Sen. Sam Brownback, who is considering a White House bid in 2008, said Monday the Republican field has room for a "full-scale Ronald Reagan conservative" and pledged to make a final decision next month.

I hope he wins the domination, will make it easier for the democrats!  |
I took one look at his web-site and was amazed. Finally, someone I would love to vote for  !

If he runs, it will be very easy for Dem's to win. He's the most vehement enemy of Stem Cell research, and yet America supports. He's too socially conservative.

I'm not sure about teaching intelligent design in school...but besides that I think we would get along perfectly . Unfortunately I think you're right...he is too socially conservative for the average voter.
(I'm not sure about all of the info on that site, but I do know that some of it is wrong or probably outdated.)

I like what I've heard about Brownback, but he does seem a bit too conservative to get elected, and too socially conservative even for me.
I'm still pulling for Guiliani (or Tancredo).

I don't see how Guiliani can make it either. What does he have to run on? His resume as mayor and some good photo shots from 9/11? I suppose if he shows us he really has what it takes to be president then maybe, but I doubt it. Plus I doubt he could pull enough Republican votes to win an election.

Well, one of the things he can run on is his distinguished record:
1970 to 1981: Associate Deputy Attorney General, Chief of Staff to the Deputy Attorney General, executive U.S. Attorney, and Chief of the Narcotics Unit of the Office of the U.S. Attorney.
1981 to 1983: Associate Attorney General of the United States (third highest DOJ position); supervised all of the U.S. Attorney Offices, federal law enforcement agencies, the Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the U.S. Marshals Service.
1983: U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
1993: 107th Mayor of New York City, population 8.1 million (more than that of 40 states in the union, respectively, of course).
2001: Dealt fantastically with the tragedy of 9/11, showing quality leadership and the ability to deal with crises.
Then there's a good case that you can find here. It's particularly regarding a potential 2006 Senate run, but it lists some things about his record and so forth.
I think his only real problem is the personal issues. I mean, when you manage more people than 40 US states, that's pretty big. Not to mention when you're two away from being in charge of the US Department of Justice. He's certainly got the experience.

Ope, looks like the Bayh bid was short-lived.

Thanks for the report, Puck.
Surprise, surprise. Not really, of course, but yeah. This was to be expected.

I despise Clinton and will not vote for her. I dont like any of the candidates at all. Obama is weak, John Edwards is a stooge, and Brownback is quite poor (although I have a different term to call him, I would just get yelled at...). I think the only candidate worse than Clinton would be...Rudy, as he lacks any real experience doing anything difficult (agreeing with Kevins post...just because you happened to be an important person who dealt with 9/11, certainly doesnt mean you should be president, but then again, look who we have now).
Who do I want to run? John McCain.

| Quote: | Giuliani Campaign Plan Leaked
The New York Daily News: "It's clearly laid out in 140 pages of printed text, handwriting and spreadsheets: The top-secret plan for Rudy Giuliani's bid for the White House. The remarkably detailed dossier sets out the budgets, schedules and fund-raising plans that will underpin the former New York mayor's presidential campaign -- as well as his aides' worries that personal and political baggage could scuttle his run. At the center of his efforts: a massive fund-raising push to bring in at least $100 million this year, with a scramble for at least $25 million in the next three months alone. The loss of the battle plan is a remarkable breach in the high-stakes game of presidential politics and a potentially disastrous blunder for Giuliani in the early stages of his campaign." |

Funny how this all happens and he still hasn't announced his candidacy, only the formation of an exploratory committee.
