I don't get to vote for any of the guys you mention like Hunter or Brownback. The Republican nominee will be decided early on by Republicans in states that have early primaries. The only difference I could make is to send money to the candidate of my choice which I will do. However, I think all those guys are running for second place (VP) and I'm pretty sure a strong conservative will get the nod by Rudy or John just to placate us.
A lot can change between now and 2008. Don't give up yet.
Yeah, that's worked out great with Cheney, who SHOULD be our CONSERVATIVE president, not being able to keep Bush's "compassionate", RINO-like tendencies in check.
Our placation is IMPOSSIBLE if there is a RINO at the top of the heap.
