Hey Coloradoans.
I was told by my mother, that a coworker (who happens to be a repub) said that Bill Owens is a rising star in the Republican party and in politics and will make a run at the presidency in 2008. Your thoughts.

1. *cough* *cough* BWAHAHAHAHA!
Lord, that's funny. Bill Owens making a run for the Presidency. You have got a killer sense of humor, man.

Seriously, I doubt it. Owens may dream, but he'll get crushed like an insect in favor of somebody more media-friendly and Southern. He'll have to be content with a high-level RNC post or maybe an ambassadorship.

3. No way
He's got the personality of a doorknob, and is hardly deeply loved by even the Repubs here.

I think the guy's a dink.

2. If there is any justice, and "Nanny-gate" blows up in his face....
I wouldn't think that would go over too well with the right wingers...

I think he stepped in it.

7. Have any papers reported Nanny-gate?
Would love to see this guy crash and burn from his own mistakes.

My home state is like an alien nation.

5. that's laughable
he MIGHT salvage a board position at the Independence Institute or maybe someday a guest-host slot on a talk show at KOA out of the ruins of his political career. Even that is pretty doubtful at this point though.
