This may be his only shot.  Pro-Choice yeah yeah yeah, I know he can't get nominated - bull.

Ridge has brass balls and at least that Marine personality wouldnt be afraid to take on a strong incumbent.

I don't think his moderateness is the deal-breaker.  I just don't think he's likely to break out of the second tier.

Yes, I think you're exactly right.  If the "fresh faces" wait til 2016, maybe, just maybe, he can break through

Ok, aside from his weird Pro Choice views (and I call them weird because he's always had a complicated position on the issue), do you really think Tom Ridge could go toe to toe with Barack Obama during a campaign? Ridge has zero charisma. He's an old. It would be Bob Dole all over again with the only difference being that Bob Dole actually wanted to be President.

LOL, my soap dish has more charisma than Bob Dole, and yeah Ridge is no great stump speaker but who has the moxy to go up against Obama.

Pawlenty and Jindal put me to sleep........Mitt will likely be the guy, but as I suggested in another thread......someone is going to be a sacrificial lamb.
