Perfect solution.

If Rudy isn’t on the GOP ticket, I will be as well.

I find an Obama candidacy laughable. What’s he done? He’s two years into his first term. He’s written a couple books that have sold moderately well. What legislation has he sponsored? I don’t know. In any event, TWO YEARS experience? Come on, folks.
He’s a name because the Dems hitched their wagon to him at the 2004 DNC. He was the keynote and they all wore ‘OBAMA’ buttons. Why? Because he’s black and young and they are Democrats, that’s why.
As for the GOP: It’ll be McCain. That’s all they’ve got. Romney? Won’t win a general election. Guiliani? Won’t win the nomination. Rice? Not interested and has no chance. By the way, It’s not the “racists” that won’t vote for Condi. It’s blacks. They won’t vote GOP and it’s especially been proven that they won’t vote for a black Republican.
McCain will struggle in the Primaries but get the nod, simply because there is no opposition. No strong opposition anyway.
McCain vs. Cliton and it’ll be McCain in a landslide.
Then the GOP will take back Congress and the Senate in 2010. Give the liberals time to fuck things up. Republicans can sit back and pick 'em apart ala the Dems the last 6 years. Only it will be a quicker turnaround because the country is fundementally Conservative. That’s why most of the Dems - with the exception of Sherrod Brown from Ohio - that were elected are actually Republicans in disguise. [/quote]
Agree with just about everything you’re saying. I think, and sincerely hope, McCain will be our next president, however distasteful seeing him speak at Liberty University is.
Don’t understand why anyone is enamoured with Condi, apart from foolish demographic reasons. You guys realize she has been in over her head for some time now, failed as National Security Adviser to moderate between State and Defense, which led to many if not most of the problems in securing and rebuilding Iraq. Bush allegedly told her to flirt with Rumsfeld to get him to return her calls, for goodness sake.
Likewise Obama. Can definitely see him as a VP candidate, but the guy’s just right of Mao politically, and again, two years in office.
My big fear is that the GOP takes the wrong lessons from this election, remains in the thrall of evangelicals, and the man who makes it out of the primaries is someone like Sam Brownback.
And Brad, it looks like you started this thread to get your laughs mocking potential GOP candidates, but who are the Democrats throwing out there? Hillary? Good luck. Obama? Unlikely. Mark Warner backed out right? Am I missing anyone? Because it’s a far, far weaker field to my eyes than the one the GOP will potentially be fielding.
