The R-List - revised again!

Writing by treason on Sunday, 26 of November , 2006 at 8:54 am

The V.O.T. list of Republican candidates for 2008:

Official:
1. Duncan Hunter

Exploratory phase:
2. John McCain
3. Rudy Giuliani
4. Tommy Thompson
5. Mitt Romney

Running whether we like it or not:
6. George Pataki

There’s been talk:
7. Bill Frist

And speculation:
8. Newt Gingrich
9. Sam Brownback
10. Chuck Hagel
11. Mike Huckabee
12. Tom Tancredo

Please…not now and not another so soon:
13. George Allen

Won’t run if nominated, won’t serve if elected:
1. Richard B. Cheney

In the same boat:
2. Jeb Bush
3. Condi Rice

Condi had been in the “Musing” category but I’ve moved her for three reasons:
a. She insists she doesn’t want the job and plans to return to Stanford
b. She’s too closely related to a war that’s become increasingly unpopular
c. She’s reviled by the Left, whose members would rather see a nuclear device take out the Eastern Seaboard than a black female Republican in the White House. (They want one of theirs, qualified or not, to be first.)

Jeb would be a fine candidate but he’s also smart enough to know that this isn’t the time for him. And that’s unfortunate.

So now we wait to see how long it takes the Left to destroy Romney, and the Right to destroy McCain and Giuliani. Wheeee.
