Who is going to succeed GW?

[ampat]

Right now, there isn't a Republican presidential candidate ready to run in 2008. We don't need anymore "its my turn" Bob Doles. O'Reilly thinks hillary is a shoe in because the Republicans don't have anyone who can beat her. Cheney needs a rest, John McCain was once a contender but he has been wishy washy lately. Anyone have any nominees?

Oooooooh OOOOOOOOH me me me!!!

I nominate Condi Rice. Go Condi GO!

[ChadGore]

My short list ?

1) Powell (International reasons)
2) Gulianni (He's earned more than anyone)
3) Tommy Thompson (He was the best gov for 12 years in WI)

J. Random Louse has twice the brains of Hillary, five times her looks, and ten times her character.

Too early to tell. How many of us predicted in 1995 that George W. Bush would run for President?

It's not my inability to predict who will be the Republican candidate for President in 2008 that disturbs me; it is my gloomy predictions for the economy over the next few years. Bush must be careful. In staying upbeat, he must not set expectations too high. The economy is bigger than any one man. If he comes across as though he can fix it, then he will get major heat if it goes bust anyway. He's strong enough to get re-elected in 2004 either way. But a weaker candidate in 2008 could have serious problems.

I agree.

Jeb Bush/Condi Rice ticket would be a shoo in.

Then after 8 years of Jeb, we could have 8 years of Condi, by then she would gets even more experience and would be ready, and would still be young enough.

And of course maybe we could increase the Republican Majority in the Senate by 10 or so in each election ( and similar percentage increases in the House).

Reuben doesn't have a chance, so it has to be........CLAY!!

An illegal immigrant, we are giving them drivers' licenses, tuition aid, etc, and soon we will have to give them at least one vote each so they don't feel left out. Let's just hope his is not jesus, lest the aclu and the leftists say he cannot serve because his name might make someone else feel uncomfortable or threatened.

Tragically, I think it is more Ed Grubermanesque ( of BOOT to the head fame). A cyber "piece of pie" to anyone who knows the real name of the song, or the group who sang it, eh...

"Definitely Powell, if we can get him to run"

You've gotta be kidding!!!
Powell was against the first Gulf War, he was against this one, he is good at trying to appease all our enemies, that is NOT the kind of president we need.

[Mr. Mojo]

CLAY!!

Dice?

Republicans had better start grooming someone great, because I'll not see that hag in the White House. Make no mistake, she'll run. That is one election year I will certainly vote Republican. Count on it.

[A CA Guy]

In 5 years, Jeb Bush or his son would be possibilities if all goes well still with the war and the economy straightens out. Condelisa Rice would be the best.

The Democrats would scream, but Jeb is VERY qualified to run and can debate pretty well on his feet.

I don't think Hillary can EVER become President. She would cause a historic turn out to vote against her.

I like Condelisa Rice even more than Jeb. She is brilliant articulate, has class, guts and speaks well with fire in the belly.
I would love her to be both the first woman and black President and she would be among the great ones if she chose to run in my opinion.
She is so gifted and talent that if she doesn't run, it would truly be our people's loss.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Good grief. If Powell runs, I'll vote for Hillary as she seems to be to the right of Powell. How about a Conservative for a change?

[Green Knight]

Check my tagline. I want to see Jeb beat Hillary to death with his bare hands come 2008. :D
