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?

George Allen Hmmm, you're probably right for 2012 or 2016...with onlyone stint as congressman, one stint as Gov. and one stint as a senator, he is definately a rising star....needs a little more under his belt perhaps...Thanks for pointing him out though, gotta keep a watch on him!

Rice with her strong personality would be good.

We have hillary, especially with her "We Are Going To Take Things From You" speech.

Jeb - Watts

HHHMmmmmmmmmmmmm.

That's a powerful combo. Did Watts gain enough experience to not be a liability though?

Being that I live in Florida I did a bit o' digging. The response was Jeb's focus is on wrapping up Florida for a Republican governor to replace him as his foremost priority. Gotta hang on to that 27 votes!

After that is accomplished, no word. Seems to me that his denials are along the lines of everyone elses including The Beast, Rudi, et.al.

The way Rudi is talking though, sounds like he's trying to clear the way for Pataki to make a run, while Rudi and the NYC Police chief guy, argh whats his name, seem tobe positioning themselves as a sort of Dynamic Duo...Dept. Of Homeland Security Chief and National Security Advisor -

Condi moves over to Secretary of State...I'm wondering where Condi's underling moves to even though she is a Clintonista?

Bill Owens

There's another good one. If what the other said, that he's a texas guy too, that could only help!

Hmmm, seem the field isn't as sparse as it first appeared to be!

It's nice tohavea deep bench!

For them, after The Beast HC, there really isn't anything there is there?...LOL

I saw CR give a non prime time speech at the RNC convention.

Surely would be a first, but don't you think she's too specialized in her knowledge? I can see her as VEEP amybe, but not president without experience...

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

Another rising star too, but doubtful at this time he'd get top billing with more experienced players out there...It'd be nice if someone came in from the West...:)

I like Mitt Romney.. And Bill Owens. You know, Romney does have that Senate/House "never send up a bill" thing going that Rudi would...so he's not out of the question....

I don't know why but I just keep thinking we're missing something obvious....hmmmm. Someone in the current administration?

I want someone who can think quickly and respond to tough questions in a heartbeat...

that sound like Guliani to me....lol

Fred Thompson would not take any crap out of them either.....

Even though I like Jeb and he's been a GREAT governor for us here in FLA....I'm having a hard time imagining a third Bush gaining the office...It'd be like going through thesame campaign we just went through...although we fresh off it, we might feel differently in 4 years....hmmm.

Thompson seems to be gaining some momentum here....

When Fred Thompson speaks, people listen. He reminds me of a Teddy Roo Big-stick kinda guy...Fred Thompson, he'd spank Hillary. LOL

Their best candidate is Evan Bayh of Indiana but he'll never get the nomination though.

She's a staunch social conservative - particularly pro-life - from Colorado. A Santorum-Musgrave ticket would be a pro-lifer's dream -- although in reality would probably not be a good idea since the MSM would paint them as a single-issue ticket.

Tancredo-Musgrave would be a really nice ticket, but unfortunately would be unconstitutional.
