We can’t do it with a weak candidate of any ideology. We need someone who will energize the base, and also draw in the less politically motivated voters. I’m hoping that Thompson gets in and catches fire. The others do not excite me in any way. I feel that we likely lose with either Rudy, Romney, McCain or Hunter.
I agree.
I don’t know if I could hold my nose and vote for any of the ‘top three.’
And it sure as heck is WAY TOO EARLY to be asking us to hold our noses and accept a non-conservative.
Disagree on Rudy. I like Fred, but until he actually enters the race, Rudy is doing fine.
