Any that would vote for Frist is a flaming RINO.. a cross dressing flaming RINO... Really, you mean to tell me theres that many RINOS in the republican party?..

If so; the republican stepped in something.. and-.. well you know..

...there is just no one who stands out for the GOP at this time.

If Jeb Bush runs, all bets are off.

Giuliani is not electable within the GOP, he is a product of the leftist media and RINOs trying to hijack the primary.

Pence is strong where President Bush is strong. But where Bush is weak, Pence is still strong. He will not compromise American interest. Don't ask him to step down to stand where the President stands.

Therein lies the problem...Rudy is not electable in the GOP but he would be the most electable among the general population...and one of the candidates in this straw poll may be electable within the GOP but they won't be among the general population.

No, not even among the general electorate either. He is just a foil for the left and will not get core GOP votes. Issues matter and Mr. Giuliani is on the wrong side of too many (sodomy is not a family value).

Jeb Bush would wipe the floor with anyone the Democrats hoist up and with any primary opponents.

There is plenty of time and this left wing media driven rush to push the Republican party is an attempt to hide what they are really afraid of... a united GOP behind Jeb Bush.

GWB and his family is a lot more popular than a lot of people want to admit.

I like this tagline: “Fake polls do not translate into real votes.”

Lamest pack of offerings sicne Dole won the nomination. The very thought the Frist could WIN a GOP straw poll..even one as unimportant as this is just depressing. If this is the best the GOP can do in 08 then we deserve to lose.

For you, I would not doubt that...

The reality is Giuliani is actually put out there to help Hillary like in her first senate race. He should have run against her for the current senate election if he was serious about defeating her. He is not, he is a liberal.

I would put Bush family values up against Clinton family values any day. Let the chips fall where they may.

Jeb is a designated hitter and you obviously don't like it. Too bad.

I would love to watch the squirming liberal maggot Tim Russert eating a big moose-turd pie, with his little board on election night as we see another Bush president-elect.

Nearly every time I see a photo of John McCain, I think of Charlie Chaplin.

I don't see the resemblence to Chaplin,
but as John Travolta continues to rack up the years,
I'm beginning to wonder if HE is related to McCain.

The republican party is in trouble if it can't find someone who can excite the voters at a time when so many are disgusted with the party.

"Republican Senate leader Bill Frist of Tennessee won a straw poll on Saturday of party activists choosing their early favorite in the 2008 White House race."

Sending Bill Frist up as the Republican Presidential candidate after Bush is tantamount to sending Al Gore in after Bill Clinton. Why is it that the party in power always send in the weakest man to challenge the out of power party after a popular leader (i.e. George Bush after Ronald Reagan, algore after Clinton, etc.)? It's like they intentionally set their party up for failure. Frist is weak, ineffectual, and a RINO.
