In a HARDtalk interview first broadcast on 30 January 2008, Stephen Sackur talks to the former House majority leader in the US Congress, Dick Armey.

As the Bush administration draws to a close and the 2008 presidential election nears, neo-conservatism seems to be falling from favour.

The potential candidates for the Republican nomination come from across the party spectrum.

In the third interview of HardTalk's America series, Stephen Sackur travels to Washington to talk to Republican grandee Dick Armey.

They discuss where next for the Republican movement -- and which candidate, if any, can win the 2008 election.

HARDtalk is broadcast on BBC World at 04:30h GMT, 09:30h GMT, 14:30h GMT, 21:30h GMT and 23:30h GMT.

Hardtalk can also be seen on BBC News 24 at 04:30h & 23:30h.
