As the Crown Prince's chances of choosing to buy the Republican nomination only to certainly lose the November election dim considerably, who then is likely to emerge as the alternative to a third Bush should JEB! demur on his royal option? Since there is an almost certainty that the nominee will be an establishment figure, you can rule out both Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. Neither the establishment party hacks, nor the "Cheney" wing of the party would allow either of these media darlings to get it. Scott Walker is tied with his Democratic opponent in Wisconsin for reelection as governor in the latest poll, and has had a lot of really bad PR recently over his fund raising activities with Karl Rove, so rule him out. Christie probably won't survive Bridgegate in the end, and most donors still regard him as too much of a risk because of it. This all leads to the logical choice of the moment: Ohio governor John Kaisch. He is almost certain to win reelection as governor in a true swing state essential to Republican chances in the general election. He does have some baggage, both as a past blowhard on Fox, and in financial speculation leading up to the 2008 crash. None of it is recent, or worse, ongoing. He may wind up the last man standing. And he could give his acceptance sheep in Cleveland.
