Richard. You aren't being much of a help in this election. Which candidate would you prefer to John McCain - Hillary or Hussein? And don't think Bob Barr is going to do anything but an encore performance of Ross Perot who permitted Bubba to back into the Presidency. You do remember that fiasco don't you? I have asked many times: if you were king, who would you like to see as the next President of the United States? Now that Buckley has left us and Barry Goldwater is quickly becoming a footnote to history (ask any 20 or 30-something if they know who he is and you will be shocked) - who are we grooming in the wings to lead the Conservative movement. There are lots of naysayers - this guy is too hard, this guy is too soft - but where are the little bears to say, "This candidate is just right." If we hope to impact America, we have to formulate a positive plan for maybe the next three election cycles complete with a serious candidate that conservatives, Republicans, centrist Democrats and Independents can buy into. Richard, they have to be at least a little well know and if you think the name recognition of Goldwater is low, ask Boomers who the current governor of Alaska is. You will get a blank stare, I promise you. Nobody has heard of her except for a few Beltway insiders who spend their days talking to each other and not with the great unwashed masses out there. And by the way, Alaska IS the home of the bridge to nowhere isn't it?
