Conservatives need to start looking forward just 4 years and start thinking about who will run against Hillary in 2008.
Allowing that creature to win will undermine this nation worse than the 8 years she had puppeteering through Bubba.
Suggestions for a candidate/team?
Cheney & Rice in 2008!
Who are we kidding, it will be just another pack of RINO's in the race. I don't think a real conservative has a chance anymore.
Owens/Santorum. Owens has the excutive experience and solidifies the Conservative Midwest/West and Rick adds a major EV State, Pennsylvania.
Ann Coulter/Michele Malkin.
I would love to see Tommy Franks in government in any form. He is just a good man from what I can tell. Love him and want to see more of him!
LTG
one thing about Giuliani/Romney is that maybe just maybe Romney puts both MA AND MI into play....are his conservative bona fides enough to give conservatives some hope with Giuliani at the top?
My thinking is that Santorum helps Giuliani with religoius conservatives...I don't know if Romney does that. Evangelicals especially like GWB's piety. I don't know how the Mormon thing will go over.
Frist is interesting, you'd be seeing a Senator vs. Senator there.
If Romney or Rudy would hold the RNC platform, I would run one of them and someone dynamic that the South loves to hold that part of the country.
Yes.
Ken Blackwell in 2012, after Ohio governorship.
He's da man!
Longshot ... if he becomes Director of Homeland Security ... how about Bernard Kerik on the ticket somewhere?
If it's true that Evangelical and Catholics carried the day, it would be very difficult to get consensus on pro-choice Giuliani. The War on Terror could also have a much different look to it, which may make his 9/11 leadership less of a story than it would be today.
Santorum would be wonderful, but politically-speaking, their needs to be a continued movement rightward within the GOP to make it happen. Bush appeals to both ends of the GOP spectrum without coming across as dispassionate.
For now, I think I will revel in our victory...
If the Dems run Evan Bayh against Guiliani, they win. Bayh is pro-life and will pull the Christian vote as well as the midwest.
Rudi Giuliani is too liberal.
Jeb Bush is not gonna run.
Right now the best team the GOP has to offer, is Bill Owens and Rick Santorum. Owens says he doesn't want to run for POTUS.
It's a long road to 2008. A lot can happen.
Oh my gosh. That would be hilarious. Never even thought of it. I am thinking Pataki, McCain, Guliani, or someone that no body has thought of yet.
Sure. The only requirement is that he meets the requirements to serve as president. There's no two-term limit on VP as there is for president.
Do you really think Condi could do a better job as President than she has done as "national security advisor"?. Sorry to be so "non-PC" BUT
Bush would not have hit so many shoals with nabad intelligence, been so bulldozed by the 2d tier Pentagon brain trust, and been so stymied by the insurgency in post-war Iraq if he had a stronger, more astute security advisor.
He'd have to lose the wife or get an annulment before he can even present himself in good standing.
Can't agree more
Rudy was a big help to Bush in this campaign. His leadership record as mayor is admirable, and he is loved around the world.
I can forgive the abortion (or maybe we can move him to the right on that one).
I was only joking about (R)nold
