Condi, DeLay, and Hastert are all wonderful conservatives (presuming that Condi has shifted to pro-life now)...but in national name recognition and status, they all rank below Giuliani and McCain.
Which is to say, even if Condi or Hastert won our primary, they'd lose against a Dem "moderate" like Bayh.
For us on the right, we LOSE ground if EITHER Pubbies nominate a moderate or else Dems win with anyone.
