Who needs Dems?

Who needs Dems?

I was completely amazed this summer at how even the most respected British review abroad, The Economist, had given up on the remote possibility of the Republicans winning yet another election, next year.

Well, of course, with omnipresent media like the CBS and the New York Times, anyone would be poised to think that there’s a Democrat Dawn going out, while the Republicans are at their sunset for the next year’s elections. But Whether or not the Republicans can win, I think we’ve come to a very healthy renewal within the party, a renewal lead by two men that can set the record straight.

I’m thinking of Giuliani and Thompson, mainly. Let’s compare them.

Both have a very media-friendly profile. Giuliani was THE Mayor of NY, before, during and after 9/11. He implemented zero-tolerance policies, he restored Times Square and kicked pornography out of there (the only remain could be the ‘naked cowboy’ that signs there) and face one of the most important threats in American History when Bin-Laden stroke the city.

Fred Thompson, on the other hand, has a less interesting profile, but yet manages to catch attention: he investigated the Watergate, had his time in movies and serials, mainly known abroad for L.A. Law, and is back for more, becoming a presidential candidate pretty popular with the “American homeowner” class, which of course, decides.

I truly hope, though, that when both parties decide their candidates, they take into consideration that guy, the “American homeowner”, not picking Hillary, or Obama, but a really serious guy, which campaign won’t be based on a “run out of Iraq” policy, because that could be a disaster, bigger if possible, than Spain picking Zapatero on the aftermath of Madrid’s bombings.
