I don't see the relevance of the question. If anyone does run, it's up to me to identify which candidate best fits my beliefs and support him. I'm not going to mindlessly support GW Bush in the primary simply because he is President.
Finally, a man who understands the system.
That's the time to send your message home, then comes the time to stop Democrats at all costs.
I never inferred you did. I know you're smarter than that.
I'm simply stating that you WON'T be given the choice as anyone who will come forward will be stomped on by those who have an investment in the incumbent remaining. Plus, it would look like the candidate wasn't a team player going up against the already in power. But bottom line, you won't be given a choice within the realm of the "party" during the primary.
Plus could you imagine what a primary would do if someone took him on and hit him on the issues we see posed here everyday (some have even been banned for it. Even El Rushbo would probably be at least put in time out periodically with his analysis of certain White House events and issues supported.
Any reasonable candidate would have plenty to run against the president.
But sadly, in the party, you won't be given a choice come primary time.
