Of course to be of the left or a liberal one must be insane.
Anyway.
Huckabee is definitely a personable guy and could be quite attractive electorally.
Gingrich would be ripped apart - only the hard right has time for him now.
Rice would be a bad move for the Reps - she wouldn't be able to win the deep south (call it "ignorance" on my part).
Romney could do it
Frist will go down as the kitty killer
I like Hagel and he could win.
The problem is that the primary structure is run by the right and a moderate like McCain and Hagel would have trouble... let alone a liberal like Guiliani (yes... for a Rep (who lists Bobby Kennedy as a political hero... read his book he does) he is a liberal).
The problem is once McCain started to pander the hard right, he started losing credibility, let alone standing with Bush.
The BEST chance the Reps have in 2008 is someone who was either publicily critical of Bush or someone who was not a national player.
