I found Bill Safire assertion on this week's Meet the press, pretty interesting. John McCain and Condi Rice in 2008. As far as Powell or Jeb Bush is concerned, well both are out in my opinion.

Jeb Bush has even more dirty laundry than GW ever did. Jeb is neck deep in Iran-Contra era entanglements as well as 1980's S&L dirt. That's one of the biggest reasons they ran GW, he was the least dirty, if you can belive that. Unlike the Kennedy's the Bush family's standard bearer didn't die in combat, he got chewed up with bad business deals in the backwater, backslapping, drug politics of Florida, no way can they run him. Powell on the other hand is avoiding personal ruin by not stepping into that spotlight, as exhibited in the early 90's when moderate Republicans begged him to run. If John McCain can stay healthy and avoid being dragged into a neo-con co-opt I belive he could serve as the top component of a strong ticket.

My hope is that the neo-con movement is destroyed and/or banished from the Republican party. As exhibited by the realease of Christie Todd Whitman's new book, I'ts my party too, the moderate Republican's aren't going to take this wild adventure in spending and war lying down. Being from NJ, I can't say I'm the biggest fan, but....maybe she can help galvanize a movement away from these neo-con freaks. I'd rather Barry Goldwater was leading the party, it's turned into a real nightmare, and john and jane Q citizen are left holding the bill for outlandish, grandiose schemes of democritization to save the precious sands of the holy land for rich re-born philanthripists and secular american jews who would hate to see the animals in Palestine defoul the land of milk and honey.

It's all but for a few. My dream is that McCain appears to tend to neo-con interests and then deep sixes the mfers. I'ts about time McCain acts like TR and stands up to greedy global capitalists and eccentrentic billonaires with Wilsonian nightmares.
