"This Week" Roundtable

Today Sen. Thune was mentioned on a short-list of 2012 contenders on the Roundtable segment of ABC's This Week. From a list of ten possible names, Thune was narrowed down by panelist George Will into a list of the top 5 strongest candidates who could perform in key areas of the country.

Additionally, Will discounted Sarah Palin's electability by saying "she cannot compete where elections are decided".
