What republican will run against hillary in 2008? Perhaps Jed Bush?

Who we got?

[NotLKH]

ninetyfive and up say they take the bus.

[space_monkey]

You think Condi will run?

[space_monkey]

You didn't mention that Oprah might run as well.

[Cander]

Ugh. Another mediocre election coming.....

Oprah will give everyone who votes for her a new car.

No of course not.

Its either McCain or Condi.

[space_monkey]

I think Oprah is a Dem. And if she did run i think it would be more to test the waters and prove a point than anything else. You're right though as far as the republicans are concerned it will prolly be McCain and Condi as the front runners in the primarys. A McCain/Condi would be an interesting ticket come november though.

If i were Jeb i would wait and let the dust settle from his brother's presidency before throwing my hat in the ring.

George W Bush!! All hail the W.

[grilkip]

I can't really imagine the conservative base getting behind Rice for pres.

I'm not so sure if sen. Clinton will be the candidate that makes it through the primaries though, I think sen. Biden has a better shot.

Although, if one party pushes forward a woman, then the other might be inclined to do the same.

McCain is one of the few (known) Republicans the left likes. Especially due to his attempts to reduce legalized briberary in Congress, and he's moderate and honest.

I'll even forgive him for refering to the North Vietnamese as gooks.



So if it were McCain vs. Hillary, I'd vote McCain, even though I'm democrat.

I'd vote against Hillary because she went on a crusade against GTA San Andreas. Obvious hit on free-speech, seems like she's siding with the Christians to get votes.

[DeadEyes]

If Hillary runs then Condi will put up against her to split the vote of women who are not aligned to a particular party. Race might play a big part though some people will vote for/against Condi based purely on colour. Reps will try to figure out will they gain more votes than they lose.

Tony Blair. He's not gonna last long here, now, so you lot might as well have him

That's why he won't get the Republican nomination.

Bring back Margaret Thatcher!

Condi won't run.

I doubt that Hillary will even get the Democrat nomination. She can't win; She has too much baggage; she's hated too much by a large segment of America.

Most Blacks would not vote for her. They don't vote conservative no matter what.
Anyone who tries to leave the liberal plantation they refer to as an "Uncle Tom" or "Oreo"

What republican will run against hillary in 2008?

Check out Senator George Allen of Virginia.

[Valleysboy1978]

What happens if you don't agree with the policies of either party?

[space_monkey]

You vote for a third part (but if you don't want to vast your vote you could ...) vote for the one who might do the best job or is the closest to you ideology. Or you could be like most americans and stay at home and not vote.

Rasmussen over the weekend published the results of a new poll on GOP 2008 presidential candidates

Giuliani 26%
Rice 24%
McCain 21%
Gingrich 7%
Frist 5%
Less than 5%: Hagel, Allen, Tancredo, Brownback, Pataki

McCain is the leader among the minority of Republicans with an unfavorable opinion of George W. Bush.

He also ran a survey asking people who they'd choose if they couldn't pick Giuliani, Rice or McCain. In that case, Not Sure leads with 30%, Gingrich with 27%. Rice supporters seem to have Gingrich as their second choice:

A plurality of Rice supporters favor Gingrich if the Secretary of State is not in the running. A plurality of both the McCain and Giuliani supporters move to the Not Sure category.
