Coburn/Brownback 2008 sounds good!
All the people who diss McCain for McCain/Feingold seem to forget that Bush signed the bill into law.
I see no differance between Bush and McCain on that issue.
I could tolerate McCain as the nominee.
But not Rudy, Romney, or Pataki.
Because of his opposition to free speech and support for illegal immigration, I am not voting for McCain under any circumstances -- even if it throws the race to Hillary.
Might be easier if an actual conservative was running. As far as I know, Coburn has given no indication that he is interested. Senator Allen is, perhaps, the only conservative possibility and he's not generating a lot of excitement at this point.
May God forbid such a race!
Anybody But A Dem
NO!
That will result in a third party protest vote.
Senator Evan Bayh, D-Ind would be tough IMHO. The dems won't want to screw it up again. They will go for a moderate and it won't be Hillary.
As for the repub's, George Allen or McCain will have the lead. Romney has no traction in the South and he sure as heck won't get New York. That leaves Florida, Texas, Virginia, as prime ground for winning the election. With Bayh in their, things will be tough. Lieberman strayed from the dem camp too much with his morality and pro-Israel stance. Won't see him much except for talkshows. Hillary is more of a novelty for the dems. Check out Bayh' record and see what I mean. He needs to be the focus. I can picture him and Obama running as a team.
By that "logic," we should just go ahead and run a Cindy Sheehan/Michael Moore ticket, on the grounds that NONE within the Dinsoaur Media would have anything negative to say.
You overestimate Bayh. He has no personality. BORING.
McCain, not me! You can forget Rudy also!
Perot again.
Surely the RNC is smarter than that.
"...support for illegal immigration"
Not heard much on this. What is his take on immigration?
It's too early for conservatives to unite behind one candidate--the first primary is 2 years away, and we have to see who all is running and get a good look at them first, not make a decision now.
It doesn't matter who the two halves of the superparty nominate. Their shared agenda is bloating federal government to new record levels. And they will achieve this goal.
