I’m not seeing any of those folks as strong candidates. Fred and Hunter would most likely have the same impact they had earlier — which is very little. Hunter particularly had no chance from the start.
Cheney, maybe, but he is a very divisive figure and he is a fixture of the Bush administration, and so carries a lot of Bush’s baggage, however unfair it might be.
Gingrich? Hmm, maybe.
“Mark who?”
I dunno...
Thompson and Hunter have already demonstrated that they couldn't muster enough Republican votes to stay in. It's unlikely that independents and Dems would consider them. Cheney is a polarizing figure and has a bad heart. Gingrich is even more polarizing and has lots of baggage. Racicot doesn't have enough name recognition. There are slim pickings this election cycle.
