... or Rudy Guiliani. Not my first choice (pun intended) but still a serious possibility.
I think he's too busy touring with the village people.
I thik Powell is going to run. I uncertain that he could run away with the primaries but In my opinion he would win against anyone in the rat party during the general election.
The news media made a lot of hype about Dubya not asking Powell to return for duty after the 04 election, but I'm unconvinced that there is any bad blood between Powell and Dubya. It seems to me that having Powell publicly announce his desire to remain SoS and Dubya's public announcement of Powell's replacement could be smoke and mirrors to deflect attention elsewhere.
I'd vote for Powell, but I wish Jeb was running because he could easily win the nomination and the general election.
