This is the sad dilemma we are in. The Repubs have NO CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE to run. But at the same time, we MUST WIN and keep a power-mad Stalinist out of the White House. Great choices, right? RINO OR MORE SOCIALISM...the choice sucks.
Well, if you think back to September 1997, the GOP landscape for the 2000 election was nowhere near ready to determine a front-runner. In fact, it was later than that when a generally intelligent and politically savvy co-worker surmised that Senator John Ashcroft was a likely front-runner for the GOP nomination. W was getting his re-election campaign for Governor of Texas into full swing. So I would say, yes it is MUCH too soon to handicap the race for the 2008 nomination. But I will say this: If the nominee is either McCain or Guiliani, the democrats will win the presidency in 08 because even a hillary candidacy will not energize the GOP base enough to embrace either of those RINOs.
when people get a look at how slim to non-existent the bench of conservatives are, and judge their electability, Rudy is going to be looking pretty good.
