Predictions on the Republicans in 2008

[Joe Biden 2020]

I think the Republicans will have a Washington Outsider win the nomination for at least Vice President.

My thinking right now is:

Presidential Nominee:   Sen.  John McCain of Arizona (He has campaign experience)

Vice Presidential Nom:  Gov. Dirk Kempthorne of Idaho (Washington Outsider, but who I have my eye on).

By the way, I have a Democratic Oklahoma map on my profile, but I'm a registered Republican, but I voted for John Kerry in 2004.

I know this is outside the scope of this thread, but I think Hillary Clinton will have a very tough time even winning the Nomination for the Democrats and an even harder time winning the General Election, unless Rudy Guiliani is the GOP Nominee.  The Dem nomination has a better chance going to Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota than it does to Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Sen. George Allen is a good candidate, I had just forgot about him.  I think he would be kind of like Sen. John Edwards of 2004 who ran for the Presidency, but accepted the nod for Vice President.

Senators do have a harder time getting the White House, just ask John Kerry (2004) and Ted Kennedy (1980).
