Jennifer Said:

Is there any one GOP candidate that can get the broad support of the Republican party in the 2008 election?

We Answered:

There is none. The GOP is so fractured with competing interests, with neoconservative warhawks, fiscal Republicans, and the religious right trying to put their interests in the forefront. Bush has done so much to hurt the Republicans' image that a few candidates have begun to soften their tone and stray from core principles as a way of appealing to moderates and independents, which has angered the conservative "base." Thus, it's highly doubtful the GOP has that one person for all Republicans and conservatives to rally around like they once did with Reagan.

This competing of interests is usually the trait of the Democratic Party, which depends heavily on diverse factions and their interests to keep it afloat. However, the colossal failure that is the Bush occupation of Iraq has galvanized Democratic supporters into uniting behind whichever candidate gets the nomination. (Even though many Democrats have reservations about Hillary's original support for the Iraq invasion, she is still preferable to them over any Republican in the running.) The way these people see it, the only way to truly address domestic issues is to first get out of foreign conflicts, which neither of the Republicans are willing to openly proclaim (with the exception of Ron Paul).

Curtis Said:

How does making outlandish 'predications'--give the GOP any hope of winning anything in 2008?

We Answered:

vote for RON PAUL!!!!!!!

Mark Said:

What does the Republican Party hope to *achieve* by offering up the same "re-run" candidates of 2008?

We Answered:

I wouldn't bet on it. By the way, Pawlenty, Jindal and the governor of Texas are not reruns. I doubt if Palin will consider running again as a republican..and I have serious doubts that Pawlenty would run as a Republican. I would be looking for a very strong third party to emerge...

Kathy Said:

Will Huckabee offer the GOP a better shot at winning in 2008?

We Answered:

After the humiliation of the last 7 years, no Republican that has any 'hard-right' scent on him... has a chance of winning. All the candidates, except Giuliani, have campaigned as though they're afraid of alienating their base... but their base has moved to the left. They've moved enough to the left that Giuliani has a real shot... if the hard-right support him. If they don't support him, there is absolutely no way that the Republicans can take the next election. They're dead in the water.

Maybe Pat Robertson isn't so out of touch after all.

As for Paul... he has a credibility problem that I don't think he can overcome. He's a good man, though.

Melissa Said:

Is it true that the GOP slogan for 2008 will be "The Liberal Compassion"? Just look at all the candidates....

We Answered:

Not only are they putting their slimy "kinder. gentler" candidates forwards but they ae running TWO PARTIES,

The regular "Conservitive" republican ticket and the "Independent" ticket. too bad it will backfire on them, split the republican vote and guarantee a Dem sweep.

as if that needed any more help anyway...
