I have many better choices but this is the closest i could come to realty that would not make me scream in anger. I am hoping for... Dem- Obama/ Fiengold (he wont go for pres but he might take VP) Rep- Giuliani/ Lieberman (thats if Lieberman ever comes out of the political closet in time for VP)
And of course I hope The Dems wins.

well, I'm not sure who I want for VP, but as for pres, I think you got it about right, only I'd hope guliani would win. he would make a great president. this election is gonna be exciting that's for sure. now, as an added bonus, I'll give you a presidental match up that I just might KILL MYSELF IF IT EVER HAPPENED. hillary vs jeb bush. OMG THAT'D SUCK ASS

I'm worried about Obama running...I'm not sure he can win, due to lack of experience, and alienation of voters due to the effects of modern day racism...we'll find out though. I don't think Hillary can win either though because of the same thing dealing with sexism, and there's so much prejudice against her already. We'll find out.
Guilliani is the smart pick for republicans due to his popularity, and experience, but I don't think he's right-wing enough for them.

oh, I wouldn't vote for hillary if she were man, woman, hermorphodite, whatever. she's just a hardcore politican to me. just one example is she's not even from NY but somehow she's a senator there. I would have no problem with a black pres, but I'd rather have Powell than Obamah, but he has no desire to run. as for a femal pres, yeah, that'd be great, I'd vote for a woman if she had stances I liked.... problem is theres no females running for office that have a stance I'd like. most republicans actually love guliani, and both parties have got it through their heads that nobody wants an extreme of either side like in '04. Kerry= left wing waffler, bush = right wing IDIOT. so what are people doing? trying to elect moderates, that's what. or in hillary's case trying to LOOK moderate. so guliani would have the ticket easy if he confirmed hes running, or if confirms if he hasnt alredy.

I'd vote for Rudy.
I have nothing against obamma except as you said, his lack of experience. I have no idea what he's done or what his stances are on different issues. As for Rudy, we've all seen what he can do during a crisis, so yeah
Clitton just sucks (yes I know the mis-spelling, sue me)

*sues Guinness*
I want why Hillary sucks explained to me...I never understand these statements that are made...everyone hates her and I want to know why? What makes her such a bad politician? She knows the game and plays it well...personally I respect her for it.

I don't like her because she plays the game in an obvious way. She has lots of scandal. She is not liked by foreign leaders. She Loved the war up till the Dems won on the fact that most people want the war to end. She thinks post baby boomers are lazy and spoiled. (this makes me really hate her) She panders to the highest degree and will follow the money more so then any Dem in the line right now. If we elect her we will not get a national health care plan, more jobs will go over seas, unions will continue to be busted, and the Wars will continue. The only thing she is tough on is video games industry and the Clinton name. When I elect some one I will want major change for the positive. I want Campaign reform, education reform, foreign policy reform, environmental reform, a "fair" trade system, a plane for some sort of universal health care, and a plan to end a criminal system that tends to only effect the impoverished and the minorities. We wont get any of this from Hillery.

We wont get any of this from Hillery. Well I understand a lot of this, but it's also true to say that whenever someone runs they have to improve their marketability and appeal to what their party wants (not saying this is right, but it's true). It's one of the reasons I don't think Rudy will make it, because the party would prefer someone more right-wing, and I don't think he will pander to their desires. Hillary will...so when she runs I'm sure you'll see more flexibility.

As for Rudy, we've all seen what he can do during a crisis, so yeah Clitton just sucks (yes I know the mis-spelling, sue me) yeah when rudy takes the primaries and HE WILL, I AM voting for him. he'd be so great, and I think he'd win in a landslide if he ran.

Again I don't think he'll win the primaries. But do not forget that he also has a few scandals from NY following him. It will be an interesting election.

I think his competition is... well... not that good of competition so far. as for dems, I think edwards may actually have a chance of getting the primaries.
