I think we have about a year or "less" to find a suitable

candidate for President. Hitlery is running now. The

question becomes how big a head start do we let her get.If

it's not Rudy and certainly looks like it will not be Arnold

please someone tell me who has what it takes. Massive name

recognition, lots of charisma, likability in 90% of our

party and at least some of the other party and

independents, etc., etc. Who is this man? He needs to be

fully visible on the radar screen "now".

Cheney could resign in a couple of years. That way President Bush could pick a new VP. Being a VP would give whomever it is leg up on Hillary.

You need not panic..Hillary will be our best fundraiser..The problem with her is that people DO recognize her..We'll take even more states unless we put on a real lemon if she is the nominee..I fear the dems won't select her.

I have said in other threads that the Pubbies need to come up with a superstar-type candidate to face Hillary, because the MSM will fawn all over her.

Most of the recognizable Pubbie names would not win again her. [Sorry, but that's the truth. Another Bob Dole type won't make it against another Clinton.]

Also, don't think for a moment that, just because conservatives don't like her, that she doesn't stand a change. She is the Dem's superstar. [If a candidate the caliber of John Kerry could cause such a tight election, Hillary will make 2008 more of a nail-biter than 2000 was, or run away with it.]

There is no one right now who can beat Hillary except Rudy but alas he will never be nominated.

I’m just getting caught up on the thread but will offer this anyway. Look at current state governors to find the GOP candidate for 2008. No senator has won since Kennedy. Also, governors have experience running something other than an office staff and have had to make executive decisions, unlike the dictatorial representatives or senators. Rudy Giuliani could win nationally but he would not win a GOP primary across the nation, so he would be a long shot.
