John Hawkins has the results posted from his latest blogger survey of most and least desired Republican presidential nominees. The results are interesting and, true to the name, pretty reflective of "right wing" opinion with John McCain -- someone who would do well in a final run, but not so well in primaries -- winning for least desired nominee and Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney finishing surprisingly high on the most desired list -- two guys who are fine fellows but guaranteed losers against any Democrat candidate with a personality more engaging than a tree stump. Will the Republicans learn nothing from the Dole candidacy?

Here's the full post: Right-Of-Center Bloggers Select The Most & Least Desired 2008 Republican Nominee (2006 Edition)

Here were my choices, which I'll admit I didn't spend a lot of time agonizing over:

Most Desired:

Rudy Giuliani: (Former NYC mayor)
Condoleeza Rice: (Secretary of State, California)
John McCain: (Senator, Arizona)
Mitt Romney: (Massachusetts Governor)
Tom Tancredo: (Congressman, Colorado) [Probably not electable, but I like the guy.]

Least Desired:

Dick Cheney: (VP, Wyoming)
Newt Gingrich: (Former Speaker of the House, Georgia)
George Pataki: (Governor of New York)
