Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Guliani has put in the papers... He's in for 2008!
For anyone else that is sick and tired of Radical Party bases of the Democrats and Republicans, here's an answer.
Small Government, Strong Defense, Pro-Choice, Support for Gay Marriage... He sounds more like a Libertarian than anything?

And also Michael Savage, a Nationally-Syndicated Talk-Show Host of The Savage Nation, has talked to Newsmax.com about opening a presidential bid: "I'm only exploring this"
Both have given new hope for a long-drawn Bush Republican Party. So let's examine why they qualify for our valuable Presidential Vote in 2008....
In an interview with Sean Hannidy on Hannidy and Colmes, Hannidy asks many questions concerning the Conservative base. Of course, you know Hannidy just re-hashed everything over and over again, but it made great publication of Gulliani's Value-Base.
Gulliani says that he has qualifying candidacy in his "experiences that I've had as mayor of New York City, United States attorney, all of them very, very, strongly, kind of in the executive area, where you have to have leadership, and organization, and focus"
Also, he mentions his successes of being Mayor of New York City, such as "I lowered taxes in New York. I reduced the size of government in New York. I took a $2.4 billion deficit and turned it into a $3.2 billion surplus."
Clearly a Conservative Base, he answered off-Republican responses to our issues today.
Added to his past recognition in NYC, he also believes every woman has a right to abortion "as long as there's provision for the life of the mother", supports different states' rights to authorize gun-bans, promotes English-language-tested citizenship for any illegal immigrant that are not "drug dealers, and the criminals, and now the terrorists", and fully supports to "put Iraq in the context of a much broader picture than just Iraq."
Michael Savage, on the other hand, is a more Conservative-Based individual, who does not support Liberal views of Guliani like gay-marriage.
He feels he's somewhat qualified for President in 2008 because he is "somebody who's not a politician might be a viable candidate."
He said he will focus his main attention to "Borders, language, Culture."
He believes that America today is fighting a war with "the rules of engagement of a state trooper in the United States."
Among additional views, he believes Global Warming is natural, anti-gay, and his show is known for "psychological nudity".
So there you have it! 2 Sparks within the Republican party, just making news yesterday, for the 2008 Presidential bid.
Personally, Guliani has done amazing works in NYC, and I support his view of granting citizenship to those already here (without drug-smuggling, crime records, and welfare recipients). I also agree that gay marriage is up to the individual, as is abortion. The War on Islamic Terrorism is Number 2 priority as of now, behind number 1 which is restoring Constitutional Govt Standards (like repealing 17th Ammendment). He is my number 2 pick, behind George Phillies (Libertarian)
And as much as I adore and actually look foward to his radio show, Michael Savage is way too Conservative for me. He wants to outlaw Gay Marriage on all non-heterosexual sexualities (I suppoprt individual choice), believes we should just carpet bomb certain areas of Iraq (regaurdless of consequences), and his main topic of Presidential action on "Culture" (working on culture? Too Fascist for my vote...)

Who do you honestly think is going to win? Haven't the Republicans burnt their bridges for the next 4 years?
It’s all much a do about nothing at this point.
Most of the American public is so disillusioned and apathetic they don't want to know who will be the next batch of fine politicians.
I will do my duty as an educated voter and research all the options before casting my vote.
I feel optimistic about this 2008 race, considering I'm a libertarian.
With a remaining disgust with spoiled Republicans and ignorant Democrats, the lack of trust in the 2-party binopoly of US Government hopefully will lead people to go outside the red and blue and go to the green.
This is the 3rd Parties' Zero-Hour, and I hope most American voters will take the same amount of time that they take a dump to research candidates.
I agree with you and I'm totally for Gulliani. I like how open minded he is and not as stuffy as some of the critics you mentioned. Gay marriage should be up to the individual and as much as I dislike it abortion should be up to the women, after all it is their body. Michael Savage can take his conservative views and shove them. I myself used to be very conservative but it got me no where. I have many gay friends and one of whom is engaged, and I support him 100%. So in conclusion I also am very optimistic about the race and I wish the best for Gulliani.
