Pataki - ditto.
McCain - untrustworthy.
Hagel - loathesome.
Frist - boring.
Allen - looks more like a high school football coach than a president.
Jeb Bush - the country will be suffering from Bush Fatigue by that time.
Pataki is probably even more liberal than Giuliani, isn't he? I still think a lot of prolifers would vote for Giuliani in part because they do NOT know that Giuliani is an abortion-rights booster, and whose going to tell such uninformed people?
I predict that by 2008, most of these names won't even be on the list. Here's who I think the contenders will be at the start of primary season:
Bill Frist
Mark Sanford
Mitt Romney
Rick Santorum
George Allen
Marc Racicot
Tom Tancredo
Condi Rice
McCain...of course...
