Jeb Bush/Condi Rice in 2008!
Hmm....Not from a lib or rino source, either.
Jeb is not running and he was pissed off at a poll today that said he was a good candidate for president. And I don't think Condi wants to either.
Frist, Guiliani, McCain, Other -- a pretty dismal list. I guess I would have picked Guiliani, too, given the choices. What's surprising is that the women "gushed" over him.
I just heard Neil Cavuto interview Tommy Franks. He asked the Gen. if a run in 2008 was in the cards. Gen. Franks said he didn't see it happening, but wasn't ruling it out. Hmmmm...
If it was a choice between the three of them Guiliani would be my pick!
Just more of the ol' brown-spoon stirring.
More to the point, why would anyone want Condi? She's not a politican and but rather a bureaucratic administrator.
Governor Tim Pawlenty if he wins in '06 or Senator John Thune.
I like Condi in the role that she has now but she is NOT presidential material.
eh...Hewitt's kinda conservative, it depends on the issue.
He is against CCWs for the unwashed masses.
He is against the Proposition / Initiative process in California (the same one that allowed us to oust the commie Gov. Davis)
He is an open borders guy.
Franks would be my first choice right now.
None of the early candidates mentioned really interest me like a Bush or a Reagan did in the past.
Our primary concern for 2008 is that at this time our top "candidates" are all liberals. I can see us in '08 making the same mistake that we made in '88, when we began to abandon the Reagan revolution and relegate conservatives to the fringe. The strength of the GOP is the conservative base. GOP leaders would do well to accept this fact.
I like it!
ick!
2 bushes are more than enough. and, i voted all 3 times for the bushes.
if hillary won in 2008, we could have 28 years of our lives run by the same 2 families.
in a country that rebelled against royals and aristocrats.
LOL! I hope Hugh meant that he repolled the audience, not repelled.
It is true that Hugh Hewitt is not a Lib or a RINO, but he is a man who thinks it is better to put loyalty to the GOP ahead of loyalty to conservative principle. For example, during the California recall he was a big backer of Arnold and was unsparing toward those who backed the more qualified, more intelligent, and much more conservative candidate for governor, State Senator Tom McClintock.
As for 2008, I sure do hope that a better candidate than those three emerges. Rudy is a liberal on social issues and a hyper-liberal on immigration. McCain seems to think his base is the press. Frist is a nice guy and fairly conservative, but he's a dull cipher. I think nominating any of these guys would be a disaster.
