No, my little grasshopper, they want us to nominate him so Hillary can easily beat him in the general election. Who would you prefer the Dems nominate, Hillary, Obama, or Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich obviously. He's got no chance and he wouldnt be taken seriously as a presidential candidate. He would be like us nominating Bob Dole in '96 just so we had a candidate.
That's what happens when you nominate by name recognition instead of core GOP values.
Kinda like what some folks are doing with Rudy now.
"He's got no chance and he wouldnt be taken seriously as a presidential candidate."
Above and beyond "name recognition," which is being taken care of as we speak, why do you believe this? Over a carpetbagger of a Senator, with far less political experience than Duncan Hunter? And, with significant negatives attached to her own name recognition? Admit it, you just prefer another candidate, and rather than go negative on Duncan Hunter, you've chosen to belittle his "electability." The conventional wisdom is that Senators don't stand a chance at the presidency, but we have a whole slew of them, on both sides. There is no conventional wisdom regarding former mayors, because there is no precedent ... at all. What does that say about Rudy Guiliani, as far as any historical argument? Clearly, the old "rules" are out the window for 2008, so a 14 term Representative, with impeccable Conservative credentials and a House Chairmanship under his belt, is just as credible, or even moreso, than anyone else in the field.
