FR Poll ^

Who is your favorite Republican for President in 2008?

George Allen

Bill Frist

Newt Gingrich

Rudy Giuliani

John McCain

Mike Pence

Condoleezza Rice

Rick Santorum

Tom Tancredo

Undecided/Other

[Osage Orange]

Out of that list....I'd take Rice.

My reasoning...however flawed...is Rice would make the DemMarxistSocialistLyingLeftistLibs...the most crazy.

Rice is very smart...she's obviously a woman, and obviously black.

Last but not least..I think it a positive..that she HASN'T ever run for office. That could be used to her advantage....

BWDIK!!??

[MamaB]

Not this female.

[eleni121]

Gee whiz I'm glad I'm not the only one. Brownback is a true conservative...all the way.

[AmericanChef]

Allen, Santorum, Tancredo. Mix 'em up any which way.

[Jhensy]

Sen. George Allen

[jdm]

On the list are (broken down by position):

4 Senators (scratch all those since senators don't become Presidents)

2 Members of the House (1 Former Speaker)

1 Secretary of State

1 Former Mayor

My money is on someone in red (Pence, Tancredo, Gingrich).

There was another thread where a whole bunch of "FReepers" were putting forth McCain for POTUS.

I blasted 'em all and NONE responded. I think most are plants/trolls, just here to disrupt.

[F16Fighter]

Whoops! (McCain at 1.9%??)

See?? His "star power" comes from the MSM.

[staytrue]

romney/jeb bush

[Osage Orange]

Now if I could pick somebody off your list...I'd take Tom Coburn. As he would more than likely tick most of the good ol' boy's off in D.C.....which IMO...would be a good thing.

As the saying goes...."If you are taking flak, you are probably over the target"....

Best FRegards Jim,

"John McCain ... will pull a strong female vote I think."

Couldn't argue with that. McCain has a very friendly disposition and a kind looking face. That attracts female voters, especially.

MIKE PENCE 2008!!!!!

[JohnnyZ]

With Undecided/Other in 3rd place in both Coomposite and Member, maybe you ought to have a write-in space.

Maybe drop the lowest two each time this poll is resubmitted.

Or better yet, drop the two least likely to run.

[Clemenza]

Mike Pence

George Allen

Tim Pawlenty (he still might run)

I could live with Condy on the ticket, especially if she clarifies her stance on the 2nd Amendment (the amendment that guarantees all the others). I DO NOT want to see Rudy Giuliani (see my various posts on other threads why) as that would REALLY bring the GOP further to the left. The only way I could support McCain is if it came down between him and Rudy or him and Romney.

Sam Brownback
...........................................

I wonder why his name was left off? He's the best candidate far and away...

From that site:

# Allen AGREES with the following statements:

#Grant U.S. citizenship to children born in the US only if their parents immigrated legally.
# Increase the immigration quota for computer scientists and other information technology workers.
# Establish English as the official national language.v


Opposes
Immigration helps our economy-encourage it

From another site he gets a 'C' for illegal immigration

Michael Pence gets a 'b'.

Tom's an 'A' of coarse. I like Pence on this issue and his general demeanor towards the budget. Though for winning...I think it's Allen/Pence.

[Unkosified]

LMAO! That would be perfect. :)

[CharlieOK1]
