I'd still like to see Condi run, but George Allen is a very good choice too.
The McCain/Feingold act that takes away Americans' right to political free speech sixty days before an election will hit the presidential race for the first time in 2008.
When that hits and with McCain's name attached to it, I don't think conservatives will elect him as dog catcher, let alone President of the United States.
It was in effect in 2004.
