Some people here need to get real about this 2008 election. As much as we like some of these candidates, they're simply not going to win...the nomination, let alone the general election. Newt can't win. Tancredo can't win. Hunter can't win. Brownback can't win. (is he even running?) Huckabee can't win. Whether we like it or not, Obama and Mrs. Bill Clinton have achieved huge status in this country. Beating them won't happen with a run-of-the-mill milquetoast candidate. Agree and disagree. A milquetoast fop won't win against them. But, any one of those GOP you listed could do so, except for Tancredo. People keep acting as if name recognition at this point in time is all that matters, even though the primaries are a year away....
That being said, my choices are:
1) Fred Thompson
2) Duncan Hunter
3) Mitt Romney

American citizens should, at this point, be desperate for a clear headed conservative in possession of the keys to restore this country. So anyone who listens carefully for a candidate with the stature, substance, and dedication necessary to win will vote for Duncan Hunter.

What about Thompson's support of McCain's McCain-Feingold and McCain's amnesty bill with Kennedy. I heard he has somewhat recanted on the support of MF, but what about the amnesty?
I suppose if those are not your issues, then it doesn't matter.
He's not my first choice, but I will happily support him if he is the GOP nominee.
