Yup, the same FR consensus that has DH as a viable candidate were several months ago veritable nostradamus's, with nearly 80% predicting GOP retention of both the House and Senate, and a mere 7% correctly predicting the eventual outcome.

I used to think Free Republic was a site with mostly rational people. I can't understand why so many of you waste your time with Duncan Hunter fantasies. Really folks hallucinogenic drugs are illegal and bad for you too. Stop taking them !!! No one outside of the Hunter family and this website thinks he has the remotest chance of being elected President. The Ronald Reagan comparisons are idiotic. Reagan had been a two term Governor of the largest state in the nation. He had been a national household name for over 40 years when he ran in 1980. God only made one Ronald Reagan. Duncan Hunter, although he is a solid Congressman, is no Ronald Reagan. I'm a conservative and I would love to have a viable conservative to work for this election cycle. But we don't have one. McCain is a no go for me. I loathe the treacherous man and believe he is non-compos mentis (loony). That leaves Mitt and Rudy. Newt's entry would hopefully pull the other two to the right (which would be great), and he might even win the nomination (which would probably be bad as I don't think he would win the general election).
That would leave us with Hildebeast or even worse B. Hussein Obama. Therefore, although I'm pro-life, pro-gun, and anti the mainstreaming of homosexuality, I am trying to decide between Rudy and Mitt.
For me the war on islamo nazi psychos is the top issue and Rudy gets my vote on that one.
Issue two is finding a candidate who won't give in to global warming hysteria because that is the lefties preferred path currently to world government and destruction of our economic system. I have to look into Mitt's position on this because Rudy made some rather discouraging comments on this recently (although they were not as bad as originally reported here.)
Next is immigration. We need someone to enforce our laws and get control of the borders. Mitt seems to the right of Rudy on this but both have a way to go. Maybe Tancredo in the race can generate some movement.
Taxes - we need to keep the Bush tax cuts at the very minimum and hopefully get a bolder overhaul of the system.
Judges - we want young Scalias.
Spending restraint - I'm hoping that both, as successful businessmen, will hold the line on spending better than GWB who was a total disappointment in this area.
Let's try to move the viable candidates closer to us on the issues rather than engage in self defeating fantasies of "ideal" candidates who no one has ever heard of and who have never run any larger organization than a Congressman's staff.
Yep .. which is why I've said, whoever is our top candidate I will pull the lever for in the general election
My Dad would love one of those if you ever get some printed.
I know....I know.....kindergarten all over again, but it's fun.......
But I think they should move it up.....now.......so my vote will count more than yours!

Yep, MS votes on March 8, 2007, but maybe I can register in CA this June. :0)
If I ever see them for sale, I will FR mail the link to you.
LOL --- what if we select the same candidate? We can then argue who found him first!
LOL.
I think this will all be over by February 5th of next year, if not sooner.
NC votes on Feb. 5th, but I still think the frontrunner will have become apparent by then.
At least to the sane people.
No Dems, none of the time. These rats are simply going to ruin everything they touch.
Rule of thumb with short, easy-to-spell words: actually use letters of the alphabet.
I definitely found him first.........
Already
You haven't changed at all. You're still a bully! LOL
I think we'll need a few of the insane ones to join us as well........
Miss PIAPS is going to have a lot of money to burn on her ads.
Rudy supporter: Hunter's okay, I'll vote for him if he wins, but he doesn't look like he has a chance. He has no real executive experience, he has never even run a state-wide campaign.
Hunter supporter: Rudy's a gun-grabbing, wife-cheating, gay-lovin', baby-killing liberal! I'll never support him, and if you support him you're a liberal Rino too!
The Hunter folks seem hell-bent on dividing this group.
Maybe they're really D plants? :-)
Never.......
*Cossed fingers behind back*
You've jumped the shark --- the one in the lake.
Spelchek
I am curious -- if Rudy wins the nomination, will you vote for him?
I have been accused of being the shark of a very big lake......
