Reply #49: Obama/Warner vs. Guiliani/Jeb [View All]

[Awsi Dooger]

The GOP would be nuts to leave Jeb off the ticket in '08. I know the conventional wisdom is otherwise, but that's the same conventional wisdom that dismissed Giuliani's chances a few months ago. If you put Jeb on the ticket, that all but wraps up Florida. The rest of the country won't have any trouble distinguishing Jeb from his brother, especially since Jeb comes across as much more competent in speeches and public appearances.

More than six months ago I mentioned I took 10/1 on Guiliani winning the GOP nomination. There were dismissive remarks at the time but they have somehow diminished. I post on several balanced sites and the right wing posters love Rudy. That's what I noticed beginning almost a year ago and it has only gotten more distinct. Thompson would be very formidable but otherwise I can't see anyone denying Rudy the nod.

I hope it's Obama or Edwards above Hillary, simply for electability purposes. Warner makes by far the most sense for VP, since adding Virginia dramatically changes the electoral college national dynamic and I don't think we can win Virginia in 2008 without Warner on the ticket.
