Someone will need to explain why a term and a half senator with a mediocre (at best) record deserves to be seen as the great conservative hope.

Do you want a gun grabber like Giuliani or Romney in the White House? They are both slick Northeastern liberals. McCain is tanking and not that great. Every other declared candidate is a one or two percenter. Thompson is in the top tier without even declaring. So those are the realistic choices. Which of those four do you want to see in the Oval Office in 2009?

Actually I want someone with the manhood to stand on the stage and answer tough questions.
