Watts would be a great choice, but if he is put up as VP, it would certainly be cannon fodder to say he is an Uncle Tom (the servant in the massa's household). Regardless, IMHO, Cheney would do well to step down midway through T2 and make it possible for someone to make the GOP challenger stick. If it was Watts, he could run as president with someone (even perhaps from Mississippi!) moving into the VP slot.

I think Jeb has got great potential, but am very concerned about the dynasty charge. Will the masses let him ascend to the top? The next four years will be critical for him to move beyond FLA., and I don't see the media slander/pressure letting up off of GWBush anytime in the future - dirty nukes in big cities excepted...

I like Condi as well, but agree with many posters that the abortion plank MUST remain a benchmark for GOP candidates. It is a crucial difference between the two parties, and one that gives conscience to rational thought and the rule of law rather than that of the mob and the media. The Supreme Court and judgeships remain the most critical focus of every single election, terrorism or not; any pro-choice candidate will allow the court to stay insane.

As a realist, I do see Rudy being a key player nationally in the near future, period, should he choose to do so. A Guilani/Watts ticket may get traction; if it does come down to that, I'll take Guilani over any Democrat...

yeah, I was thinking that I would love for Rudy to run. I don't agree with his stand on abortion and he kind of has a not too clean past with his marriage but I do admire how he got tough on crime in New York and how he stood with his fellow New Yorkers after 911. I think he is a loyal American and wouldn't sell us out to the Europeans the way John the Weinie would. Oh and I like how he told the Saudi prince what he could do with his check to 10 million after the prince made a remark that we brought the attack on ourselves due to our foreign policy. That took guts on Rudy's part!!

In the Guliani made for TV movie, they portrayed Rudy as pro-life who had to compromise politically in order to be elected Mayor. According to the film, Rudy's position became "let the states decide." If this is true, and I'm not assuming that it is; is Rudy truly that pro-abortion?

I'm sure there are Freepers with more extensive knowledge of Rudy's statements, actions, etc. who can enlighten me.
