Be still, my beating heart...for real! Kelly, I am with you all the way and am praying for this night and day.
No, he ain't running. If "true" conservatives want a candidate, it will either be Brownback or Mike Huckabee.
I still lean towards Newt Gingrich. The man is tough and I believe an honest person. Could he win? I think he could if people in Washington would get behind him. I also believe that he's a no BS politician. The next question is.....will he run?
John Bolton.
"Brownback or Mike Huckabee?"
Who? LOL
Neither will suffice. The '08 nominee must be a warrior for secure borders and the enforcement of our immigration laws, or he will lose.
Because Cheney ain't running and Newt can't elected state-wide in Georgia.
Newt needs to go on the Marine Corps diet! :-]
Personally, I reject Newt for a couple of reasons: One, he's damaged goods, politically, due to his own personal failures. Two, he's driven by polls and focus groups, not principle (I heard him last summer in Des Moines paying lipservice to the global warming myth, even.) Three, he's a pushover for the Left...Bill and Hillary's favorite Republican boy-toy.
like I said, people do change their minds...
and for this country's sake, we better hope he does!!!
He has to jump in quickly since McCain, Romney and Rudy are sucking all the money and organization.
Cheney would have an uphill battle but with a good running mate I think he could pull it off. Cheney is articulate and a fighter. I've always taken more away from his speeches than anything the President has delivered. Those who claim Cheney is running things behind the scenes I think are sorely deluded because I believe if he were running things the perceptions of the White House would be entirely different. He wouldn't have retreated on Iraq as the President has and allowed the Democrats to nationalize the election as they did. I think Brownback is probably the most promising but it depends on how good a speaker he is. I also like Duncan Hunter.
That said, I think the GOP power structure will try to give this nomination to John McCain just as they did to Bob Dole. He is the next in line. I even think the President will come out and endorse McCain before all is said and done. We will have to fight to make sure the nominee is not a liberal sympathizer and also be careful that two many conservatives running at the same time don't dilute the vote and throw the primary to the left.
We need a General.
Dan Quayle. Statesman. House, Senate, Vice President, and private sector (chairman) experience. Die hard conservative. Shrewd thinker (warned fmr Pres. Bush of his election-costing mistakes), and sharp debater (Gore '92). Famed user of the conservative bully pulpit. Still young, 59, but not too young. And now an outsider. Dan is my first choice and, for me, the best choice in 2008.

Newt is delusional if he thinks he can win the presidency because the media will rip him to shreds. As much as I like Cheney, he has no chance of being elected. IMO
