Ranking the GOP contenders (Hunter at bottom)
MSNBC ^ | 10.10.07

Posted on 10/10/2007 6:15:33 AM PDT by meandog

Rudy Giuliani Former New York City mayor Last Ranking: 1 Stars are aligning. It's not his nomination to lose, but there's a clear path to win for him. The latest NBC/WSJ poll shows that three out of four GOP voters care more about issues Giuliani can prove he's conservative on (terrorism, taxes and education/health care) than issues he struggles with re: conservatism (moral values and immigration).

Mitt Romney Former Massachusetts governor Last Ranking: 3 After languishing a bit for the last month, it seems Romney's camp has a plan for how to tackle Rudy: Ignore Thompson and try to make this a two-person race again.

Fred Thompson Former Tennessee senator Last Ranking: 2 If anyone is in need of a re-launch, it's Thompson.

John McCain Arizona senator Last Ranking: 5 His base (the media) seems desperate to deal him back in, but what's going to happen to McCain if he loses in Iowa to Paul and Huckabee?

I believe that John Cleese even ran for mayor somewhere in California, if anyone knows anything about this.

Sheriff of Turley?

I’d take Duncan Hunter in second place. Lots of candidates don’t have name recognition before they do have it.

I'm thinking the Dims will run Hitlery / Richardson. That brings the Democrat base, many female "independents". Added to plus the "illegals" vote. Added to the usual Democrat vote fraud, and combined with $500 million in relentless fraudulent advertising, this ticket could get close to 50% and the prize.

The Republicans need to activate the full base or fugettaboudit. Giuliani will not do this, and McCain is washed up. Hunter, like Huckabee and the other no-names will not make it. Romney is sharp (an unfortunately, a NE Rino), and Thompson has the stage presence and conservative ideology, but he's just ramping up. I see Thompson as the best choice for motivating the base. We need a VP who could bring Florida, Ohio, or one of the other big swing states to offset the possible loss of Texas.

"(Hunter at bottom)"

Then that means he is the most conservative choice...

Believe the media... believe a lie.

Microsoft and GE love China. Of course they undercut Hunter.

How about Rick Santorum to pull in Pa.?

(And, BTW, if the GOP loses Texas they will have lost 40 states IMO)
