The Dems would be wise to run someone like Bredesen.  He has turned out to be a surprisingly good Gov.  I say surprisingly because I voted against him.  He's socially moderate (perhaps too conservative by Dem standards) and fiscally conservative.  Unless the  TN GOP runs a really, really good candidate against him, I'll likely cross the aisle and vote for him next time.  Luckily, he isnt the kind of Democrat who tends to survive the primaries, seeing as how they are front loaded with IA and the northern states..

Virtually all viable candidates will be multi-millionaires.  Clinton was one of the rare excepetions in modern times.

Rutzay,

It's over the top montages like yours that will help keep the White House in GOP hands. 

That type of extremism, and that shown by Prof. Ward Churchill, tends to turn off far more people than it attracts.  However, I'm not going to try to dissuade you.  We appreciate all the moderates that you push into voting for the GOP with such outlandish images.  Thanks!

I didn't call you crazy.  I didn't even call Churchill crazy.  I called him extreme.  You're linking Bush to Hitler, Stalin, and the Gang is extreme also. 

You're linking him to Professor Evil is funny.

There's a difference.

Chris,

Do you think that Gov Huckabee is going to run in '08?

I've only lived in AR for a few months now, but already I'm unimpressed with Huckabee, especially his effort to give ilegal aliens in- state tuition.  I thought that only Mass liberals wanted to do something like that, not Arkansas GOP Governors.  Stunning!  Oh well.

However, I have to admit that it is impressive that the guy can lose a hundred pounds in a year, then run a Marathon in 4 hours and some change.  He may not have much in the way of common sense, but he certainly has stamina.

I would contend that Dorgan was on the 'wrong' side of all three of those issues.

But haven't you heard? That's the new GOP policy: encourage illegal immigration to pander to the Hispanic vote. Hopefully the inevitable backlash will hit them like a ton of bricks. That also applies to the Democrats supporting similar measures.


From what I can tell so far, both Dems and Republicans in AR are outraged by the Gov's plan.  In fact, the AG says that the proposed law allowing illegals to get in-state tuition violates both the AR and US Constitutions.

At the very least, if illegals are entitled to in-state tuition, then so should legal citizens of the other 49 states.   

Gov. Huckabee is bought and paid for by Tyson Foods.
