With the lack-luster field of Republicans currently running, there is NO hope (that's not "giving up early", it's REALITY) to defeat the Hildabeast.
With the MSM and the Looney Left having been drumming the Hildabeast tune into weak skulls for the past 7 years, and with constant fawning over her and keeping her name "in the news", while she avoids ANY hard questioning and is going to avoid every debate she can, there is no way to defeat her with those factors.
Unless some candidate appears, who is TRULY more conservative than any current potential nominee, you will have the Hildabeast in '08.
Rudy could beat her, although I'd only barely want him to.
McCain? No way.
Romney? Maaa-aaa--ybe.
Newt? Probably not, and that's sad because he'd do wonders for America.
Hunter? Eeeh, if he gets some name recognition, and I mean PRONTO, it could happen.
Brownback? Pu-leeze.
