Bill Clinton was virtually unheard of untill the Dukakis candidacy, and even then, he was more annoying (that DNC speech!) than anything.
It wasn't until The Comeback Kid thing in 1992 that brought him to a relevant national light.
I'm banking on a Dark Horse person to run. It won't be Romney.
And no, he isn't "the best" to be offered.
The problem is that Conservatives don't tend to nominate Dark Horse candidates. I don't remember the last Republican candidate who was a complete unknown.
I think we will get one of the Old Horse (John McCain are you listening?) candidates
RW....youy would do your credibility wonders if you stopped using the word conservatives when referring to the GOP.
They are our closest party, yes....but we conservatives have only about 1/3 say in the GOP candidates.
I agree with you. Growing up in New York, I used to be a Nelson Rockefeller Republican. At that time there were liberals and conservatives in each party and many candidates overlapped.
Right now the Republican Party is conservative. If they are not, Rush Limbaugh and FoxNews quickly set their minds right.
I was merely commenting that I have never seen a Conservative or a Republican run a Dark Horse for President. Do you know of any in the last 50 years?
