the fact is that none of these could be the nominee in 2008. McCain will be too old, Arnold is foreign-born, and Pataki and Guiliani are too liberal on the social issues.

There was a glowing article about South Carolina governor Mark Sanford posted last week. What do you think about him as a Republican candidate in '08?

I don't know much about him, but what little I have heard sounds good. I didn't mean to suggest that Sen Allen and Gov Owens were the only ones, or even the best. For all I know Sanford may be the best choice in O8 to face either Kerry/Edwards in round 2, or Edwards/???? or Hillary/??? in round 1.

I'll look that article up and read it.
