REAL CONSERVATIVES

NEVER TOLERATE TYRANNY!....Conservative voices from the GRASSROOTS.

A possible 2012 presidential candidate? Keep your eyes and ears open for others.



1. Sen. John Thune Eyed for President in 2012

A new figure is emerging as a possible Republican presidential candidate to challenge Barack Obama in 2012 — South Dakota Sen. John Thune.

“For those in the GOP who aren’t giddy about a second Mitt Romney run and aren’t sold on the viability of Tim Pawlenty, Thune represents a mainstream conservative alternative,” Politico reports.

Republican strategist Mark McKinnon declared: “No one seems particularly excited about the current prospective field. And everyone loves Thune.”

Thune served in the U.S. House from South Dakota from 1997 to 2003 and ran unsuccessfully against Sen. Tom Johnson in 2002. Then in 2004, he defeated powerful Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, becoming a Republican Party favorite as the first candidate to beat a sitting Senate leader in more than half a century.

With no serious challenger for his seat appearing so far this year, Thune will likely seek a higher profile by campaigning for other GOP Senate candidates, according to Politico. And thanks to his race against Daschle, he has a 100,000-strong fundraising list and more than
$6 million that could be transferred to a presidential bid.

As a senator, Thune has been sharply critical of excessive spending by the Democrats.

“Thune’s message of focused fiscal restraint, coupled with aggressive small-business incentives to drive growth, will resonate extremely well with the GOP base and independents as well as Democrats,” Republican lobbyist Jeff Kimbell told Politico.

The American Conservative Union gave Thune a perfect rating of 100 in 2006.

Thune could have an edge over other Republican presidential candidates in early caucus state Iowa, because the ads he has aired were heard in parts of the state that share a media market with South Dakota.
