Which Republican Will Be Elected President in 2008?

[PhiPsiRuss]

A Republican will be elected president in 2008. This will absolutely happen. The economy is on the upswing, and no Republican will be as stupid as Al Gore was and distance himself from the President.

So lets get down to business. I see three major contendors, but no one knows what will really happen in the Republican primaries four years from now. The top three contenders could be three completely different men.

Jeb Bush - His brother will have a sky high approval rating in 3 years, and Jeb will have access to his brother's rolodex. I think that this makes him the top contender.

Rudy Giuliani - He is a sentimental favorite of many, especially for me. I worked for him in 1993 doing opposition research, and he was New York's Winston Churchill during, and after 9-11. He also has great fund raising capability. Working against him is that mayors of New York historically don't rise to higher office. The position is very brutal on a man.

John McCain - I voted Libertarian in 2000 because I was so disgusted that a man like McCain was beat by a man like Bush. He is as close to a perfect candidate that you can find, except for a few fatal flaws. He doesn't have a great fund raising aparatus, and he speaks his mind. I believe that America would be a better place with McCain as president, but I don't know if Republican primary voters believe that. He also has the disadvantage of being a senator without governmental executive experience. Americans like to elect governors and vice presidents.
