This sounds good to me. I understand the guy understands the value of less government.
New to the community here. Looks like a fun place to talk.
I thought I'd start a discussion of possible GOP candidates to replace (hopefully) W. To start, here is a list off the top of my head:
Chance of running in ()
Dick Cheney (highly unlikely) Colin Powell (highly unlikely) Condi Rice (below average) George Pataki (high) Jeb Bush (high) Bill Owens (high) Rick Santorum (average) Bill Frist (average) Rudy Giuliani (below average) George Allen (average)
My favorties are Bush and Owens. I'd be shocked to see either Cheney or Powell run. Rice, if she didn't run, would be an interesting VP candidate. Imagine how angry the Dems would be that a Republican would be the first black/woman VP. Pataki wouldn't go over well in the south. Bush has all the fundraising power in the world. I don't think he has the skills of his brother though. Owens is by far my favorite. Without a doubt the best governor in the country. Santorum and Frist are probably VP candidates. Giuliani probably isn't qualified IMO but a well known and liked figure. Allen is probably a VP candidate also. Plus I'm not sure congressmen can do well in presidential election anymore.
Thoughts?
