According to the latest polls, 99% of Americans don't want you. However, there is a gentleman who goes by "Buffalo Bill" that would love to have you visit. He says that he will provide you with a place to stay and plenty of lotion.

If you follow Right Wing/Conservative politics and pundits then yes, Romney and Ryan are pretty moderate.
I think that Palin is a spent force right now. She is going to have to do a lot of very hard work to get herself back into a position of power and importance.
Santorum is clearly setting himself up to run again for 2016. However he will not be alone.
Senator Rand Paul is setting himself up for a run in 2016. He is the son of Ron Paul that ran in 2012. Wiki link:

Rand Paul is a christian conservative/libertarian. He has many of the same negatives that Santorum does. Mainly making wildy irrational statments, obstructing anybody that is trying to get work done, and rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.
Another is the current Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell. Wiki link:

This is a man to watch out for. He is another christian conservative but doesn't carry many of the negatives of Santorum and Paul. He is handsome, pertly coiffed, has a lovely family, is a great public speaker, and tends to not make stupid statments that will get him ridiculed.
