If Dan Quale is smart, and he is, he won't run again because he has no chance to win the nomination. IMO
The media has portrayed him as a laughing stock since the day Bush 41 picked him for VP.
Exactly, why does the liberal media always stick its nose into Republican political affairs?
okay name one...'cause George Will hasn't come up with one...
sw
Rudy would have to renounce his views on abortion, gay marriage, and immigration in order to get the nomination. I don't think he intends to do that.
On the other hand, he would be tough with terrorists.
I admire your confidence. Cheney is about the only politician out there who's polls are lower than the president's.
If you had stopped right there, you would still be correct.
It has been 14 years since Quayle has left the public's eye. A great campaign can change long-ago perceptions. How does it go? A week is an eternity in politics? How about Nixon's 8 years? Quayle can reemerge if he wants: it's upto him. Either way it's certainly not upto you.
Duncan Hunter of San Diego is looking better.
Due to immigration concerns..I could not vote for Guilliani,McCain or Romney. If it was them or Hillary..I think I would suggest that Hillary would make things so bad that it would swing the country back towards a conservative...
I would love to see Jeb run but I think Barbara Bush was correct when she said "The country has had enough of the Bushs for now".
well if you have someone better, don't be bashful, name 'em!
Jeb seems like a very good candidate, but I guess he really isn't interested right now.
Run Cheney run.
How about Cheney/Hunter for '08. Has a nice ring to it don't you think?
All you Cheney people...STOP DREAMING...stop it. It'll never happen. At least waste your time here by discussing things that actually have a chance of happening.
Quayle cannot be elected for because of one, simple word:
POTATOE
and that's the long and the short of it.
How 'bout Cheney/Rice....cause ya know the 'Rats will run Hitlery/Obama
It won't be Cheney and he couldn't win if it were. Newt is too much a policy guy, he'd be a great VP. Condi Rice could win, but she's not expressing any ambition, plus she's got time. Romney is pretty much unknown.
Neither the RNC nor DNC cultivate a deep bench or have developmental plans to nurture candidates who can win elections years in the future, instead they just let big money and politics sort it out. Planning for political succession is no different than succession planning in a business. Failure to do it puts the enterprise at risk of extinction.
If the R nominee turns out to be McCain or Guiliani, it may precipitate the rise of a Conservative Party. WAnd that would be a good thing!
Never say "never!"
and of course if you have someone better, name 'em!
