If only either Duncan Hunter, Sr., Tom Tancredo, or Fred Thompson, all solid conservatives, were the final choice for ‘08 POTUS on the GOP side instead of “maverick” John McCain! I’m also curious as to if either Duncan Hunter, Sr., Tom Tancredo, or Fred Thompson would of seriously picked Sarah Palin to be their VP (not that it really matters now)?
These are truly strong Conservatives, but this year with Repos being "on the run," the media would have crucified them all, and Obama would get elected. With McCain's maverick status (like Lieberman) he has the appeal to draw in more of the middle ground voters. Palin's bombshell surprise candidacy has knocked the media on their asses. This is probably the only ticket that really stands a chance of beating the world's choice for America's President.
