Clinton, Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Obama, Frist, Gingrich, Gore, Kerry, Rice, Edwards, Pataki, Biden… Like it or not, the 2008 presidential race is officially underway. What’s missing is a clear front-runner for the Republican nomination.
Georgia governor Sonny Perdue is, perhaps, the GOP’s best hope of maintaining control of the White House.
Republicans are Mad about Spending and Immigration
Perdue balanced the budget in Georgia, which insulates him from the criticisms that face any candidate that comes from our irresponsible, deficit-swelling congress.
Perdue passed the toughest immigration legislation in the country, while Washington did nothing.
Independents are Mad about the Iraq and Trade
Since Perdue wasn’t in Washington during the vote to authorize the Iraq war, he can approach it with an open mind and no political baggage.
Regarding trade reform, Perdue can reach out to natural allies like Gingrey, Norwood, Deal, and Westmorland, all of whom have been outspoken about cracking down on Chinese trade abuses (especially regarding child and slave labor).
Perdue was the GOP’s Only Bright Light in the Mid-Term Election
With Perdue at the top of the ticket, Georgia Republicans picked up both the Lt. Governor and Sectary of State offices and expanded the Republican majority in the statehouse. Republicans in the rest of the country took a “thumpin........”

Why Conservatives Are So Angry
If we have time- we will also be talking about the RACE CARD! Hope you all can tune in....and HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
Sonny's a nice guy, and I like him, but he's not ready for prime time.
Well he lied to the citizens of his state so we know he's a good politician at least. What a choice. A former mayor of New York, a governor of Massachusetts, or Perdue. Two yankees and a scalawag. And that's what the Republicans apparently have to offer....
I live here in GA...and to be honest- I LOVE Sonny....but I also have my eye on Mitt Romney....
But the one I like most- but is not mentioned is Steve King from Iowa......
I still need to do more research before I could really throw my support behind anyone...but...I just hate the lack of SHINING Conservative Leaders for '08......ugh!
LOL!!
I sure hope you call into the show and share that!!!!
Sad list of hopefuls, eh?
well clock is ticking!
I need to RUN to the studio...(okay I will drive...)
;-)
Looking forward to today's pings, Eeev!
i wouldn't vote for LYING SONNY if he ran for dogcatcher.
he's the best governor that can be BOUGHT! (he even sells out CHEAP!)

The cupboard is bare... as it stands now and things look bleak. The loss of conservative voices like Allen, Santorum, Weldon and Hayworth will really hurt our influence over 2008.
"roo", i'm eternally fascinated by your arrogant IGNORANCE, willingness to accept OPEN DIShonesty in politicians & your obvious lack of brains.
otoh, with the exception of N-S, you're the ONLY one of the "DAMNyankee coven of lunatics, fools, nitwits & idiots" who has ANY brains.

I do have a question, though. Is Governor Perdue's real name Sonny, or is that a nickname?
The reason I ask is that the name is a definite handicap outside the South.
He doesn't have enough national appeal, and would probably do for the Republicans what Alton Parker (1904) and John W. Davis (1924) did for the Democrats -- lock them out of every state north of the Mason-Dixon line.
He's in a new movie coming out this winter (We Are Marshall), though, and that will open up a lot of opportunities for him.
Chambliss has a good ACU rating. I never hear much about him. I voted for him when I lived in GA.
I agree with you, x. Sonny's a great guy and devoted conservative, but his curb appeal as a national candidate is questionable.
However, I do look forward to seeing "We Are Marshall!"
Exactly.
Hey, while you are trashing a good man like Perdue, why don't you USE CAPS every other WORD while EXPLAINING HOW MUCH you HATE ABRAHAM LINCOLN and think that DRED SCOTT made the CIVIL WAR ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL and how you just know that the SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.
Idiot.
you got it right.
Uncalled for.
