If McCain runs with Rudy as sidekick I think his chances are very good.

Rick,

WASHINGTON POST:

For all these reasons, Bush and McCain could end up as each other's best friends. Bush has been battling, with Rove's help, for a long-term political realignment in favor of the Republicans. The president could well come to see McCain as the only Republican with a chance to push a Republican era forward. McCain, in turn, knows that his only way around the Republican right is to run with Bush's open blessing, if not his outright endorsement.

And here is where Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the president's brother, could be the deal-closer. Jeb Bush has said he will not run in 2008. But that does not rule him out as a vice presidential candidate. If McCain won, Jeb would be the No. 2 to a president who will turn 72 on Aug. 29, 2008, and might well serve only a single term. If McCain lost, Jeb would have enhanced national recognition for a run in 2012. If picking Jeb is the price of winning over George W., McCain will pay it.

George W. Bush and John McCain may prefer not to need each other. But by 2008, they could well become codependent. American politics has produced stranger alliances.

McCain hasn't a snowball's chance in hell. He is absolutely nuts.

Time spent in a POW camp will do that to a guy...for sure.

IMO your top 5 have too much "baggage" to pull it off, and I don't even know who #6 is...which makes it kinda hard to vote.

I would be shocked to find that many voters, regardless of party affiliation, would honestly vote for Hillary when it comes time to punch that chad...

What is scary (and informative) is how many libs would actually pull the trigger "for" Hillary...I mean "on" I can understand.

Just what are we talking about here; a wet Tshirt contest?






Well I have heard Hillary RAnT that she is "Sick and Tired ..."

I wonder if she can win with more shrill speeches like that? . ..it did sound honest.
