With Cheney not running, who is our best candidate in 2008?
Right side of my Great Brain | 11/03/04 | Lo

Posted on 11/03/2004 9:06:21 PM PST by Lo1618

We all know Nurse Ratchet, otherwise known as Billy Jean "Hillary" Clinton wants to run for the DEMS in 2008 (assuming we can't knock her out of the Senate Daschle style in 2006.)

We also all know AlGore has been eating cheeseburgers George Forman style while watching documentaries on the 1960 Nixon/Kennedy race and Nixon's later rise from the dead to prepare his comeback in 2008.

The question is, who is being discussed to step up on our side?

The GOP is not ready to nominate a pro choice candidate (Rudy/Arnold)

That is true. However with a conservative House and senate nothing would ever be sent up to him along those lines and if he vetoed we might have enough seats by then to over-ride any veto. I'm just looking at Rudi from shear vote-getting ability. I'd rather deal with him in there than a Hillary!

Arnold probably would suffer from McCaiisitis anyway...:/

I'm from Texas, Rick Perry is no George W. Bush. I wouldn't count on him ever winning. You don't have to worry about Texas going for a Dem tho, the only blue part of this state is in Austin/University of Texas.

Guiliani, Pataki, Bill Owens are some good choices. I've also always liked Mark Racicot (sp?).

Guiliani is the best choice. Who knows, Cheney may retire due to health reasons in the next term and Guiliani named as VP. Nice thing is he wouldn't have to pardon anyone. I also agree that the Pro Abortion stance would be mitigated by congress. It would take a little fight out of the beast, too.

Condi would be fantastic but her inexperience would hurt her. Remember, the beast has been President before.

In '88 I saw CR give a non prime time speech at the RNC convention. I turned to my wife and said, "That's a future President.."

1988.

I think Tancredo would be good, with perhaps a governor or Guiliani to balance out the ticket at VP.

I want someone who can think quickly and respond to tough questions in a heartbeat, kind of like Tony Blair, except he's not American....and he's a liberal.

I agree with J.C. Watts as a choice. How about Joe Scarborough? He comes across pretty good on TV.

Governor Engler (Michigan) - B1 Bob Dornan

Michigan! Go Buckeyes!

Chill...:) That's my bad Kerry imitation. LOL

I think you may be onto something there!

I like Dornan too, but do you think he'd be electable? He strikes me as appearing, Idon't know, what's the word...quirky?

Anyway, let's throw Engler on the list, eh?
