In reference to a list of potential nominees in 08, I will concur that Owens should be the front runner. However, if GWB loses next year (and I hope not), I think Jeb should take a shot at it in 2008; mainly because I believe he is the most conservative member of the Bush family. Also, Jeb and Owens were each given a grade of 'A' by the Cato Institute in terms of the way their respective states are being run, and were the only ones to receive an A. If GWB is re-elected, I think Jeb ought to run for the Senate in 2006 against Bill Nelson. He would be quite an opponent for Nelson. One name that hasn't come up yet IMO is former VA governor and current US Senator George Allen. Allen would have great credentials to his being a former governor and US Senator. He is also chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, and if the Republicans gain seats in next year's elections; I would take a hard look at George Allen. A little trivia for you Washington Redskins fans. Allen's dad, George Allen, Sr. was a former coach of the Redskins in the 1970s. You Redskins' fans may want to give him some brownie points there. My top two picks in 2008 would be Bill Owens and George Allen. Any takers on that? Feel free to post.
