President in 2008?

pataki and romney are snowbelt republicans.  only sunbelt folks have been elected, starting with Johnson (I'm counting the Bushes not as newenglanders but southwesterners, and reagan as a californian not an illinois person).  given our national preference for sunbelt folks, I'd venture a guess at Dianne Feinstein or John Edwards as reasonable choices for a challenger to the GOP nominee next time.  Maybe up against Governor Rick Perry.  Oh, he's a sexy man, don't ya think?  But so is Edwards.  How'd that be?

But isn't Romney a Utah native? (I think I heard that once...)

Like who's taller.  Who's sexier.  What they did 30 years ago in Vietnam.  Important stuff like that.

Not this time though.

Who wants to replace democracy with dictatorship and send Jews to the camps? No Republican would ever do that.

"Jews" is beside the point. Who wants to murder, or just to make go away, any group of people?
Okay, nobody.
No, I wouldn't have used the term Fascist.
Although, in all honesty, Buchanan sounds very much like one at times.
