Ok who is playing a joke voting for Rudy?

I don’t know about ‘08…It’s going to be a tough choice. None of the candidates have released enough of a platform to judge.
But at this point it is clear that Erin McTiernan is the best choice for CRNC chair in 2007. She’s reformed NY which has had huge problems in the past plus she hasn’t backed anyone for ‘08 which is good because it’s inappropriate for the CR’s to back a candidate in a contested primary… especially a contested one.
Hopefully she decides to run and changes things in the CRNC for the better.

What good is this survey when you’ve left Mike Huckabee out of the choices?

I know many here will not agree with me, but McCain looks like the most viable candidate within the GOP, especially given this group.
It would take most of the money we raise in 2007 just to build name recognition alone for the candidacies of Gilmore, Brownback, Paul, Keating, and Hunter.
Tancredo is a one-issue candidate. Even here in NM, he’s only known by most as the Congressman who “hates Mexicans”.
Gingrich is a great policy guy. I’d love to see him as a Cabinet Secretary pushing conservative policy.
Romney has to be the most fair-weathered potential national Republican candidate I have ever seen. He would have served us well by running for office again in Massachusetts where he’s liberal enough to get elected…
Giuliani should have ran against Clinton in the US Senate the first time around. Then she wouldn’t even be a viable candidate for the opposition in 2008. Great leader, great speaker, poor on everything that the Republican Party stands for.
I’d love to be proven wrong, but unless another candidate comes out of the woodwork with enough name ID and Republican credentials to compete, McCain is our best and only option from the current field.

So then we have to ask the perennial question of whether its better to elect a media-sell out, anti-freedom, pro-tax, pro-big government RINO or a democrat.

People voting for Newt haven’t read Breach of Trust by Tom Coburn.

Mark-
That would seem to be the case……I’m am not completely happy with any of our choices. I would vote for just about any of them over Clinton, Obama, Kerry, Gore et al….but that doesn’t mean I like any of our choices.
