Who's going to be the first Republican presidential hopeful to use Nixon's successful primary campaign platform of getting out of the current Vietnam? And still be able to secure central Republican party money? In the vein of political promises it doesn't have to be true, it took Nixon years to get out of Vietnam, but that's what the public wants to hear.

Central party dilemma has to be withdrawing support from go the course current administration and angering special interest money by adopting a withdrawal plan for publicity purposes versus giving up an important congressional majority (2/3) for purposes of future legislation. A tough call.

The military surge in Iraq is an obvious reason for no candidate or potential candidate to touch that issue at this point in time, but what happens if that effort fails? Will current administration use puppet Iraqi government not fulfilling administration benchmarks (especially the oil bill) to support a party approved candidate? That would seem like a logical what if party strategy.

Anyone else see that in the future?
