| The American public didn't know about the health of FDR or JFK, big difference. George Will summed up the three GOP front runners this morning pretty succinctly:
And correctly figures that there is room for more candidates. |
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.
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
I admire your confidence. Cheney is about the only politician out there who's polls are lower than the president's.
It won't be Cheney and he couldn't win if it were. Newt is too much a policy guy, he'd be a great VP. Condi Rice could win, but she's not expressing any ambition, plus she's got time. Romney is pretty much unknown.
Neither the RNC nor DNC cultivate a deep bench or have developmental plans to nurture candidates who can win elections years in the future, instead they just let big money and politics sort it out. Planning for political succession is no different than succession planning in a business. Failure to do it puts the enterprise at risk of extinction.
If the R nominee turns out to be McCain or Guiliani, it may precipitate the rise of a Conservative Party. WAnd that would be a good thing!
OMG CHENEYYYY
That drive Demos and MSN media nuts we got some Dick Cheney fans here in ON FR Kelly
OH SNUGSS they talking about your boy on TIME
There, fixed right up.
SANTORUM 2008
Duncan Hunter is a true conservative and is in the race. Congress critter from San Diego.
What is meant by,/ the evangelicals played a major roll in Bush
candidacy?
I have read here on FR on numerous occasions the evangelicals
are a small minority and, couldn't swing an election!
this is easy for me.....
