<p>I agree Crystol is intellectually gifted, and also not a Bush puppet. Most conservatives like Crystol are very dissatisfied that he has turned out to be a bit moderate on some of their hot button issues, ie they don’t think he’s gone far enough in pursueing the conservative agenda while president.
You are right, not a whole lot of “statemen” on either side of the coin that I feel “red hot” about right now. Just a lot of the same. I think there are some promising up and comers out there, but in time for 2008?–I don’t think so.</p>
