The following response I wrote to Rich Lowry's column, "
A dispiriting GOP '08 race":
This
pessimism about our GOP candidates is not something I give into. Yes,
all of our candidates have their flaws, but do I really need to go into
what is wrong with Hillary, Obama or Edwards? No, their records stand
for themselves.
The only reason people feel like our crop of
candidates is not good is because right now there is no clear
front-runner. Want to know why that is? Because each of the top-tiers
has a lot to offer, and the faithful GOP cannot decide whom they like
more. In fact, that is kind of the way I feel right now. I like
Giuliani because he has a strong record on crime, which will translate
into fighting the war on terror. I like Romney because he is good at
handling business ventures and that can translate into rebuilding our
economy. I like McCain because he has the most knowledge of foreign
policy. So I can't decide which way to go because every one of these
people has the ability to be President, to say nothing of electability.
So I am satisfied with the crop. The GOP should be too, because
we do have a strong field, and one that is much stronger than what the
D's have to offer.
