“GOP will lose. Can you see it?”
The GOP will probably lose no matter who gets the nomination. Each candidate or combination creates problems.
The real nightmare scenario for the GOP would be a Clinton/Obama ticket. This would energize the Dems big time, and keep any factions of their group (like the black vote) from defecting or staying home.
IMO the ideal GOP ticket would be Thompson/Huckabee. However, I don’t see that ever happening. First of all, I think Thompson is not going to do well in S.C. (Of course, I could be VERY wrong about this). Also, I think Thompson actually despises Huckabee like many here on FR do also.
I am a Hunter fan. Just like the guy. Thompson is 2nd choice, get him in, and reteach conservatism.
Thats my last stand.
