With the exception of Goldwater, the Senators on this list were bad candidates (although I voted for and liked Dole). Goldwater's problem was that he had to run after the JFK assassination and that LBJ had the morals of a snake in his pursuit of power.

The problem with recruiting a candidate for President is that his/her heart may not be in the race. A candidate for President has to have a fire in his belly to run for President because the process is such a long ordeal. A recruited candidate may not the level of motivation to run a successful campaign.

So far there hasn't been a conservative candidate mention as a possible candidate in 2008 but that may be because the lame stream media is making up the list of possible candidates. I would imagine our "friends" in the LSM would like for no real conservative to run in 2008. I would also imagine that a real conservative candidate will run in 2008.

What about Owens, Tancredo, Sanford, Huckabee, and Allen?
