If John McCain and Rudy Giuliani stay out of the election, who would be the Republican frontrunners in 2008?

John McCain and Rudy Giuliani are not offically candidates in the 2008 Presidental Election. Although its all but certain that McCain will be. And Giuliani is also very likely to throw his hat into the ring. Both would be instant frontrunners. But let's say they both stay out of the race. Who would be the frontrunners then? Who would likely win the GOP nomination?

2. Giuliani is too liberal for the Right Wingnuts in the GOP. He is in favor of gun control and abortion and gay rights, so he has no chance. If McCain doesn't win, the GOP will nominate a kook like Brownback and will end up getting spanked like Dole did. And they will never be able to figure out why they can't get a majority of Americans to support them.
3. If they stay out, then either Mitt Romney or Sam Brownback might get the nomination... ...then we will see a Democrat in the White House come 2009.
4. If neither runs, it's going to be a horserace for the WH and the Dems could win. I would think Romney or Brownback might have a shot, but hope that Rudy or McCain step up. They can beat any of the Dems.
5. Lets hope for Newt Gingrich to step up to the plate!!!!!
6. DUNCAN AND TANCREDO THE ONLY REAL AMERICANS ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE IF YOU ASK ME. GET REAL ALL THE PEOPLE LISTED ABOVE ARE PUPPETS WHO PANDER TO BIG BUSINESS AND ARE WEAK ON IMMIGRATION.
