Dang! I wonder what would?!?

I would bet you're right.

That's the truth.
I had hopes for Fred Thompson for a while. Duncan Hunter, while a good man, doesn't have a chance. Ron Paul is a nutcase, even though as a libertarian I agree with most of his ideas with a few notable exceptions.
To be honest, my first choice this year would Barry Goldwater, but he's not on the menu on this plane of existence any more.
