She'll be the nominee. Unless the far right can grow some steel in their spines and admit that the social issues are not quite as important as national security, then they'll sit home and not vote. Hillary will take the White House.<BR/><BR/>I think the only consistent winner in a Hillary match is Rudy. Thompson is attractive but I don't think he can quite do it. Maybe as VP on the ticket. <BR/><BR/>Republicans must unite, that's for sure.<BR/><BR/>Good post.Karen Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692791436106987353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-23224490561564724532007-07-18T14:59:00.000-04:002007-07-18T14:59:00.000-04:00YES, it is all politics.

How can a woman with White Water on her watch have the ability to shine as a leading example of what is right. I agree that there is just not enough excitement about the race right now and perhaps we can heat it up when we get closer. There are a lot of people that feel the white house needs to be in the hands of the other party for a while. I am still looking for a leader.

Yea, I for one do not get it. I am a conservative Republican and I really could vote for any of our four top tier candidates. Of course you know I am on the Romney bandwagon, but come on. Some of you who stayed home November, 2006 are happy that the Dems are in control of congress? I am not, I voted and blogged excessivly as to why you should have too! I think that some people forget that Ronald Reagan was NOT the only conservative running for the GOP nod in 1980. The conventional wisdom there was that George H. W. Bush was going to divide the conservative vote and ride on to the nomination. I say this to remind Republicans that what we are seeing is the same tactic used in 2006. Demoralize the base and hope that 2008 is a Dem cake walk. Ain't gonna happen. Oh, and the AP/Ispos is one of the LEAST reliable of the polling companies.Righty64https://www.blogger.com/profile/09732939643534694274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-11123216115280579242007-07-17T23:30:00.000-04:002007-07-17T23:30:00.000-04:00we shall see Incog..lets pray whoever it is he has...we shall see Incog..lets pray whoever it is he has the strength to fight the dang izlamosssssssssssssss!WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-58494057529961981672007-07-17T23:19:00.000-04:002007-07-17T23:19:00.000-04:00FRED,FRED,FRED,FRED,FRED...it's FRED!

Terrorism, the economy, China, North Korea, Iran - there are so many issues and the Republican party needs to have a strong candidate running against the Democratic party. You can ask a lot of different people and most of them can tell you at least 2, maybe 3 or more of the candidates for the Dems - but I bet few of them could name a Republican candidate!<BR/><BR/>This is far too important to allow apathy to win the race! Hopefully - bcf is right and everyone will grow very weary of hearing about the Dems candidates!<BR/><BR/>There have been some slightly snide remarks surfacing in the past couple of days.
