Who's Bill Owens?
Governor of Colorado. Very Reagan-esque, quite conservative (more so that W), head and shoulders better than the other 2008 contenders (McLame, Giuliani, Pataki, Frist). About a year ago, he had some marital difficulties that might have hindered his chances, but he and his wife have reconciled.
Here's some info:

See, I wasn't the only one who never heard this name before.
What REPUBLICAN job does he hold?
