I’d say that Huckabee, Romney and Guiliani are proven as chief execs, by being being either Governor of a state or mayor of a large city, and in those roles performing well.
I could vote for two out of the three.
That's a very good point. He is also poised and, dare I say, classy in his way. I think he's a Liberal who dabbles with Republican principle, but he is well-spoken and has a quality of, for lack of better word, elegance. Yet I think he'd be one of the few candidates who could lose to Hillary. She's not that hard to beat, IF she gets the Dem nomination!
I get irritated with Rush often enough, but I'll give him this: he welcomes me to think my own thoughts. I am glad he hasn't seemed to lean one way or the other for any of the primary candidates (with the recent exception of Romney tossing him under the bus!). I like that he has held his cards to his chest. I am disappointed that Hugh Hewitt and Ann Coulter object to Fred on such weak stuff -- Romney advocates his own Nanny State national health care, for Pete's sake!!! As for Laura Ingraham -- if that's an ally, who needs enemies? Her voice is deep, but her message is shrill.
No wonder your observation, ... further away that candidate is from the Texan draw and swagger .... It isn't like Republican pundits haven't made their disdain loud and clear and kept any praise to themselves. And the MSM gages GOP stands through them. They see no praise for Bush and all complaints from pundits in his own party! How great is that when they're running Hillary Vader, the most repellent political personality in history?
Yeah, it takes a real wimp to be married with a kid while still in high school, work his way through law school, be such a good DA that they do a movie about it and hire him to play himself, and from there discover and do pretty well in an acting career, but to be lawyer enough at heart to run for and win Senator ...
Nah. Not a tough guy at all.
Well said.
Does Liberty Valance know anything about being president? No. Absolutely nothing. Nada. Zilch. But at the end of the day he knows his single malts and has great taste in music. That’s more than I’ve ever gotten from anybody else I’ve ever voted for. (Oh, and I get to be the ambassador to Jamaica or some other really cool place to scuba dive and party. You folks can all come visit, of course.)
Yep. I'm screwed either way.
Ah. The nectar of the Almighty's blessings. I witnessed as my dad sat down one time in front of five unmarked shot glasses of five different single malts at a tasting event. By taste and taste alone, he correctly identified all five of them. Totally blew everybody away and he walked away with a bottle of Glenfiddich as a prize.
He’s the best we’ve got unfortunately... What can I say?

Bump. The real conservatives are not welcomed by the establishment though.
That's a fact.
