At this time, my money's on Fred Thompson, who appears sincerely conservative and has no real reason to betray his word. Of course, he hasn't declared yet and might decide not to. We shall see.

I agree, and boy, does this post sound familiar.
Go, Duncan Hunter.
Political forces move very slowly. Hearts and minds are won over years and generations. The Left dominated the media for many decades in a way that they no longer do. Most of us Republicans grew up in a world where conservatism was passed around primarily by word-of-mouth and only found on the better pages of certain magazines. Young people looking at politics today have a very different environment. Their teacher may be preaching Marxism, but they will get on any site they want at home. The repeated failure of liberal talk radio probably says a lot about liberalism's prospects in this environment. We have not yet seen the full force of what talk radio and the internet will bring to our side. I think the shaming of Dan Rather and the defeat of the illegal amnesty bill are just early victories in the progress we might see in coming years.
