There are plenty of GOP congressman -- Mike Pence (IN-6) is another example -- who would be great candidates. The only problem is most people outside of their own states, possibly even their own districts, don't know who they are. There are the name recognition issues, though.

In any case, I think you can stick a fork in KosKids and their ilk. I attended a meet & greet last Thursday featuring Congressman Ernest Istook -- campaigning for OK Governor -- and Duncan Hunter, Chairman of Armed Services Committee. If the Dems win, Duncan will lose his position. Nevertheless, it was a good roundtable, most of it focused on Foreign Policy vis a vis NoKo, Iran, Iraq -- did you know his son served two tours in Iraq as a Marine LT? Duncan also talked about the 700 mile fence in which he was instrumental in writting. Foley only got a passing reference as 'knucklehead'. Duncan is also quite familiar with the term RINO. Anyway, when I called the photographer this morning about getting copies of my photo op with the two campaigners, the photographer mentioned that Duncan was considering a run for POTUS in 08. Sure enough, when I googled it, Duncan is expected to make a formal announcement. Polling my office, Duncan would win hands down over McCain (trust issues) and Guilliani (RINO issues). Better put on your reading glasses and sharpen your '08 pencil ;) Well, I’ve said what I hope for when the Dems win this battle that they’ll lose the war.
