I would really, really like to see some budding national conservative GOPers who'll likely be more visible come 2008 (for one reason or another) get some speaking time, people like Bill Owens or Pat Toomey or Haley Barbour (more like a reintroduction for Haley).

If a relatively fresh-faced conservative begins to emerge now, he/she can really catch fire come 2008. Man, do I long for someone to truly get excited about once again! I love Chris Cox, but truth be told the man needs a serious personality infusion stat!

PS-What do you folks think of Craig Benson? Yea, nay, or somewhere in between?

"What do you folks think of Craig Benson?"

I never heard of him. I'm familiar with Bill Owens, but someone mentioned that he was recently divorced, and therefore, wouldn't appeal to the religious right in the primaries.
