I have "hope" that since Potus can't run again and Cheney isn't interested in running that "maybe" some of these things will be addressed over the next four years.
we haven't groomed any candidates for a GOP president in 2008. And I don't think the country will elect a third Bush on the heels of Bush 43.
So in 2008, we had all better decide that we want to beat Hillary badly enough to allow candidates like Giuliani to participate fairly in the primary process, and take electability into account.
If we don't, Hillary will be president, and all of the things people fear will happen to the US - will accelerate 100 fold under her rule.
