Who Do You Want To See In 2008?, Your 2008 presidential election picks

I'm sold... the man has my vote...

Colin Powell breaks my heart. He's kind of an example of why Moynihan never even bothered. And that breaks my heart too.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait -- you mean you want me to run AGAINST Dogshirt?
No way -- same ticket er nuthin.

But I want an equal co-presidency.

John McCain has my vote.
My in-laws winter in Arizona - McCain's state. They are disillusioned with him though. They say he is now flip-flopping: saying what people want to hear in order to get elected.
On the Dem side, I think Hillary has a snowball's chance in hell of being elected President! In fact, I think the GOP would squeal with delight if she was nominated. Although I am an independent, I live in a very "red" area. Hillary is hated with a passion here!
Actually the best choice I see now for the Dems is Wes Clark. No one else stands out to me.

I like General Clark too. I liked him even before Michael Moore endorsed him. I think the Dems screwed up not backing him in the primary two years ago. They cast their lot with a Beltway insider, forgetting the fact that the last time a senator was elected President was John F. Kennedy.

The Dems need to (old, tired cliche coming up here) think outside the box. Let me give you an example sportswise of how changing tactics can pay off:

The Chicago White Sox had not won the World Series since 1917. They spent the majority of the next century as a prototypical American League team-big, slow, and right-hand dominant, relying on the home run to win ballgames. Then, they brought in a former player for the White Sox, Ozzie Guillen, to be their new manager. He spent his first year evaluating the players they had currently on their roster. The following off-season, they unloaded some dead weight and brought in guys who were willing to play the kind of baseball Ozzie wanted, which was good pitching, good defense, good situational hitting and just enough power to get them over the top. What happened? They won the World Series.

Excuse me but obviously you don't live here in Florida to know that he has done an outstanding job. 5+ hurricanes, social security, he's handled them all outstandingly. So I could understand calling "W" a moron but not Jeb. Even those who I know didn't vote for him like him and agree he's gotton a lot done and agree he'd do better as President then "W".

My dog would be a better president than W.

Hi all, with the exception of Colin Powell, I wouldn’t expect the correct time from anyone already mentioned, but I think I could trust someone like Barack Obama, or even George Clooney, to do the right thing.

I think I’ll be going back underground now.

J.C.

your dog...?

Hammy from "Over the Hedge" would be a better president.

I don't know if I'd vote for Hammy. RJ definitely, though.

My first choice for a comic strip character for President would be Opus.

Well, fine, if y'all are satisfied with him down there then keep him down there. I think he's deficient based on his views about education mostly, but that's an issue that I'm into up to the neck. I have to say this for Jeb -- he doesn't affect that ridiculous "a-HYUCK! Gawrsh!" faux-bubba speech pattern that W took on, to try and convince us all he's Everyman (which he emphatically is not -- but tragically enough he HAS convinced himself of it).

The editor from the comic strip "Shoe" would work fine for me.

Well it seems that education here in Florida is an on going thing that is obviously not a quick fix. Every Florida Gov. has tried to do some good but in the end it all comes out the same with the same problems. I'm a Firefighter/Paramedic and the starting salery im my field is appx. $38,000 yearly. A teacher makes only 30,000 and that field requires a 4 year degree and a lot of schooling. I think that's part of the problem right there.

I just hope we get a President who strongly supports the 2nd ammendment and believes in the right for law biding citizens to bare arms. As far as I've seen, I'm not impressed.

DAMN! I thought that was the right to arm BEARS! Live and learn I guess!

(ROTFLMAO)

well, it would make hunting bear a little more difficult I would guess. Definately much more sporting....

but it still comes down to one thing...who's got a bigger "gun"

boys and their toys......
