Southern Republican Leadership Conference

The March issue of the Main Street Journal will be included in the registration packets for everyone attending the Southern Republican Leadership Conference next month, March 9-12.

Special contributors for this exclusive edition of the Main Street Journal include presidential hopefuls Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Virginia Senator George Allen, and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.

So who do you think will get the Republican nomination in 2008?

Government? Waste? Perish the thought!

Federal spending is up, but tax receipts are even higher and the Govt ran a $8.6 billion surplus in January. How about another round of tax and spending cuts, on the House?

Fair enough, but could we please put a temporary moratorium on “peppered”?

The silly rumor this weekend would have been more interesting if it hadn’t been a re-run from two weeks ago, if Frist hadn’t been backing away from the Administration or if he had been meeting with the TFA or the NRA instead of the FOP.

But you’ve got to wonder if maybe it was a Frist trial balloon. Not that the good Dr. is truly interested in being First Mate; it would simply gauge the blogosphere’s reception to honoring him with this status: Class of 2008’s “most likely to succeed.”

Sources point to no.

But on the ultra-slim chance Cheney does step down before November, and Bush picks Sen. Frist instead of someone from an “inside-the-bubble” executive position, why are we so certain Gov. Bredesen would tap Ford Jr. for Senate? If we’re to believe the chummy-with-Corker meme, you’ve got to entertain the likelihood that Bredesen would have the good sense to leave the seat in Republican hands.

Alternatively, he could hand it to someone at the THP.

We know Gov. Richardson recently discovered that he was never a professional ball player, but Gov. Huckabee seems to think he just wanted to swing from the other side.

Thanks, Glen, but I’ve decided I need to spend more time with my family.
