>>Whatever you were trying to prove, gondramB, what you actually proved was that Rudy and McCain are the most popular of the potential nominees.<<

Not to mention that McCain as a very active senator gets a lot of searches not related to his Presidential ambitions.

Character matters. Period.

Right, like Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, etc.

Then I apologize if that's all it was.

Not a problem - this communication medium is severely limited by our inability to look each other in the eye - on the other hand its a great way to get a bunch of conservatives together to talk.

TOP Republican Newt Gingrich says the US should pull most of its forces out of Iraq and calls the occupation a "big mistake".
Mr Gingrich, who was Republican speaker of the House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999, and still commands national attention, told students at the University of South Dakota this week that the US should simply have a small reactive force stationed in Iraq.

"It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003," Mr Gingrich said during a question-and-answer session at the university reported in South Dakotan newspaper the Argus Leader.

"We have to pull back, and we have to recognise it."

While public opposition from Democrats to the war is now common, Mr Gingrich is just one of a number of Republicans and retired senior military officers expressing serious reservations about the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq.

There are now regular calls for the resignation of Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the latest coming this week from retired Lieutenant General Greg Newbold, who until 2002 served as one of the country's top military operations officers.

He called on President George W.Bush to replace Mr Rumsfeld and noted that the Iraq invasion "was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions - or bury the results".

This would be an interesting matchup:



Newt vs. Gekko.
