No, I'm thinkin' if Hillary gets the DNC nod in 08, we need to put Condy Rice up there, and if she doesn't win, we'll play the race card!!!
Are not.
McCain/Guliani will be the 2008 ticket.
I don't like it too much, and it is the day after the election in 2004, but that's how I see it coming down.
nutshell analysis: rudy won't make thru the primaries; evanglicals own the process and rudy is way to pro abortion and he knows this.
The last thing the Republican Party needs to do now is offer up a pro-abortion, anti-gun RINO.
You want to see the Conservative base sit out an election? Keep this crap up.
And I have a slogan.
"Its a white house blackout cuz they gotta keep the blackout the white house."
I totally agree.
Guillianni as a social liberal may "sell" in NYC, but he'll fail miserably in the heartland of America.
Sorry, but it is way too early for that and I have not gotten enough sleep to think about it. Right now I am just deeply grateful to Rudy for tirelessly campaigning for our president. He is a good man. We can discuss his presidential qualities later.
I think Rudy needs to run against Hillary when she comes up for re-election to the Senate in 2006. He would do much better running in a more liberal state than trying to convince conservatives nationally to support him.
You're right.
McVain was the co-author of the unconstitutional CFR, defender of John F. Kerry, and overall schmuck. The base won't forget that...ever.
Gosh you are a glutton for punishment? I need to get over the '04, take a few days breather, relax, ya know?
Really honest people don't apologize ~before~ they do something.
Lay off on 08. Have we ~nothing~ to do now for the next 4 years but campaign for 08?
I wanna see a Condoleeza vs hillary smackdown. lol
McCain is probably in the best position right now for 2008 except for his age may be a factor. He has the MSM in his pocket and he does have some devoted followers. I am not one but there are people who like him.
I agree, I'm giving election 08 a few weeks to simmer. Besides my heart can't take any more stress right now.
I will not vote for Rudy. The Republicans will ignore their gun owning Christian base at their own peril, Red Queen or not.
Then we will lose the White House in 2008.
Rudy is no conservative and McCain has offended so many conservatives with his flip-flopping back and forth across the aisle (does that man have ANY core principles!?) that he can't win with Republicans.
You win by LEADING. The cause, right now, is conservatism. We need a conservative leader not a mushy moderate or a liberal. Bush is just barely conservative enough, especially on most social issues, to have enlarged his base. We need MORE conservatism, not less. If not, we'll lose.
