I've been a bit busy the past week and maybe a bit more depressed over the election results than I originally thought. Columns like this
one by Raymond Kraft are helping me feel better.
Mr. Kraft mentions
Duncan Hunter as a long shot candidate for the GOP Presidential nomination and cause heartburn for Mrs. Pelosi and Mrs Clinton. I agree both statements. Mr. Hunter would be a
long shot for the GOP nomination. A successful nominee must win both the nomination and the general election. Mr. Hunter will be appealing to one issue border control folks, but the goal is to win the presidential election. The two areas the GOP must add to their base is the percentage of Hispanic and African-American conservative voters as well as appeal to the independant 20% Mr. Kraft identifies. Democrats will have
a record and
accomplishments on which to run in 2008. I like our chances running against that....
Mrs. Pelosi (
loses her 1st big battle) and Mrs Clinton (
that look) are a blogger's dream. I am considering an all Pelosi and/or Clinton-all the time blog until my easily triggered gag reflex kicks in....
