As much as I disagree (but respect) my adopted home state's senior senator, he may be the perfect GOP candidate in 2008.  Because he's pro-life but percieved as a moderate by the general population.  Shoot, my parents even like him and we don't see eye to eye too much on politics.

If Republicans were playing to win comfortably in 2000, they might have stuck behind McCain.  What happened in the SC 2000 primary was the ugly side of the right wing coming out.  The same one that may very well prevent a Guliani run in 2008.  Going into 2000, did anyone really think GWB was going to beat McCain? GWB was the underdog.

I disagree, McCain ran as the "outsider".  Bush was favored by most in the party and was also much better funded.
