I don't know who it will be, other than a Governor from the South or West.

When you look at that list, Sen. Allen stands head and shoulders above the rest (do we really want a president named "mitt"?)

Please, NO Senator candidates (unless they have also spent considerable time recently in some executive position - preferably as a state governor). Also forget mayors.

The only ones I would even consider are George Allen and Jeb Bush. If I would want someone who agrees with murdering babies in the womb, I would vote Democrat.

History does not favor single, childless, women.

If Frist stomps the obstructionist Democrats for the next two years and then retires, he'll be the prohibitive front-runner. But if he doesn't, he should just go back to the Operating Room.

Best win ticket would be Bush-Allen.

All I can say is that a "Pro-Choice" GOP will NOT get the Nomination.

I have suggested Donald Rumsfeld lately?

OK, then, let me suggest....Donald Rumsfeld.

I wonder how many of the members here who continually whine that Bush isn't conservative enough will pop into this thread and say they want Rice or Giuliani? They don't seem to realize that both are far to the left of President Bush on many important issues.

A smart, articulate, nice looking black woman on the other hand, would cut the legs off of any candidate the RATS can think of.

Governor Sanfords chances are linked straight to his being re-elected and results he gets in Carolina.

I still think Lamar Amexander might run, if his heart is in it.

Senator Sanctorum will run, if he wins re-election, but he's more likely a VP pick for someone to pick up there conservative credentials.

My sleeper is Senator Coryn from Texas, he's got a unique style and he scares the bejesus out of liberals and folks on lefty sights, they think he can kill'em. If they fear him, I like him.

Lets not count out any other governors who are being a bit quiet now, but will pop out of nowhere in 2007, if Sanford is one of those guys, he'll set the race on fire.

Romney and Owens have no chance anymore.

Another sleeper pick, the good ole governor from the state of Minnesota, and look out for a possible run from that states current junior senator.
