I want to float an idea..Bush and Cheney have redefined the role of the President and the VP, as to sharing power in the administration...and it''s been for the good of the country. Rudi will have a problem with the conservative base of the GOP..we all know that..but could you see a situation where you have a ticket like , for instance...Rice/Guiliani...where Rudy does a Cheney..says that he will NOT run for president..he has executive experience..which Condi lacks..and he's a proven beaureaucratic infighter..I know they say that people don't vote for VP..but this could be the exception...
What's Rice's stand on the Second Amendment???
I'd love to see #13 Romney in! I'm only one degree of separation from him due to family connections.
Leaving my own personal preferences aside, I thnk that Condi or John McCain probably has the best chance of getting the nomination.
If Chuck Hagel ever gets nominated Republicans would be be able to claim they out-Deaned Dean by nominating the most unelectable jackass of all time.
Rudy Guiliani is a RINO & will never get votes in the primaries from states not on the east or west coasts. I think people in Iowa might be a little, well, surprised to learn he lived with two gay men during his divorce battle.
Bill Frist has the charisma of a wet sock. Charisma does matter.
Jeb!!!
Just to p!ss off the liberals, I'd go with
RUMSFLED/ASHCROFT '08!
But I'd happily support a Condi Tancredo ticket.

”Guns Before Butter.”
I would personally like that yes.
Never mind---I answered my own question:

Thanks be to Google.
As a Nebraskan, I would have serious reservations about Charles Hagel; if he is the Republican candidate, of course I would vote for him, but with reluctance.
It has nothing to do with his politics, which are conservative despite the "mainstream media" reporting as not being conservative; in fact, he is rather conservative.
It is just that when Charles Hagel went to New York, he became more "New Yorker" than native New Yorkers, forgetting the land, the people, and the values into which he had been born.
Nothing wrong with moving around--as God knows, I have done it plenty of times myself--but there is something badly wrong when someone forgets his "roots," his essential basic elementary identity.
Rice / Pawlenty............
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!
Apparently not. I suspect the Presidential nominee of the Republican party in 2008 will turn out to be somebody nobody is talking about now.
Powell would never see the light of day in any Republican primary, his views on afirmative action would be enough to sink him like the Lib he is.
Who is George Allen, and how conservative is he?
"Rice all the way."
Where does Rice stand on immigration, domestic spending, affirmative action, federalism, abolishing the income tax, and appointing strict constitutionalists to the bench? How conservative is she? Or do you support her for some other reason?
Mark Sanford or George Allen would both be excellent choices. Sanford is in that Slick Willie telegenic-Southern-governor mode, except that he's a solid conservative. Condi would be absolutely dominant, but I'd like to know more about her stands on domestic fiscal and social issues...at least we know she'd have foreign policy down pat.

Idealogy is not an option for a Presidential Election.
Condie and Colin are great people..but their appeal
would be stopped at the line.. color line..there are
still too many pseudosupporters who are not realistic,
Watch for the appeal and charisma in selecting a realistic
candidate...I would like to see Sen. Allen on the ticket..
maybe VP...at top....drum roll-drum roll-drum roll-
Jeb Bush. I know- he says not in '08. But there is a
lot of political capital to ascertain the next 4 years..Jake
