The same can be said of Thompson. If it comes to Senator vs. Senator, you have two candidates that you are going to have to guess on, because they can't offer anything based on experience.

See, here I was thinkin' that there is just plain more to criticize amongst the Republican candidates.
It seems to me that the groups that have been at forefont of the Republican base for these last decades have problems with most of the Republican candidates. When one makes bold and simple allegations about ones opposition as Romney did, it will be hard for Guiliani to counter. Don't forget all those right wing anti-immigrant talk radio hosts.
I think the Republican party is currently seeking a new identity for itself away from the neo-con model. It may be a good thing for the party and the country in the long term. It may not bode well for success in '08 of the Republican candidate.
