How many REpublicans would stay home? George Pataki, governor of New York - YUCK! If he won New york, how could Democrats win? Mike Huckabee, governor of Arkansas - "President Huckabee?" Uh...I don't think so. Better than President Finn. Haley Barbour, governor of Mississippi - YUCK! He has gotten tort reform passed. It saved Mississippi from certain death. Mark Sanford, governor of South Carolina - Hmmmm. Not sure. I think he is respected in the state. George Voinovich, U.S. senator from Ohio and former governor -Hmmm. Possibly. Ok. J.C. Watts, former U.S. representative from Oklahoma - Hmmm. Need to see more of him. Dig up old Oklahoma football footage. He appeared for a few years. Opposing teams wished he would disappear. He is plain spoken and appears to be honorable. Elizabeth Dole, U.S. senator from North Carolina - Need to see more of her. I suspect she is at the peak of her career. She did fine as head of Red Cross. Thank goodness she went home to take the Senate seat. Bob Ehrlich, governor of Maryland - YUCK! Ernie Fletcher, governor of Kentucky - Hmmm. Need to see more of him. Joe Biden - U.S. Senator who says theat the Hillabeast would be difficult to beat. Realistic or just being a chicken? John McCain, U.S. senator from Arizona and 2000 nomination candidate - YUCK! He is welcome to come play hide and seek. He can hide first and I hope he hides real good. Jeb Bush, governor of Florida (done in 2007)Has said he will not seek the nomination - The best bet, if he mirrors his brother. He is a good solid performer. And the Democrats should just crawl out of their skin over his candidacy. Mitt Romney, governor of Massachusetts. Has said he will not run for president.
