You've hit on it all right. There really is no knight in shining armor.
The problem is we have to have someone.
I'm a Condi addict myself. The problem is she has never ever won elective office which to me spells VP instead of Potus. that leaves who or whom for Potus. The list is light. You have to have someone who is well known, it would be nice if they had a little charisma (and some balls).
I don't think the country would go for Jeb at the head of the ticket even thought he could be as good as GW.
I wish I had the answer. It just may be Rudy although he is anything but conservative.So what do you do?

I am not exactly sure if Rudy is even going to be in it, I don't know what he is doing. He knows that in a straight fight with McCain and Allen, the abortion issue is going to hurt him in the primaries. He would have to distinguish himself and go to the right of McCain on some issue - this so-called "torture" bill would be a good spot. I guess what I am saying is, if Rudy doesn't pick some spot to go to the right of McCain, I can't see how he has a chance given his abortion position.

[LegendHasIt]

For every one good thing McCain has done in his entire life, he has done at least five utterly stupid, arrogant and/or disruptive things.

The man is and has been a net detriment to any organization that he has been in.

And Specter isn't much better. The GOP would be better off without them both.

As far as Condi--- I like her and respect her, and up until three months ago would have wholeheartedly voted for and volunteered to work in her campaign should she run for President. Not any more, some of the things she has said and done in the last few months wouldn't have surprised me coming from Barbra Boxer or Chuck Schumer.

Rummy and Cheney are the only ones in the Administration who have remained steadfast in their conservative principles.
