It's not like we have a whole to choose from. If there is such a strong Republican conservative movement (which we all wish was the case), why are we having such a hard time finding a dynamic conservative candidate? Why are we recycling Newt or looking to a relatively unknown from California, or a couple of so-called "rinos"? We need some new up and coming "personable" conservatives. Right now I don't see any. Had Santorum not crashed and burned he probably would have been good on a ticket.

Because our best bets were all targetted by the Dems--and by certain people within our own party. This situation didn't happen in a vaccuum. Personally, I blame the president for not giving Cheney the heave-ho after 2004 and putting an heir-apparent in the VP spot. I remember saying back in 2002 that we didn't have an heir-apparent and we still don't.

This all, of course, feeds into my tin-foil theory about the Bushs and Clintons only pretending to be adversaries...
