Colin Powell has the sense (I think) not to run for the job. He'd be their best bet if he'd take it.
McCain would be a good choice, but they'll never give it to him. He hasnt been a good "party" boy.
Pataki, maybe, but it would be a long stretch.
Giuliani?? He'd jump at the chance, no doubt. Which is a good reason not to give it to him. Just for starters.
I could see them using Mrs. Dole or the Ricenator if the Democrats were dumb enough to use Hillarity Clinton just as a counter to the women's vote. Mrs. Dole is far more respected, although I really dont think she'd be a good candidate for the office. She's too normal.
Ahnie is unable to hold the post because he wasnt born here, so thats out.
Allen is a possibility. Hopefully he's too busy counting his money to want political office, but I could see him running.
I really dont know anything about Grassley, Hagel, or Romney, so I cant say there.
Liberal Democrats would foam at the mouth and likely assasinate Bush if he tried to run for President. I dont think they could stand another 4 years of the Bush clan in the Oval Office. I at least have a grudging respect for GW, even if he is something of a tard. At least he has some integrity. For all the faults I find with him, thats a plus I cant overlook. I dont see it in Jeb. He's all politician from my POV.
Santorum seems to be a nutjob, but I've only seen a few limited things about him, not really enough to form a decent opinion. Still, first impressions count eh?
Keyes?? Are you crazy? They'll nominate Keyes the day Jesse Jackson gets the Democratic nomination. They deserve each other. If that day ever comes, I say they lock the two of them in a pit and let them fight out the election, survivor takes the office. Then we shoot the survivor. Keyes is certifiable.
