Will the next GOP "star" come from a governors mansion? |
|
There's been some discussion of the repugs picking a new shining star that isn't tainted by the smell of clearing brush...
Seems to me the MO in the past has been to pick a governor.
Arnie's out cause he's not eligible to run, but I am sure there is some other repug governor that is getting grooming treatments from the party.
McCain and Ghoul-iani will probably run, but I doubt they will be the party's choice.
What do you guys think?

1. A couple governors for certain. |
|
Romney (Mass). Maybe Pawlenty (Minn). I'm sure there's another or two. I think they know that a second Bush has no chance.
I think Romney is Mckain and Guiliani's main competition in the primaries. At least at this point. I think Condi is damaged beyond repair. Colin has fallen from grace (or may have leapt).

2. I think McCain will win the nomination and he'll ask either |
|
Romney or Guiliani to be his running mate.

I think it'll be either McCain or Romney. If it's McCain he'll probably pick a more socially conservative partner, maybe Romney, not Guiliani. Same with Guiliani.

4. Governors make good presidential candidates. |
|
For one thing, they don't have congressional voting records that can be skewed and misrepresented. For another thing, they've done a very similar job, albeit on a much smaller scale. Aside from international relations (and some do even get involved in that) they have experience in many of the same issues that face a President: budgeting, education, social issues, working with a legislative body, etc.
