Republicans

A vulnerable Democratic President in the White House has given delusions of grandeur to almost any GOPster with a pulse.

Republican Challengers:

Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole of Kansas- Front runner with a vengeance.
Senator Phil Gramm of Texas- Big war chest, big war chest.
Governor Pete Wilson of California- File this one under "N" for "Never mind"
Pat Buchanan- Populist, dark-horse, divisive politician.
Governor Lamar Alexander of Tennessee- Money man without a message.
Rep. Bob Dornan of California- One of the most radical since, well. . . Bob Dornan.
Alan Keyes- Reagan's U.N. Ambasador, now the pro-life candidate.
Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania- He's the anti-religious-right Republican.
Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana- Smart, likable, and qualified. Pundits say he doesn't stand a chance.
Maurice "Morry" Taylor- Multi-millionaire turned presidential hopeful. Sound familiar?
Malcolm S. "Steve" Forbes, Jr.- Billionaire publishing magnate and political never-been.
Tom Shellenberg- CPA, author, and deficit hawk.
Charles Collins- The consumate internet candidate.

Those who might run:

Colin Powell- The former General is no longer in the running, but his spectre still looms large over the campaign.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich- Newt's wife didn't want him to run for president. She got her wish; so did many Americans.
