"The Fix" Debuts 2012 Presidential Line

Our friend and partner Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post is already sizing up the 2012 GOP presidential contender field, and his Top 10 is worth checking out. We think some of his commentary of the dark horse candidates is more interesting than his predictable top three, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty in formation. Who do you think would win a debate between Marco Rubio and Haley Barbour? You’ve probably heard that Colorado is not considered flyover country in 2012, so there will be a quiz later.

Though we have to say, any list that is seriously ranking Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee as contenders is due for some winnowing. Where’s Tom Tancredo?
