Tomorrow (Thursday) at 8 PM EST a debate will be held with the Republicans on MSNBC. It is hosted by Chris Matthews. Everyone's favorite governor of California will be introducing the candidates and might ask a few questions of the candidates himself.
Front Runners:Rudy Giuliani:
The far & away favorite to win the nomination as today. He is a social moderate but is trying to make up for that with very neocon views on Terrorism and the War in Iraq (going as far as to say if a Democrat is elected another 9/11 will happen). Will he continue the scare tactics?
John McCain:
A year ago the front runner but now is a has been. The conservatives did not like him in 2000 for being a moderate and going against the Christian Right. He now tries to be the conservative candidate and cuddle up to Bush. This turned off the moderates who liked him in 2000 and the conservatives still don't trust him. Can he reclaim his place ahead of Rudy?
Mitt Romney:
The mormon candidate as he is known. He is trying to be the Reagan-esque conservative. But was a social liberal just 10 years ago and his religion scares conservatives. Does he have a chance?
The potential Mike Gravel's of the Republican Debate:Ron Paul:
Anti- Iraq War, Anti-Bush Republican. Will he cause some entertaining chaos?
Tom Tancredo:
Hates immigrants to the points it's on the verge of racism.
Duncan Hunter:
Makes Bush look like a peace loving hippie. He would go to war with France if he was allowed to.
The Jesus Freaks:Mike Huckabee
Sam Brownback
The everyday Republicans who no one knows why they are running:Tommy Thompson
Jim Gilmore
