michele bachmann will see mitch daniels. how does this look absent trump, absent huckabee, mark halperin? you have two decided heavyweights, mitt romney and newt gingrich. two potential heavyweights, huntsman and pawlenty. and two potential candidates, mitch daniels and sarah palin. today, barring some entry into the race, or change, i think those are the six people who can be nominated and the two heavyweights have the upper hand right now. you think newt gingrich could win the general if he won the nomination? not with his current image. he d have to have an extreme makeover to be a general election candidate to put blue states in play. people have remade their image in american politics before. you mean like the joker in batman, that kind of makeover? wouldn t it have to be a radical change, what we think of him? he would have to
