Who do you think the GOP Nominee in 08 will be?

[Senator Lamb]

Guiliani, Pataki, McCain, Romney, Aschcroft, Jeb, Rice, Robertson?

[ogsball]

1. Jeb hands down

[David Dunham]

3. Jeb announced today he will not run in 2008.

[Goldmund]

7. But then again, I've never heard a politician say they would run for...

...President four years ahead of time.

[ogsball]

20. But if they ask him nicely. . .

Face it Repubs can't

Think outside the Bush.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

28. If Chimpy "wins", he will have himself declared President for Life...

...and Jebbie will follow him somewhere down the road.

Elections will become a thing of the past, unless they're designed to work like the old Soviet style elections.

[MemphisTiger]

32. I don't think America would go for a dynasty...

I've heard people talking about Bill Frist from Tennessee. The 08' election is the whole reason the administration hung Trent Lott out to dry to get their golden boy in the spotlight.

[gatlingforme]

38. Interesting Frist will have to explain how he profits from abortion

procedures and is anti-abortion. That's a tough one for the GOP.

[MemphisTiger]

39. I thought Frist was a heart surgeon.

How did he benefit from abortions? I'm from TN and this would be a good argument for my office workers who are big time Frist supporting republicans.

[gatlingforme]

41. here is a link to view and pass on to your co-workers..... regarding this

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/809651/posts THis is a crappy reference...but it is true



http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=30124 - this is a reputable one....

[David Dunham]

2. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.

[Endangered Specie]

4. Adolf Hitler.

course, he's dead, so they'd find a representative in his place...

[MoJoWorkin]

10. Yep, and it will be the Terminator

[tedoll78]

5. I wonder if Frist will run.

?

[Mojambo]

14. Frist would have been my guess n/t

[MoJoWorkin]

6. Ahnuld

if they succeed in getting the amendment to allow it.:puke:

[mikehiggins]

8. None of the above

I think the GOP will go through a radical reshaping after the W debacle.

We may see a schism within their ranks between the suppressed moderates and the rampant radicals which could lead to a third party movement among the legitimate conservatives. It seems beyond any possibility that the neo-Fascists will give up the reins of the GOP but without the cover the moderates give them they will be exposed as the radical right-wing Christian-Talibans that they are.

Just a thought on this Sunday night.

[Senator Lamb]

11. McCain

you think McCain will try to be Teddy Roosevelt and if he wins the nomination or not?

[kokomo]

24. Poll shows 48 Percentage of all voters want McCain to run in 2008

Cleveland Plain Dealer also says that 47 Percentage of Republicans want to see McCain run. Maybe this is why John is playing so much kiss up to Republican powers of late.

[Goldmund]

9. A half of that crew would not fly with the fundies.

I say probably Jeb.

[sonicx]

12. i'm gonna guess santorum

it's speading.

[bemildred]

13. Bruce Willis. nt

[deadmessengers]

15. Forget Giuliani.

He might run, but he'll get his ass handed to him in the primaries. Think about it - a pro-choice, pro gay-rights, thrice-married Catholic from New York City who is widely known to have committed adultery while holding public office isn't exactly in line with the stated Repugnican core values, y'know? Besides, people can't even spell his name right.

I also noticed that one name has been left off virtually EVERYONE's list: former VP Dan Quayle. I think he'll run, and he just might get the nomination.

[GRLMGC]

25. Quayle's tried it before

and he didn't get the nom. What makes you think he would get the nom in 08?

[deadmessengers]

29. He didn't run

In 1996, he was thinking (very publicly) about running, but chose not to throw his hat in the ring after it became obvious that the Big Dawg was going to hand *somebody* their ass in the general election - he didn't want to be that guy.

I think the reason he might actually get the nomination is because he's a pretty inoffensive guy, who hasn't stepped on any toes lately, and has the experience of 2 national campaigns and 4 years as VP. He doesn't have the past baggage of Giuliani, isn't a political landmine like McCain, doesn't have the "Northeastern" label of Pataki or Romney, and is nationally known unlike Chuck Hagel.

On top of that, I think after the unmitigated disaster that has been the Chimp administration, I think the members of the non-theocratic wing of the Repugnican party are feeling a bit nostalgic for the days of Poppy Bush. All that adds up to Mr. Potatoe Head being a VERY viable candidate for the Repugnican nomination in '08.

[blackcat77]

16. It's wide open

Jeb would be a Bush Too Far. Rudy is too liberal for the big money Rad Right. Romeny is from Massachusetts for Gawd's sake! McCain is radioactive. Robertson -- uh, no. Rice? Well, that might happen under one circumstance -- if Kerry wins and has sky high approval ratings. Then they might look to pull an electoral end run to score points later down the road. But I don't think the Pubs are ready to vote for a black female in sufficient numbers to win. In fact, that might cause an insurrection in the deep south...

I think it'll be somebody that isn't even on the radar yet.

[Poiuyt]

17. Rick Santorum if the party stays conservative

I think the Bush family will be exposed for what they are in the next 4 years and that will eliminate Jeb.

[shraby]

18. If Bush wins this time will we have an '08?

[n2mark]

19. Please

Let's just get through this year!

[agates]

21. John Thune

Since he can't seem to win the Senate in SD? Rick Santorum?

[napi21]

22. You will have many Pub contenders.

Guilani, Frist, Jeb, Pataki, Santorum, and who knows who else?

I think if shrub loses this year, it's going to be a big emotional defeat for the neocons. They will surely re-group, bu I think it's gonna be a while.

[AP]

23. A sacrificial lamb. Ridge. Someone who keeps people thinking about fear

but who can't really win.

[madmom]

26. hopefully there will be no gop in 08 n/t

[Media_Lies_Daily]

27. If they win this one, Chimpy will eventually be declared...

...President for Life.

Anyone who believes that we will maintain any pretense of democracy if Chimpy retains control of the White House has not been paying attention.

[Zorra]

30. If Bu$h steals this election, he'll just retain the dictatorship.

GOP will cease elections.

[pen dragon]

31. Quayle

was one of the original signers of the PNAC document. And he's one rung higher than Dubya on the intelligence ladder.

Fug Quayle!

[VaYallaDawg]

33. Scary thought that!!

Comparing the intelligence of those two bozos. I'm not sure if you added up the two IQs you'd still get into double digits.

[troubadour]

34. McCain / Guiliani i heard

or Guiliani/McCain either way pretty powerful.

[Bridget Burke]

35. No, the crazy fundamentalist "Christians" in your party...

Would never support Giuliani.

[ClassWarrior]

36. A small, moldy potato.

24.

[leesa]

37. What a lineup of lowlifes! Probably steroid-boy unless we can put the

cabash on ANY future politicking for him. ALL of the above-named people should be in jail for treason.

[aeolian]

40. Samael,

Or "Lucifer" as he's known on da street.

[friesianrider]

42. Santorum or Jeb...

I heard some reason why they wouldn't run Jeb, but I forget now what it is - I'll have to find it.

Here in PA, there's lots of talk of running Rick Santorum (yes, the most evil man on the face of the planet).
