..nor will he be--ever
This flame war has produced a lot of harsh feelings, but reality has to set in some time.
--the base of the GOP is predominantly the Religious Right
--the Mayor nor any openly social liberal will not survive the process.
There are a handful of qualified Republican governors who would make good candidates--and yes I'm not fully convinced that Vice President Cheney will not run. The landscape now is not what it will be by game time...
Which is why the GOP got its butt kicked in the midterms.
You guys keep pushing religious busybodies, you're going to keep losing elections.
