I think we need to realize that the Democrats will be gunning for us in 2008 like never before.

Gephardt will be back. So will Edwards. Hillary will be a washed-up sixty-something frump by then, but I wouldn't underestimate her ambition and the left-wingers love her. Gore will definitely be back. I think Clark may give it a try as well.

I think that some combination of Jeb Bush, Condi Rice and Elizabeth Dole would make a great ticket. Most presidents in the past 30 years were governors of Southern states and Jeb is the governor of a Southern state.

I'm amazed nobody has suggested the most obvious answer.

We should repeal the 22nd Amendment and re-elect the greatest President we've ever had: George W. Bush!

1) Jeb cannot possibly run in 08. It smacks too much of a "dynasty," and it just won't happen. I don't even see him as VP.

2) I like Rice, but people here need to get over this infatuation with her as a candidate: she has NO electoral experience; NO money; NO machine. If you think those things aren't important, look at how Kerry has come back in Iowa almost entirely on the basis of his machine.

3) Now, if she somehow were to resign her position; run for and win a (say) Senate seat, it would be a remote possibility. But I think my wife is correct when she argues that before we get a woman pres, we will have to first "break the barrier" with a woman Veep---an elected one, not just nominated like Ferraro.

you are correct about the DIMocRATS gunning for us. BUT they have NOTHING/NOBODY who can win NOW or in 2008.

i suspect that the DIMs will be DOWN for the count by then, and MAY just possibly be a regional/permanent minority party by then. their base is ALREADY in the NE & rust belt. that area is NOT wherer the future lies.<P.free dixie,sw

I don't think a Bush/Dole ticket is a good idea. It sounds like way too much rehash. I like Bush for VP and ??? for Pres. Actually I'd like Jeb as pres, but I don't know if the USA would. But against Hillary, I'd want Jeb to be the nominee. Maybe go Jeb/Condi.
