...there are bigger issues out there besides gay marriage and abortion.

Like the second amendment? Or maybe homosexual congresscritters' e-mails?

The GOP is not going with a candidate who dresses up like a girl in 2008 unless it is a girl...

1992: Bush I (despite Buchanan scare)

2000: Bush II (despite McCain scare)

2008: Bush III (despite McCain scare)

The left is more afraid of Jeb Bush than anyone.

If Jeb runs, he wins the GOP primary with 90% of the Republican vote...

Dashwood old man, I think he's the strongest candidate the Republicans can field but questions about monarchial dynasties would not be without merit. He makes it a lot more palatable because he's a heck of a nice guy err good politician.

Another Clinton would not be?

If it comes to Bush family values vs. Clinton family values, who wins?

You could mention Dole in 1988. Quayle was having health issues so he wasn't able to run for the 1996 nomination. A shame, because Dole turned out to be a squishy pushover whereas Quayle was (and is) a very committed conservative and a tough campaigner.

>> Condi Rice is the Anti-McCain. She will beat McCain, and will then beat whomever the Donks put up. <<

If I ended up with a primary election where the only choices were Rice and McCain (ugh), I guess I'd have to hold my nose and select pro-life, anti-affirmation action McCain over the pro-abortion, pro-affirmation action Condi Rice.

What a sucky election that would be.

The difference is that Condi Rice would continue our successful, though unpleasant, policies on the WOT, while Johhnie McQueeg would be inclined to listen to the siren call of the anti-Everything Left, and would cut and run almost immediately, in order to lionized by the editorial page of the New York Times. Johnnie McQueeg is another one of those politicians who want to be loved each and every day, in the Clinton mold. We can't afford to have that type, anymore. We couldn't then, for that matter.
