But the Republican candidates are all very different on other things, like domestic issues. Those are the important issues in deciding which Republican to support.

2) Romney, who has substantial management skills, is a quick study, and is young, or

3) McCain/Guiliani, neither of whom I want as a President (to say the least,) but who have decent “ruthlessness” and generic “war on terror” qualifications.

None of the candidates are great on this issue. I’d be okay with Romney as President and Thompson as VP (I don’t think it’ll happen: I think a Presidential Nominee Romney would need one of the other guys to fill out his ticket,) for this question: Romney might call in the lawyers, but he’d also get an answer from them quickly. I’m not too impressed with Thompson’s managerial skills so far.

I’d have a really hard time voting for him (I can’t imagine it at this stage,) but Guiliani as President probably wouldn’t completely screw up this question, and probably would take advice from people he recognizes as subject matter experts. I have no faith in the professional maverick (especially after McCain/Feingold,) and I’d vote for Hillary (who I wouldn’t vote for, and who would screw up so many other things that I think Pakistan would become a secondary concern) before Huckabee, who in my head is called the “second coming of Carter.”

Oh, and assuming that the economy continues on the path it’s on now, I’d take a Romney/Guiliani ticket second to Romney/Thompson, followed by Thompson/Romney. Everyone else, in whatever combination, fails.

Because, this is just as real a possibility and an even more serious threat to the nation’s existence.

One thing – we for sure don’t want a Democrat sitting there with Reid and Pelosi still in power.

I think I’d give the nod to Romney.

Huckabee has no clue about foreign policy. Ditto Romney, although he’s a quick study.
As for the Dems, Obama is frightfully naive about foreign policy, and the CLintons are corrupt.

If you want somebody to comfort you and stroke your head if they attack us, Rudy Giuliani.
