Re: "I think a problem for the Bush wing of the Republican party is that they want a candidate who looks and sounds like Bush. The persona is important. McCain does not cut it. Frist tries, but it comes off so contrived and phoney. Romney, surprisingy, does pretty well at the values laden straight talk approach. Rudy...don't make me laugh! But Allen is the best of all of them. Hey, I'd like to have a beer with him....if he drinks."

(He does, I hear... even wears cowboy boots. :)

I agree with what you say above, but, personally, I don't believe that there WILL BE a 'Bush wing of the Republican party' after Bush II moves on.

There will be social conservatives, still a few fiscal conservatives, national defense Republicans (ie, 'pro-interventionist') and nativist Republicans (anti-foreign entanglements, anti-UN, anti-immigration, etc.).

But, no 'Bush II Republicans' (just like you can't find any 'Bush I Republicans' any more!)
