Jeb Bush
Ben Carson
Chris Christie
Ted Cruz
Carly Fiorina
Jim Gilmore
Lindsey Graham
Mike Huckabee
Bobby Jindal
John Kasich
George Pataki
Rand Paul
Marco Rubio
Rick Santorum
Donald Trump
Scott Walker

How long until Sarah Palin declares? Place your bets. Will she declare for a whole term, or just half of one?

Huckabee isn't doing all that well outside Arkansas, grandstanding and all. Rubio can't even catch a break in his home state, and Walker's numbers have cratered as people dimly realize how much he's despised in his home state.

However, I think it's more likely to be Graham.

The rest of them are doing well enough with PAC money to get rich quick, so they'll stay in.

He's too busy fixing up his home in Penn Hills, PA - you know, the 2-bedroom place where he "lived" while a senator from Pennsylvania, and charged the Penn Hills School District for on-line education for his family (oh, did I say that he was living in a 2-million dollar place in Virginia while doing that?).

How could he possibly have time to campaign and show his strong beliefs, you know, like HONESTY - INTEGRITY??????

Of course, a bridge could fall on Christie.
