The Politico's Jonathan Martin opens the parlor talk on the 2012 Republican nomination.
Too early?
Too bad -- just look around.
Two potential candidates will be in Iowa before month's end, multiple prospects --almost certainly including Sarah Palin -- will make high-profile appearances this week at the Republican Governors Association meeting, and Newt Gingrich's name has already been floated in a Bob Novak column.
For a party anxious to move past a brutal election up and down the ballot, and especially a presidential campaign it would just as soon forget, it's not too soon to start thinking about "next time," as the pros call it.
I have just 20 words to say about the prospect of a Barack Obama-Sarah Palin matchup in 2012: Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please and please.
