Republican Candidates?

Question

Who is the strongest Republican candidate for a 2008 Presidential run based on the early names that are surfacing?

Answer 1

Well, I like Conde Rice and John McCain.

Answer 2

The big two, are John McCain and Rudi Giuliani. But interestingly, they both have problems.

Giuliani is socially quite liberal -- at least relitive to those voting in the Republican primary. In particular, he is pro-choice. If he made it through the primary, he probably would win, but because the republican base is so conservative they probably won't pick him.

McCain had a similar issue 6 years ago when he ran against bush in the primary -- he was not conservative enough, so so lost the nomination. Since then he has been working on being more conservative, so that he can appeal to the base (like speaking at Falwell's Liberty University, agressively backing ultra conservative candidates, and even saying he would have voted for the South Dakota total ban an abortion. The problem for him now is that many of the Independents who loved him in 2000 (who he needs to have to win the general election in 08) no longer trust him.

Condi Rice has no chance -- too close to Bush.

Answer 3

residing? Ron Paul - believes in actual constitutional authorities. lifeless? Thomas Jefferson Jefferson is between the mind-blowing thinkers of all time. He authored the announcement of Independence, probably teh mind-blowing record ever written, a minimum of as major to historic previous because the Magna Carta. He replaced into properly conscious of the hazards of Federalism and absolutely replaced into assigned Ambassador to France so the Madisonians ought to attempt to push the structure through and create an empire from a very loose society. If no longer for the bill of Rights he authored amending the proposed structure it wouldn't have ever been ratified.

Answer 4

Right now I think that Rudy Giuliani and John McCain are running neck and neck. By '08, it will probably be McCain by a slim margin. OR, vice versa. We may see a GOP ticket with both men on it. Not an ideal ticket, but not a bad one either.

Answer 5

John Mcaine. But even though I nearly always vote Republican, consider myself a Repulican, I will not vote for him. Why? Simple. He want's to commit it all to Iraq. Ignore our modernization programs. His grandfather commanded my father. He once wrote a memdrum that the South Pacific in WW II could sink Japanese air, and naval, and land power if pushed. It did. Trying to win in Iraq, control their coming Civil War, will just weaken us for nothing. We will need programs like the F-35 and F-22 down the line for more important wars. If we focus on Iraq, we are doing just what the Japanse did in the South Pacific in WW II. Thats why I will not vote for McCaine. His own grandfather had more of a head for stragety.

Answer 6

Rudy -Mcain- Rice our well is a little deeper and stronger than the Dems but maybe they'll have someone shake loose-nothing against Hillary or Obama they just have no experience.

Answer 7

John McCain and he will almost certainly get the nomination. Who would be his running mate? Independent Joe Lieberman?

Answer 8

Republicans and other political parties are merely an illusion, because THIS secret and evil group has been in control of everything for far too long!...
