If we’re to revitalize conservatism, we need fresh faces. All of those that ran for President this time around should move aside for new names at leadership positions ... including Thompson, Giuliani, McCain and Romney.
McCain can finish his career in the Senate. I’d have no objection to the other three as Senators or Cabinet officials ... but they’ve had their shot at the White House, and its done.

Almost every modern recent GOP nominee ran and lost in the primary before. The exception is G.W. Bush who obviously had establishment support because of his family. McCain, Dole, Bush, Reagan (both times) had ran before.
