I like Cox too but he should run for Senate against Dick “Eddie Haskell” Durbin and not divide conservative presidential votes and possibly help a pro-abort cross-dresser like Giuliani to need fewer votes to get delegates. Also the only way a conservative can be nominated and elected in Illinois with the absolute corruption that is the standard of what passes for a GOP here is by self-financing. Cox can do that and, I believe, he has a good biography and correct stands on the issues. We need to thin the herd of POTUS candidates in the GOP right after Fred Thompson announces.
Good points. Maybe Cox SHOULD go for the Senate first - a conservative GOP can win even in Illinois, though it’s difficult. Fitzgerald did it a while back, though his opponent was a nut (but so is Durbin). Maybe after a term or two in the Senate or as Gov, Cox will be ready to run for the POTUS.
