but let's not hold that against him). I do not know if he could ever survive an election (the media) but Mr. Savage would be an ideal candidate that is savvy enough with the English language to brow beat Mr. Obama in a debate until he cried "Uncle". 
This man has had the courage to call out our new leader (probably a racist). He has called a spade a spade as far as the new civilian security force, and compared them to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union (which it would be). I don't know much of his background other than the fact he voted against the bailout package (way to free market for America). I like what I am seeing from Rep. Broun, but can he play outside of Georgia? The South will already vote with a Republican, do we need someone from a "blue" area of the country? Maybe, but I like Rep. Bourn's ideas and the fact he is not afraid to voice them. The question with some the the members of the House of Representatives is will they keep their conservative values once in a general national election? His ideas will play as they are currently, but will a Republican advisory tell him to move to the central? If so, he will be doomed, but if he stays conservative, we may have hope for a conservative candidate.
3. Gov. Bobby Jindal R-Louisiana
I disagree here with some conservatives that Gov. Jindal will not play outside of Louisiana. I know many support him and I tend to agree. He is a minority, young (37), a Catholic(support from Right to Life), has been a member of Congress, favors gun ownership rights, favors an constitutional amendment against flag burning, attended Brown University, and is a Rhodes Scholar. I know the last two things don't mean much to conservatives, but as far as playing outside of the South this helps. If a conservative base gets behind Jindal and we can bring some centralist into the fold, I think this man can lead the party. Call me crazy, but this could be the conservative leader we need.
4. Gov. Sarah Palin R-Alaska
Ok, seriously, I have no idea why she is even being mentioned. Hillary was defeated even though the cards were dealt in her favor, and Palin signaled the end of the McCain rally. I'm sure she's a nice person, and seems to have some conservative values, but she is not fit to be in the White House. We don't need "mavericks" at this point; we need strong willed people, who will not compromise, and who are predictable and will lead this country in national security and bring back our economy. Gov. Palin is not someone who can do this. Sorry, Governor, you need more experience (maybe run for a senate seat).
5. Rep. Paul Ryan R-Wisconsin
This is an interesting guy. Never heard of him before, but on election night after Mr. Obama was announced the winner, he was interviewed by Brit Hume on Fox News. I cannot find a link (if I do I will post it), but the jest of his talk was that the Republican party must get back to its conservative roots. Well I'd vote for him based on that line right there, but on top of that he favors rewriting our unfair and poor friendly tax code to allow for people who spend money and feed the economy to keep their money. He favors drilling in the United States (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T4XhhkDUJM), making social security voluntary for younger workers, wants to fight the War on Terror, is pro-life, and reforming our education system in a responsible way (not just throwing money and subsidies at the problem). I would love to see Rep. Ryan get in the spotlight of the party more and will try to lead the cause.
6. Frm. Rep. J.C. Watts
I love J.C. Watts. He is conservative, a minority that's not afraid to step up to his liberal friends from across the isle(first black member of Congress to not join the Black Caucus), and a former football player(Obama plays soccer, obviously this needs to worry us). He is a successful businessman, and has been critical of the Republican party for not being able to reach black people. That is a real problem, we have not been able to convince black people that conservatives are better for this country, however, does that really matter? The truth is not many black people vote, for various reason, and we don't necessarily need black people to vote with our candidates. Statistics have shown that not many new black people registered for this elections, but the Democrats captured the black vote by and large (they were already doing this anyway). But having a strong conservative black cannot hurt us, and there is no Bradley Effect to worry about.
7. Frm. Rep. Newt Gingrich
Old news. I don't know if I am on board with this. He has a lot of skeletons in the closet, and I think has shifted more central since he has left office. He also has questionable moral decisions that the media would tear apart. As much I would hate to make a decision based on that but I feel the other candidates mentioned have more freshness and could lead this party into a new conservative revolution.
Well there you have it, those are the viable leaders I see for 2012. One of these men or woman will be the Republican nominee. I think there are good candidates in these 7 people, but will it be same old same old from the Republican party, or are they serious about embracing the conservative side of the party?
