Trajan Octavian Titus said:Now one more question which conservative would vote for Collin Powell in a second if he would run? Not because he is black in the racial mindset of a liberal but because he is the most qualified man for the job.
ptsdkid said:Powell is closer to being a liberal than even a moderate. Powell, Guliani, Hagel and McCain are all too moderate for the Republicans to vote into being the Republican candidate for president. Republicans don't need wishy washy cut and run people representing them.
Kandahar said:McCain is a solid conservative. The fact that he's been painted as a "moderate" as only because he's had the courage to stand up against the current president's reckless actions. But when he does, he's usually to the right of Bush.
McCain is the best candidate the Republicans can field in 2008, and probably the best candidate America can elect.

The republican for 2008 is Mitt Romney, the Governor of Massachusetts

Kandahar said:Yeah, I can just see the evangelicals in the GOP falling in love with a Mormon. Especially one who has flip-flopped on abortion and stem-cell marriage when it became clear he might run for president. And let's not forget his universal health care proposal, which I'm sure the GOP will just LOVE.
And suppose he wins the nomination. In the general election, he'll be forced into the odd position of either extolling the values of Massachusetts which his base will hate, or criticizing his own constituents. So far, he's going the latter route, and his constituents aren't too happy. The reason he isn't running for reelection as governor is because he won't win.
There is simply NO WAY that Mitt Romney will EVER be president. Not a chance in hell.

Kandahar said:Mark Warner and Evan Bayh are at least as conservative as Colin Powell.

aquapub said:Powell, Guiliani, and McCain could all win the general election, but Republicans would never nominate them.
AlbqOwl said:Well, I certainly would vote for Condi over anybody the Dems are likely to put up as a candidate. The one I have my eye on though is George Allen (R-VA). If he is for real, I think he might be our next Reagan.
