I seriously doubt he will run...

He won't run, but he might run interference - kind of play a John the Baptist role - for a for another true conservative with leadership skills, presuming she wants to run hard enough to win.

One of the too little discussed lessons of the last campaign is that no matter how good a conservative someone may be they don't make a good candidate unless they REALLY want to win and are willing to work for it. Fred, Rudy and Duncan's campaigns all failed for lacking such. Fred's campaign lite was a disaster in spite of his good ideas. Anyone trying the same again will just splinter the conservative vote and give us another RHINO; shoot them down. McCain and Mitt really wanted to win and kept working hard, which saved McCain's campaign back when we all thought he was dead. Huck really wanted to win, but knew he couldn't. He settled for working hard to prevent Mitt from winning, at which he succeeded.

At this time our focus needs to be on 2010. If we can somehow replace Spector and pick up a couple other Senate seats we'll be able to prevent some of the bleeding. If we can make some gains in the House Pelosi wouldn't be able to ignore us and we can set the stage for 2012. Our Presidential wannabees can be testing in part by how much help they provide in 2010.

It's gonna take nothing short of a SUPERSTAR to overcome the Dems next time. (unless the economy totally collapses, which it might, but Bush's fault, of course)

Can you imagine how much dough it's gonna take to even come close to matching them? I'll bet alot of that $3 billion going ACORN will be invested & set aside for FAUXbama's next campaign. The fraud is gonna be unimaginable.

You missed that one FRiend. McLame was SELECTED as the WEAKEST (r) candidate.

He was out of money, DOA! No ideas, no charisma, no hope of winning. Then blammo, the ENEMEDIA selected him for us. Suddenly every story was of him, the super republican candidate, forget those other lib (r's).

Only thing is he picked the weakest VP he thought possible. In his eyes, she was a terrible pick. No Tonian social skills. Didn't know all the Sk-n-Bees connections. Totally out of the loop, off way up north not even touching any other state.

Sarah IS a real person. Not a phony. Not a polly. The response scared them!!!!! Badly!
