Dispatches From the Home front Issue 2…

Last week, the GOP Presidential candidates, minus the still unannounced Fred Thompson and New Gingrich, debated at the Ronald Reagan museum in California. For the most part the evening was as boring as paint drying, which is why I mention it only now. (The Democrats would have been the same except for Mike Gravel.)

The GOPers, complimented Reagan a lot, told Arnold they wouldn’t let him run for President and tried to find someway to look tough on terrorism but ignore Iraq.

Personally, the highlights of the evening was watching Rudy piss off pretty much everybody by telling them he believes in abortion and Romney trying to remember what is positions where. If there is a winner, I would not give it to conventional thinking of Rudy or Mitt, but to Huckabee. Despite fundraising numbers lower than Vilsack, I believe he may still gain enough traction to hang on for awhile. At least long enough to gain VP interest.

Then again, I have been wrong so many times before I shouldn’t guess. After all, there was no way that Gore could loose to Bush.
