Well, then I have bad news for you, because right now, no Republican at all has a chance to beat any Democrat for the Presidency. Invading Iraq has made sure of that. The Republican Party has basically doomed itself. No candidate opposed to the Iraq war can win the primary, and no one who supports it can win the general election.
I imagine after September we may see a few of the 'electable' candidates start to sway on that. Then you'll have candidates that no longer support the police action but want to keep big government on one side and Rep. Paul on the other. Not even a choice then (although I do wonder how the hawks here will feel about their candidate flipflopping on the issue).
Rep. Paul is probably the only Republican that can beat the Democrat based solely on the polls against the police action in Iraq. Someone that not only advocates limited government but votes that way consistently as well? A hands down winner.
I disagree. We have 2 - 3 candidates who can win the election....Unless we let our party get split by sideshows and minor candidates who waste our time and sap energy from the party.
