Who does have a chance? I see Republicans not particularly enthused with the media-anointed triumvirate of McCain, Giuliani, and Romney. I wouldn’t be surprised if none of them gets the nomination. Who’s left? In the recent polls I’ve seen, only Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, and Tom Tancredo placed (>1%). Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich take a significant portion of the poll, but neither man has declared his candidacy. What if neither ever does? Their share of the vote will go somewhere—and probably not to any member of the media-anointed triumvirate.
I don’t like McCain because of his lengthy Senatorial record and associated personality disorder. I’ve rejected Giuliani as unacceptably pro-death. And I don’t trust Romney the “conservative” or find him particularly electable. I’m searching for a candidate whom I can support, and I suspect that many members of the conservative Republican base share my sentiments.
Ok Ok I know it’s early (at least people keep saying that) but when I look at the polls and the money he’s raised...It ain’t gonna happen.
As for McCain! My mother has a better chance than him...and she’s been dead for ten years.
