My advice to '12 hopefuls

Here is what I would advise each GOP pres. hopeful if I were on their team.

Mitt Romney- Governor Romney is focusing on New Hampshire and talking about the economy, it is working. However, Romney should also focus on Florida as well as New Hampshire. Win states that are swing-states during a general election.

Rudy Giuliani- Rudy needs to capitalize on his record as Mayor of NYC and talk about the economy. Rudy should try to win in New Hampshire and Florida. He should also try to portray Romney as inconsistent and Bachmann as un-electable. After Florida, focus on states where republicans generally lose general elections.

Tim Pawlenty- Iowa is Michele Bachmann's home state, she will win there. T-Paw's best bet is South Carolina, he did well in the first debate there and he would have the state virtually to himself. Pawlenty needs to be more specific on the economy and be aggressive against Mitt Romney on "Obamneycare."

Michele Bachmann- Focus mainly on Iowa and South Carolina, run as the true tea party candidate, that is her biggest strength.

Newt Gingrich: Gingrich should do what Romney did last time; run on the republican three-legged stool; unite social, fiscal and foreign policy conservative. Newt's focus should be on winning South Carolina.

Herman Cain: Run on economic issues and talk up the fair tax, be the candidate Huckabee voters from '08 want this time around. Cain should take his message to Iowa, Michigan, and South Carolina.

Jon Hunstman- Huntsman should try to challenge Romney in Nevada and talk health care there.

Thad McCotter- Rep. McCotter should run as a conservative alternative to Romney in Michigan.

Sarah Palin: Palin's best chance at winning the nomination is to appeal to social conservative and focus heavily on South Carolina.

Rick Santorum: Senator Santorum should run as a conservative with more experience than Bachmann, Palin, or Herman Cain. As far as winning states are concerned, South Carolina is probably his best bet.

Ron Paul: Paul's best chance is to try and take advantage of libertarians in Nevada.

Gary Johnson: Focus in on Nevada like Dr. Paul, but be sure to mention he's a congressman and Johnson was a Governor.

Rick Perry: Take his state's rights and pro-life message to South Carolina and the rest of the south.
