Who do you think the rethug candidate will be in 2008??

[The Straight Story]

Might be a good time now to scope out the main people we see as candidates and start keeping an eye on things they are doing. Slap together a small data base of facts and figures and keep it rolling until they run (utilizing google alerts, etc).

[Clark2008]

1. Frist or Allen

I hope Frist.

I'd love to see that cadaver run against someone like Wes Clark who's fit and trim - oh yea - and not completely INSANE!

[FreedomAngel82]

13. I don't think it'd be Frist

I think he has blown his chances a few times in the Senate such as with Bolton, stem cell bill and the filibuster ordeal that happened. And I don't think it'd be McCain either. I can't think of anybody else besides Allen.

[DU9598]

2. Cheney/Bush

Dick and Jeb, or if Hillary runs and gets the nomination it could be Cheney/Dole. They don't like new names on their ticket.

[Caleb]

3. Allen/Rice

Just a shot in the dark.

[onehandle]

6. Not Rice. No way.

The South would revolt.

[TroubleMan]

4. It's probably going to be McCain

nt.

[mitchtv]

5. McCain/ Dole

or McCain/some conservative with a moderate face

[BlueIris]

8. Your second guess is better. That's my rationale, too.

Mostly 'cause Dole is actually, in my view, too moderate (and too good) for McCain at this time. I actually respect Bob Dole. And from me, that's saying something.

[mitchtv]

10. Liddy Dole, not the fossil

sorry

[BlueIris]

12. Ohhhhh. And--HEY. Don't insult my beloved Bob Dole, now.

I don't want to have to cut you.

[BlueIris]

7. McCain/Thompson.

Runner up: Rice/Frist. Or Frist/Rice, I can't decide which.

[FreedomAngel82]

14. It won't be Rice

I don't think the men in the party who are in the administration would like that. :shrug: Just looking at how they use her says a lot.

[snowbear]

9. Candy Crowley said Mitt Romney is in NH snooping around..

So he'll probably be running on the R-side.

On the Dem side, she said John Edwards and Bill Richardson (NM) are hanging out there too.. (It was on Friday's show but they re-ran it again today..)

Dayum.. they're all getting early starts!

[Sgent]

11. I think the VP will be

E Dole or Condi.

As for pres, if he (barf) wins in '06, I could see Santaroum. I would LOVE this. We would have the ability, assuming someone like Clark or Dean was the candidate (not another Clinton), to hand them a defeat like they haven't had since Barry Goldwater.

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Dean won't run

He said at the beginning of this year he wasn't going to run if he got the chair. :shrug:

[FrenchieCat]

16. Romney/Jebby '08

[baldguy]

17. Greg Stillson

or someone like him.

[OneBlueSky]

18. unless I miss my guess, it will be Bush . . .

not as a candidate for election, mind you . . . but as the incumbent who will remain in office as elections are suspended during our "great national crisis" . . . don't know what the crisis will be just yet, but you can bet next month's rent that it's coming . . . and sooner rather than later, imo . . .

19. Jeb....

IS the one.
who's going to run..
