I promise, this is my last vanity (for a while!)...but I'm very keen to know FReepers views on this one.
With (former) Senator George Allen now on the electoral rotiserie and clearly not a contender for 2008, who is going to keep Hitlery out of the White House?
Is there another Ronald Reagan lurking somewhere in the Republican Party?
Who can inspire the conservative masses to renew their faith in the GOP and get off their bums and vote? Who can bring those people who elected Dubya twice back to the polls, and free the Congress from 'Rat control?
No longer can we rely on the "Nobody will vote for Mrs. BJ" defense. We need someone who can, and will beat her. Better still, we need someone who can kick her fat butt back to NY, Arkansas, Chicago or wherever the hell she's from this week.
Who will it be? Do we have a political saviour out there? Will conservatives roar again, and who will lead that roar?
Mitt
We've got Rudy Giuliani, but he's not so very conservative as we might like. But one thing about Rudy, his disdain for the MSM is iron-clad.
freepers will scream and yell, but there isn't time to develop a current "unknown" perfect conservative that everyone on FR wants, to emerge and be a national candidate in such a short time.
Tancredo
Duncen Hunter!
A pro-abortion, pro-homosexual GOP nominee will guarantee a 'Rat president.
Rudy ain't the answer!
Duncan Hunter....with a Michael Steele as VP, maybe.
This will answer a lot of questions:

Why not Frist?
Well, the one-issue, anti-immigrant voters got their wish. They taught the GOP a lesson by kicking out some of the most conservative Senators (Allen, Santorum). So now we're stuck with McCain, Guliani, or Romney as our nominees in 2008.
Well done, folks!
Shout it from the hilltops:
Obama has a sweetheart land deal problem back home.
It's been mentioned here on FR a number of times. Obama is dirty with a guy named Rezko, who also looks like he's going to take Illinois Gov. Blagojevich down as well.
The answer is that there're several dozen guys who could handle the task and the good news is that nobody has any sort of a lock on it. It'll be like an old style convention, first one anybody will have seen in decades.
NO MORE LIBERALS! Republicans acting like Democrats got us into this mess! Its time for a real conservative candidate. Keep in mind the opposition will cast any conservative that we could stand behind as some kind of "right wing extremist". So, suck it up. Do not move left, and stand up for what we know is right.
There is NO ONE with the stature of Ronald Reagan anywhere on the horizon.
Jeb Bush?
BULLSNOT! Mitt sucks! He's a Mass lightwiehgt dem with an R next to his name. Nobody wants another president from Mass, and it's my homes state.
Frist is a spineless piece of turd, with a proven track record as such.
I am for Rudy right now.
After going through a Governor's election along with a State Rep election by two Mormons, I wouldn't support Romney for anything. People can say what they want but it is my right to say no to Romney. You would have to be in our shoes here in OK to understand and I don't want to post it on an open forum, but I have had it.
LOL, I think this Bush killed it for his brother. In fact, what is up with all you people who want Jeb? I know he is a good governor, and I'm sure he's a swell guy, but WTF! Are the only three families entitled to rule the United Kingdom of America Bush, Clinton, and Kennedy? NO! Thats because we are not a monarchy, or an oligarchy, we are a Republic, The United States of America! There is just NO WAY I can vote for a Clinton, or a Bush for president. I know we can do better.
He so damn uninspiring. Hillary would probably win.
The question I believe was who is a conservative that people like. Sadly, he was the only person I could think of. I wouldn't even recommend my governor. No heroes, right now.
I'm all done with bush's, and any other RINO types. I ate it, and followed straight party vote, but I will certainly vote my ideals in the next primary. Mitt, rudy, mcpain will NOT get my vote!
I like Rudy but I can't vote for him for president.
McCain is even less inspiring. The only person I can think of now is Giuliani then. Hillary is a very polarizing figure, but I think Giuliani is a bit less so.
Amen! This royalty-fetish is idiotic. There are 300 million people in the US. Let's be a little less incestuous.
AD Reagan Conservative NO way not this generation maybe way down the future
I don't see President Reagan type to lead GOP in 2008
So for now Ronnie was da man still is as GOP guy
Yep. And he is a hawk. Hes tough as nails, charismatic, and he can beat Hillary.
Hes too bland. No spark there to attract voters. Hes somewhat of a RINO, too.
Look to the GOP governorships.
Oh, I would love that. Hes well loved by the Floridians. He has alot more charisma than GWB but hes a Bush. I think he would make a great president but I don't think America would stand for another Bush after what the libs have put America through this past 6 years.
Bobby Jindal, from Louisiana?
The Clintons would chew him up and spit him out.
You forgot anti- Second Amendment.
He couldn't run the GOP in the Senate. You want to let him run the country?
I can't. And I've lived in NY all my life.
Duncan Hunter or Tom Coburn
I don't know much about Hunter, but I reckon Coburn/Pence could be THE answer!
Mike Pence, if he'd sharpen up on illegal immigration and get his name out there.
Because he's nutless and spineless.
"Why not Frist?"
If you want someone with no testicles to run for POTUS, draft Condi.
"Coburn/Pence could be THE answer!"
I could get behind that one. But as Hunter is the only declared candidate right now, until someone better comes along, he's my guy.
I don't think Condi can possibly win against Hillary or even Obama. Bill Frist may be a bit spineless, but he is better than McCain. McCain will be 72 by 2008, that's pretty darn old. To me at least, Frist conveys a sense of competence.
