The only remaining Constitutional conservative welcomes the support of Fred Thompson fans.

Looking like the only real challenger to the Dem's will end up being John McCain.
Think he can beat Osamba or Hillery?

I still do not think McCain will get the nomination. I think Mitt Romney will win it, based on current politics. The way things are going, it is looking to me like the November election will be between Romney and Obama. Clinton and McCain still have chances, as does Huckabee, but I think all of them are losing more ground each day.

I'm thinking Romney and Hillary. But it could go either way. I think McCain will come back to earth on Super Tuesday. Even his FL polling numbers might be inflated. (The media loves him.)

At any rate, it looks like we don't have to worry about a Giuliani administration.

I just hope that people don't sit on their hands due to any perceived lack of "purity" on Romney's part. I'm not thrilled with his 2A stance myself, but I know that he is 10x better than Hillary or any of the contending Democrats.

Well if we are going to do with predictions. I'll play this game.

Hillary is toast. Once it got down to trying to figure out who is most likely to be telling the truth, Hillary loses every time. Even the democrats know she and hubby are liars. Liberty will hoist alcoholic beverage at her concession speech. Barak Hussian Obama runs

Romney and McCain will go down to the wire at the convention. The Gulianni and Thompson delegates might take some importance. Republican regulars have long memorys and won't forgive McCain. Romney the nominee


In Obama vs Romney. All the women agree they are the prettiest of the bunch and I believe as slick as olive oil on vermicelli, so its gotta be these two even if niether doesn't really stand for anything. Romney will beat Obama's donkey. I don't think Americans are ready to vote in a general election for any black man with a Muslim name at least not the America I know.

I expect to see a mass elephant grave in Congress The Donkeys are going to be running the house for a long time. They will be shoveling donkey poo out of the Senate too.
