Unfortunately, I don't think SecDef Rumsfeld could be convinced to run for President, although he would be AWESOME.
I disagree!! Although I like the man, the MSM has given this guy such a bad reputation that it would be difficult for him to overcome. It would be far to risky for the Republican Party.

If we had to stick with people the MSM liked, we'd be stuck with some RINO (eg McCain) who'd be almost as bad as a Democrat.
The Press hated Reagan, they despised Gingrich, they lambaste Bush.... the trick is to find the conservative politician who can surmount the inevitable scorn of the liberal media.
I don't think Rummy can do it, too smart and irritated by fools ... but Cheney can. He's smart *and* smooth, he's a hundred tim russert interviews, etc.
