When Will Newt and Rudy start announcing? (thats the kind of thing that I'm wondering)
Good question indeed, I wish I knew!
I think this election helps Rudy. With a number of conservatives(Allen, Santorum, Talent, Burns going down) and the Dems with Hillary and Obama seizing mometum, the GOP NEEDS a national candidate with star power and ability to pick off Reagan Dems and win a few blue states.
I just don't see a Romney/Frist/Gingrich etc... doing that.
Giuliani with a strong conservative as VP(Gingrich/Hunter whoever)could be a good ticket.
And don't forget Duncan Hunter. He's my main man now.
