Good read, I think, at least IMO either Duncan Hunter (1st choice) Sanford (2nd) or Thompson (3rd choice). I think from what I know of him Perry would make a good VP.

What about Jeb?

Can I have a few weeks off?

So...The search continues.

Some very interesting points as well as a few good one-liners. My favorite of those has to be, "Hagel's chances of being the nominee in 2008 are about the same as those of Richard Nixon -- and Nixon's dead."

If memory serves, no one had heard of Bill Clinton two years before he won the White House (thanks to Ross Perot) and few people knew George W. Bush as anything other than the former President's son two years before he was elected President himself. I still have hope that there is another Ronald Reagan just waiting to burst on the scene, but I am very much afraid that it will take President Hillary (GAG!) before he or she appears on the radar.

What about Jeb?

psst... see #17 in the article

You've had a month off. It's back to the salt mines again.

Ooops.. I started skimming after the Chuck Hagel mention.

"What about Jeb?"

I think people in this country have just about had their fill of the Bush and Clinton monarchies. No way Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton is sworn in on January 20, 2009.

After Newt, South Carolina governor Mark Sanford is my #2 choice.

Young handsome smart and a great track record, South Carolina is a very well run state.

Downsides

1. Confederate Flag on the State House grounds.
2. ?

[RebelBanker]

The only reason I noticed Jeb is because I was thinking of him as well. As stated, were his name not Bush he would be a shoo-in but he is all but eliminated because of it.

God save the Republic!

Raise your glass to the hard working people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead
Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
Empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio

Ooooh...

"Confederate Flag on the State House grounds"

That was settled a long time ago, and only a few extremists on both sides even care anymore.

[RebelBanker]

Which Sanford?

[NapkinUser]

Ping.

[padre35]

Perhaps, but do not forget that the Media is standing at the ready.

After all, this is speculation right?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Either one, but that'd mean Aunt Esther would become the acting First Lady.
