		<description>&quot;&quot;I don’t feel America is really going to be able to handle another Republican for a little while after the damage this administration has done to this country.&quot;&quot;

kieth;  whether this statement is right or wrong, it may not keep the democrats from once again forcing a republican into office.</description>

		<description>I personally think Giuliani has the best shot out of the bunch, though I must admit I don&#039;t feel America is really going to be able to handle another Republican for a little while after the damage this administration has done to this country. Giuliani managed to make alot of people like him during the time right after 9/11, and branding isn&#039;t something he&#039;ll need to work on as he is already a household name.</description>

		<description>[...] My personal favorite for the nomination is former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Not that I really have a favorite, as I am quite unlikely to ever vote for any Republican. There is some interesting speculation going on out there about who is in the running and who has a real shot at taking home the gold. [...]</description>

		<description>I know there wont be any nose holding in my family as we all will be voting for Mitt Romney. He is by far the most affable, personable, honest, caring, intelligent, and electable Republican Candidate. Mitt has the right bled of experience and Education to be a great President!</description>

		<description>Romney&#039;s greatest strength is his ability.

He has more raw talent than the rest of the field combined. He was able to turn around a troubled deficit economy into a strong surplus- without a tax raise.

He has fought successfully for traditional marriage, as seen through his recent successes with the state legislature.

Romney has more charisma than all the others and is no doubt the most articulate voice for conservatism.

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Ugh. Potential GOP Nominees....&lt;/strong&gt;

Please not Romney. I pretty much agree with Joyner, presuming Condi is serious about staying out of the fray: Guiliani&#039;s baggage is lightened by his performance in the aftermath of 9/11, but that won&#039;t make it go away completely. Still,......</description>

		<description>My objection to Romney has not been about his Mormonism or his conservatism, but rather can he win. I don&#039;t see him carrying any state Bush didn&#039;t win in 2000/2004 and having a good chance to lose some. McCain and especially Rudy have a decent chance of expanding the states in play without significantly endangering the 2000/2004 states in the Bush column. Gingrich himself notes that his strategy is to wait until labor day in 2007 to enter. If a clear favorite isn&#039;t apparent by then, he might get in.

Finally, I really wonder about the dark horse candidate. I remember Carter coming out of no where to win the nomination in 76. Like Obama, people knew so little about him the could project what they wanted to see. Can that sort of dark horse appearing the days of 24 hour news channels and blogs?</description>
