I have been among the stauchest of Bush-bots and have the posts to prove it.
However, it is time for me to start looking around for a conservative to support in 2008.
The major criteria: he must be conservative AND he must be able to win.
One thing I am positive of. That will not be GW.
I wish The Gipper were available. We could sure use him about right now. He'd be pointing out the right direction in the war on terror and he'd have the ability to sell his ideas over top of the media's heads.
I'll miss GW, but I had tears when the Gipper left office.
Clearly it won't be GW. He can't win as he's already served two. RR has already served two also, so he would be ineligible even if he was still alive.
The conservative wing of the Republican Party is somewhat low regarding the talent bank right now. Unless someone comes up in the next year it is likely going to be McCain or Rudy.
