Cheney/Rice2008 wins all the marbles!

[bitt]

I like it..........

[saveliberty]

Two other options that don't fit John Podhoretz's model:

Fred Thompson

Laura Bush - Can you imagine her against Hillary? HRC would get creamed!

[Maceman]

Cheney could not overcome the public perception that his health is fragile, and that he is one step away from death's door.

Cheney/Rice2008 wins all the marbles!

To me, that's an unbeatable combination! They would kick butt!!

[Rockingham]

If its Cheney-Rice, here's Cheney's best approach to the age and health rap: "Well, if something went wrong and I did not survive the full term in office, I would still be certain of something very important: my successor would be a great president."

Laura Bush - Can you imagine her against Hillary? HRC would get creamed!

Laura is too sweet. She doesn't have the chutzpah for the political world. Especially a carnivore like Hildabeast.

Now Barbara Bush (GWB's mother), she'd kick ass and take names. Washington and the world would be changed.

Like it or not.

[mountn man]

I like Fred Thompson. He seems like he'd have the testicular fortitude to say what needs to be said, and get things done.

[saveliberty]

Better Fred than Red :)

PS I think that Laura is a lot stronger than HRC. She just doesn't have the personal emotional need to engage in a display in a public arena.

[Gipper08]

I would join a third party if Laura was the nominee. She is way to the left of her Husband and we have huge FISCAL problems coming up . WE must have a TRUE conservative in 2008!

[saveliberty]

Sigh, but she would be an improvement over the Stalin wannabe.

[Gipper08]

So would LIeberman,Bayh,and Richardson.

[OpusatFR]

Seems we have a growing Equestrian Class in this country. The Senators seem to think so at any rate.

[harpu]

Remember...i42 would never reveal his medical records (in detail) and then he winds up being a heart case (and a STD carrier if the truth be known). At least with Cheney we would know the whole truth. Beside, he would be 'backstopped' by one very sharp, and very healthy Rice.

I doubt Jeb, Dick, and Rice is going to win (I think Jeb or Rice will be the vp choice.) I think it going to come down to Allen, Mitt, McCain, and Newt as a wild card. (Frist will be out early I feel after losing S.C to Allen, Mitt and McCain will split Michign/N.H with each winning won and Newt will place a lot of second and thrid's early on since he going to be the one putting force the big ideas in the campign. Rudy, Patitki, Chuck, ect... Should fade early with a couple dropping out before Iowa even. My guess it will be Allen to lose with supersouthern tuesday, but if Mitt or McCain win both Mighign and N.H then they have a chance thanks to the winner takes all open C.A primany we have now (Thanks Arnie.)

[kellynla]

I like a Cheney/Bush(Jeb) ticket for '08.

[harpu]

Your candidates of choice have a common problem...they're senators. What senator (besides the one that JFK's daddy bought him) has managed to find his way to the White House?

Allen is a great guy, with a chance to win over the conservative base, Romney is another good guy but he's from Taxachusettes, and McLaim is done - the base will not vote that POS into anything - national (although he may run as a demonRAT).

[FairOpinion]

Jeb/Condi 2008 is unbeatable.
