The Republicans desperately need someone who is charismatic, experienced, and doesn't cause conservatives to tear each others guts out. I'm having difficulty thinking of who could fill that role.

The theme for the 2008 Presidential election will be for someone who can "heal" the country, unite the people, end the animosity.

Of course, that is much easier promised than done. This country is so polarized on many vital issues that unity is nearly impossible. Either you want to take the war seriously or you don't. Either you want open borders and amnesty or you don't. Either you want abortion and a welfare state or you don't. Etc, etc. I can't imagine anyone from left to right who will not be scorned by half the People.
