MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Who at the current moment has the best chance of becoming president for republicans? If the vote was tomorrow id have to vote for mccain. I dont know if I like guiliani. Lets put it this way I really dont like the democrats right now. Im a staunch supporter of the war, and right now theyre trying to undermine everything. The day i vote for hillary or Obama are the day someone has to shoot me.

slugshooter Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Who has the best chance for Republicans I've always preferred McCain, since 2000, although I haven't gotten a chance to vote for him yet. I think Romney might be the dark horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Who has the best chance for Republicans I'd like to see Newt or my former governor Mike Huckabee on the Rep ticket. Both very unappologetic conservatives. McCain is too soft on immigration for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Who has the best chance for Republicans [ QUOTE ] McCain is too soft on immigration for my taste. [/ QUOTE ] I agree with that! I am leaning towards Rudy! I know he is pro-choice, but that is OK! I don't like his stand on guns though! He certainly would be better than Hillary or Obama!

MichiganHuntr1 Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Who has the best chance for Republicans Guns is my main issue Therefore Rudy isnt my pick Not to mention I believe that rudy wouldnt even be known if it wasnt for 9/11. I dont like the idea of someone getting their name from it. Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Who has the best chance for Republicans At this very point in time if the elections were held right now, I am afraid that McCain would be the likely to get my vote. Just something about Rudy, dont think I would vote for him. If however Huckabee can get to the point he has the support and was to get the nomination which unfortunately I just dont realistically see happening, I would vote for him no question about it.

stevebeilgard Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Re: Who has the best chance for Republicans all we really have to look at so far are liberal democrats or liberal republicans. take your pick. me, i wouldn't vote for the first time in 44 years, because we don't have a candidate on either side. i still think newt will jump in, and even with the press hating him, with debates he's got a good chance.

The man was a disgrace to the office and an insult to honest Americans. So maybe a name like "Huckabee" could do us all proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Re: Who has the best chance for Republicans The way I see it is this: McCain....already strumbling and losing ground quickly. He has degraded to making absurd statements trying to find an audience. Just had a huge article in a major paper about how his candidacy is fading very fast. Most people just tolerate him, he doesn't inspire people. Rudy can't win. If you look at the block of firm and possible republican voters, then carve off the gun rights people, anti-abortion crowd, and the anti-gay single issue voters, he can't win. I know, if they don't vote for Rudy in the General, Hillary (who also supports these same issues) will win. But to these single issue voters, all that matters is that THEY didn't vote for Rudy....the others can give an account for their votes and the fact the Hillary was elected. No other possibles carry the name recognition to compete with Clinton. I think, hoestly, that if the republicans are going to win, they are going to have to come hard right and get back to the Reagan principles. They need every single voter from the Republicans united. In my mind, that leaves only one person who can mobilize the Republican base and that is Newt Gingrich. Despite his personal life issues, he is a brilliant politician and a devout historian. At this point, I see him as our best shot. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slugshooter Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Re: Who has the best chance for Republicans According to a recent poll, Rudy is the frontrunner as far as nominee's for the Republicans. John McCain also stated today that he feels the best candidate for the Republicans would be Tom Ridge. Which is a name I haven't seen brought up on here in regards to nominee's.
