If he's the Republican candidate in '08 I will be happy to vote for him. As I voted for him when he ran for governor.
I hope he's the next Senator from MA, not the next president. But like you, I'd vote for him in the general election. Not that it would help.
Likewise, I hope Pataki and Schwarzenegger nab Senate seats -- although I'd never want either man as President. You take what you can get in those states.
We don't have to have the same standards for President. In fact, those standards are ones that will lose general elections, because the GOP needs every single red state to win national elections, and that means a very energized conservative base
