>>>>GWB will be remembered as a great president ...
Maybe, but that isn't the point. The current POTUS doesn't support limited government and besides, Bush is in the twilight of his Presidency. Even with a GOP controlled Congress, the federal bureaucracy has been expanded more in the last five years then at any time in the last 40 years.
You're right, there will never be another Reagan and come 2009 conservatives maybe missing Bush43 in the White House. But this is all about advancing a conservative agenda for the future of the Republican Party. Similiar to the conservative agenda that was advanced by Reagan.
Mike Pence, and to a lesser degree Mark Sanford, Tom Coburn, and Tom Tancredo could all make excellent, more-or-less Reaganesque candidates in 2008, with proper support and backing, starting NOW.
Strongly preferring Pence at this moment.
GWB is NOT in the twilight of his presidency. He has 3 full years left. He will continue to reshape the ME and beyond, he will reform Social Security (THAT DREADED THIRD RAIL) once and for all, he will continue to cut taxes and likely revamp the tax code, he will reign in the growth of the federal budget, he will tackle the illegal immigration problem, he will continue to slap the UN like a red headed step child, he will continue with robust military spending (aside from the war) and he will set the table very nicely for a competent Republican to win in 2008. Not bad for a 2nd term.
