What will liberals say if Frist runs in 2008?

And yet, successful candidates seem to be coming from the ranks of the Governors, lately... who don't have a Senator's voting record to either defend nor footnote.

Which may be why GOPers are looking at the likes of Rudy Giuliani or, legislation willing, Arnie?

Governors do make better presidential candidates, because they have an office that demands leadership instead of partisanship. They also can play the role of "Washington outsider" which is sometimes beneficial with cynical voters (especially now that we know the average IQ in D.C. is so low :P ).

I do agree with Ghostiger about Rudy and Arnie. They are the kind of guys who might do well in a general election but have trouble getting that far. If the social climate in 4 years is similar to what it is now, the GOP will really want someone more socially conservative in the mold of Reagan and George W. Bush.

Senator Clinton, on the other hand, probably could win a primary easily. But could she win a general election? Today I would say "Not a chance!", but a lot can happen in 4 years.

Truth be told, it's kind of funny that we are even talking about this. There is so much to happen between now and then. We could have 2 candidates in 2008 that most people don't even know by name right now.
