Who Would You Like To See Win The White House In 2008??
You didn't list all the choices.
Isn't Ron Paul running as an independant? His name, nor that category are there, and he is a real consideration for many people. Will he win, maybe not, more like a Ross Perot effect I would suspect. Too many sheepish voters in America that vote like the TV and boughten advertising tells them to.

plus i believei s he runig but ready to pull out
clinton - There are many reasons I would not vote for Clinton. but a Bush.Clinton.Bush.Clinton president cycle seems to be so be a bad precedent. So I won't contribute to it. She carries on about experience; but She has not done anything that I can see affects me or mine. a no vote.
Obama - The thing with obama is he's not said anything I have not liked. Nothing that makes him stand out.
Edwards - I don't trust edwards \./ And someone who can't be trusted won't get the vote. He said same things in last candidacy and has not shown me anything new. a no vote.
Huckabee is a religious extremeist IMO. reason enough to be a no vote.
Romney is another religious extremeist in his own right. a no vote.
from romney and huckabee one should learn not to bring religion into their candidacy.
Giuliani - I'd vote bugs bunny in before I'd take guiltiani as a president. a no vote.
McCain - screecher didn't win his last bid for presidency .. doubt he'll win again. Tried and failed tactics .. a no vote.
Ron Paul would get my vote if he is on the ballot.
In lieu of that .. I suppose I will most likely vote obama.
clinton and any other candidate and most likely I won't even vote.
a choice between fuck ups is no choice that is how we got bushy2
Does anyone feel that The Democrats will Retake The White House and that in Genberal Repbilcan Rule after 8 years is overthis time around??
no vote on the poll after a day shows me the interest in current political trends. I think media polls are a joke.
I'd prefer another party to take control but many states have shown reluctance to place third party candidates. kinda of a set up IMO.
Could be right, but I will eave it there just to see if anyone is intrestedQuote:

The others, though, seem even worse to me, without even that small positive aspect!Quote:

My apologies to all for posting the poll, it is apprent at this point there is limited interest if any in it
I have to admit, I haven't been paying as much attention to the candidates as I should be. My interest in politics has fallen in the last few years.
However, with the knowledge I do have on the candidates.. I'd have to say none of the above. Anyone running right now just doesn't seem to fit what we need. The only person I think would have is Fiengold, but he more then likely would never had made it as a democrat and has things to do in the Senate yet.
I do need to find out more about Ron Paul though. I keep seeing his name all over the place.
Which one of them is openly atheist? I'd support that one.
None I know of, All The Republicans are all Preaching, Huckabee is a Babtist Preacer, Romey is a Mormon Rudy is Cathlic, And McCain is McCain none are talking about not believingi n god
Let's Elect Bill Gates Of MicroSoft he is an open Athiest, which is interesting since his wife is a very devote Cathlic, which 2 general do not mix marriagw wise,, but she has 53 BILLION reasons to love him :)
Iowa says obama and huckleberry.
so I reckon it's a matter of will the status quo win out again and put pukeberry in or will people take a chance on the new possiblities.
I don't follow politics really well but i find 2 things interesting from the Iowa polls....
1) that Huckabee won. Since what I have seen of him has not been impressive.
2) I wonder how much gender/race has to do with the race between Obama and Clinton. Would everyone rather have a black president over a female president? Or, how much does Bill's legacy hurt Clinton....
*goes off to ponder those things a bit*
I follow US politics far too much for it to be considered healthy. Both Hillary and Huckabee are spouting fear mongering baloney. Huckabee is trying to get in on the Republican hard on crime and yay to guns action for votes. And Hillary is trying to get in on the "but think of the family" bullshit action. I'd say both of those to have dealt themselves a technical knock-out simply based on their dumb-ass populism appeal. Obama is the only guy who seems to have any kind of self respect left. I don't see the black vs female conflict. Obama just seems to be the smarter candidate. Sure it's good to have a minority as the president for image purposes, but not as far as policy is concerned. I don't think women in power are any different than men in power. They're just prettier.Quote:

I don't think it's a black thing or a woman thing.
though clinton doesn't help the case for women... I wonder sometimes about that part of her anyways.. but that is another thread.
She's not the right person for the job At this time.
and I dont' see any republican that is.
appears to be Obama for Pres.
People are clammering for a change, let's give them what they want, if it doesn't "work out" we have 2012, rmeber what we have dealt with the last 8 years, 1 President who served 2 terms, not even elected to his first, was placed there by the Suprmem Court and in 2004 he did not even get 50% ofthe vote, ANYTHING has to be better then what we have now
Take a closer look at Hilary, Tom.Quote:

Super Tueday Feb 5 will and should be the deciding day
What can I say. Power turns me on. I think she's hot. And she forgave her husband's kinky sex with an intern and cigar. I like woman who aren't too big headed to live with that fact. The proven power to forgive I think is a good quality.Quote:

The best Democrat candidate is Bill Richardson. Hillary Clinton talks on and on about her political experience, when Richardson has so much more. He was member of Bill Clintons cabinet, has been embassador, now he is a Governor. I am surprised he has not polled better.
My guess is the he has not polled better and that Obama has been leading because like last November people do want chage and Obamam is the only cadidate to continue talking about change, this is not meant to say Obama, will win or is theb est candiate but he has been talking about change from the first day NO other candidate by either party has done thatQuote:

I'm not sure my money is on Obama, but I'm hopeful for him. I think he's a man who would actually be a Good president, I'm just not sure Americans are intelligent enough to realize that (or deserve it).
Not really into american politics to me ( as Dutchman ) they seems to mesh things up every time some one gets elected :p
Hey, you. Don't destroy my fantasy. I hear Sarkozy of France has bagged himself quite a lady. US politicians has a lot to learn when it comes to sleeping around. Step one is to be proud of it. :)Quote:

First the American people have to get over their Puritanical view of sex in general. It seems rather ridiculous to me that a TV program about, say, breast cancer cannot actually SHOW a breast.Quote:

now THERE´s a winner ;)
For "Who I would like to see win", I picked Edwards, but I know he has no chance. As for the nominations, I believe that it will be Hillary for the Democrats, and for the Republicans, I'll go with Mccain.
While Obama pulled off a nice upset victory in Iowa, last night's win by Hillary in New Hampshire shows that there might be a consensus that he isnt experienced enough. I'm a staunch Democrat, and would take either.
I will be very surprised if another Republican wins the White House, especially if that Republican candidate is Mccain. While I've always had a great deal of respect for Senator Mccain, and I believe he would have the potential to be a good president, his position on the war, his steadfast support of Bush, and his recent statement that he sees us "Being in Iraq for 100 years" might well cause voters to shy away from him. It's too early to tell yet, because he may not even be the Republican candidate, but, this is just how I see it.
I will be surprised if Obama is the Democratic candidate. He would be a good choice if the Democrats want change. Either way, it is a history making event. Whatever happens, this is likely to be the first time that either an African-American, or a woman, is their party's candidate for president. That alone shows that this country has come a very long way.

It's just an image thing. USA is in the lead by far when it comes to teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. I think it's fair to say that Americans are the sluttiest people on earth. In a very positive way. I don't think they're hornier than other cultures, (I think that one is a constant). I think statistics show that they seem to have a lot less inhibitions when it comes to sleeping around. Sure, it's down to how statistics are read. But I don't think USA is any more puritan than anywhere else, for a second. It's obviously just something people say, but don't believe in. So there's plenty of hope.Quote:

Thread derail?
I don’t know who is going to win this election, but man would I like to tie Hillary to a post and flog the shit out of her,,,*grin
Bill could watch.
