Unfortunately there's no one like that who has any national visibility. It's go with what's there now or throw in the towel on 08 and hope for someone new by 2012.
The electoral landscape for the GOP is getting more difficult.
The GOP hasn't won California, Illinois, or Pennsylvania since 1988. Since then we are 2-2. The Northwest, used to be solid GOP, is gone. We have the South, but if the GOP loses Florida or Ohio, we will never win another Presidential election.
I definitely don't want to be defeatest or Pollyanna-ish...but that person was here all along...Jeb.
No Bush III is gonna get elected soon...
God works in mysterious ways.
We CANNOT throw in the towel on 2008! Wow!
and hope for someone new by 2012.
Unfortunately it would probably be 2016 and a LOT of damage can be done in 8 years, as evidence of the first Comrade Clintoon empire. I shudder to think of what this country will look like after eight more years of the 'two for one' clowns.
