Santorum has to win in 2006 first, and he is being targetted hard by the Dems.
There have been several former senators to have become president. There have only been 2 SITTING senators to get elected, Harding in 1920 and Kennedy in 1960.
Elizabeth I was born in 1533 to Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Although she entertained many marriage proposals and flirted incessantly, she never married or had children. Elizabeth, the last of the Tudors, died at seventy years of age after a very successful forty-four year reign.
She did it in spades.
I have long been an admirer of her character, and I think Condi has the same characteristics.
Martinez won't be on a 2008 ticket for the same reason Barrack Obama won't.
I'm voting for the ticket no matter what. our party stands for nothing if it allows Hillary to walk into the oval office because we litmus test away our best candidates. I look at it this way, a "pro-choice" republican president really isn't going to do much to advance that agenda in office - what we will likely get is the status quo, whatever we had the day he took office. can we same the same about Hillary? no way. I'll take 4 or 8 years of the status quo over Hillary any day.
Tom Ridge - Former governor of Pennsylvania and first homeland security chief. Vietnam vet and family man. That's my bet. He's tall, dark and somewhat handsome. Has a recognizable name. A nice demeanor. Has the likeability factor. And chances are, in 4 years, terrorism will still be on the voters radar.
Sanford if he is running..
Two guys from blue states and one a Mormon? Stay off the highways in the south on election day because the Christian Right will go fishing.
Why waste time on an election. Let's go and crown her Queen Condi I!
I would like to see Jeb run because he could WIN against anybody the Dems put up expecially if HITLERY is their nominee!
yes, you are right about those states as being the new battlegrounds in 2008. but with Richardson on the ticket, the Dems are going to have a better chance in AZ, NM, NV and CO. if you take Kerry's 2004 electoral total, and add 3 out of 4 of those southwest states - the Dems win unless we can peel off something we didn't win in 2004.
I guess I mean demonstrative and communicative....like in 1996......as much as I like Dole, he did not come across that well and Clinton was a much better communicator
Nothing to do with race at all.
Everything to do with both of them being freshman senators and the primary season starting in their second year on Capitol Hill.
He's a pro-abortion Catholic. He doesn't have a chinaman's chance. Plan B?
I don't like any of them.
No Senators and No RINO's.
Oh, get bent. I am not trying to coronate her. I am simply answering your question, and pointing out that unmarried women can be successful leaders.
