Do you think for a second that Hillary has a shot at winning any Southern state? I surely do not.

Me neither. Thats why I stick by my belief that Rudy is the only one who can beat her. Because of NY. Hatred of Hillary trumps hatred of liberal Republicans in the South. Romney cannot win Ny in the general. Neither can McCain. Only Rudy can and even that is not a given.

And the experience that would make Bush a good CIC is what?
~~~

As proven by his record:

Integrity
Conviction
Resolve
Steadfastness

“A One Time Deal” A promise from a politician. And you believed it.

You of course, have lived a flawless life, having always seen the truth, never been disappointed because you never fall for anything. Your perception and intellect towers above all others.

My God, what are You doing down here on Earth?

Really? Then how do Democrats ever win statewide races down there? And they do, you know. A guy like Romney has a distinct disadvantage in the South in that he's an elite Yankee with a liberal record. Why on earth would southerners vote for a guy like that? Many wouldn't.

With Romney or Rudy on the ticket the South is in play and that's BAD news for the GOP.

If McCain is the Republican nominee, FRed would endorse him...

If he is not the Republican nominee, McCain will try to be the Demonrat VP candidate just as he did before.

If FRed drops out to endorse McCain, he needs to do it soon in order to help his friend, because FL looks like a close 3-way race: Giuliani, Romney, McCain.

If we knock McCain out before or at the convention, he might go for a 3rd party bid with Colin Powell as his veep.

Totally agree. Just a matter of where we get screwed the most. Immigration, Defence, Taxes,

It's gonna be a bumpy ride!

See, that’s playing defense. That’s hunkering down in a trench hoping not to get over-run.

Better to lay offense. With Romney, a grab can be made for Michigan’s Electoral Votes. And California’s.

Let’s let the Democrats play defense for a change defending their trench.

Hey genius--if Rudy thought he could beat Hillary in NY, he'd be a senator right now....

If McCain goes third party, just MORE proof the man was never a republican, let alone conservative.

Starwise, I have noticed this discoloration for the past week. I assumed something is going on with the growth or swelling on his left jaw.

Excellent post. Bush IS a conservative. I hated, absolutely hated, his Amnesty crap and his whole Islam is a religion of peace nonsense. But he did wonderful things to keep this country safe, maybe not enough but far more than any other option would have, and he appointed kick ass SC judges.

I’m disappointed in this Administration but I’m glad we’ve had it for close to 8 years because the other option is unthinkable.

If Mccain gets the nomination I fear we will see a replay of 1996 where and old GOP war hero near the end of his career was "given" the party nomination because it was his "time"...

I have nightmares of a replay of the 1996 debates where Hillary stands over Mccain as he cowers in his chair like some codger in the old folks home from the mean nurse, just like Dole did in 96.

And where, in any of those posts, does it indicate she went to the hospital TODAY?

You figure it out!

Prayers for Fred Thompson’s mother.

Do you know when she went into the hospital, and why?

No- he didn’t say which hospital and he didn’t say what is wrong with her.
