Have a good one!:s4:
Clinton:
Considered part of the Bush/Clinton rat pack. Between that and the huge disapproval rating for her she'll be luck to be the Dems nominee. Also, the Clinton "machine" on the road has seemed to do more damage than good....maybe time for Bill to stay to home.
Huckabee:
Unless something incredible happens, Super Tuesday will end his candidacy.
McCain:
Doesn't have the backing of the far right but is VERY popular amoung the moderates and independents. Has a record of reaching agreements with the left in senate which will be a plus not to mention his military career. Age could play a factor...pro and con.
Obama:
Considered one of the most liberal senators which will prove to be a negative in the final election. Limited experience in D.C., not to mention the buisiness world, will be a negative also.
Paul:
After Super Tuesday he won't be a factor. IF he stays in the race expect virtually no media coverage do to lack of interest.
Romney:
Losing support in key areas not to mention that momma is getting concerned on the family fortune. He needs to win big Super Tuesday in order to have a chance. Even though the far right are talking out against McCain they still haven't endorsed Romney. VERY loose support base.
In the end I see a Clinton- McCain race with McCain winning. DO NOT take this as me being a McCain supporter!!! There are MANY issues that I don't agree with him on.

I expect in the general election for 3rd party candidates to show stronger then expected if its McCain and Hillary. Bloomberg, Lou Dobbs, Ron Paul, Ralph Nader are all possible and would strip enough votes away from the two bigwigs that it could be a 3-4 way race to the whitehouse.
This is tough,
If Billary gets the nod than I would expect McCain to win by default, just the people alone from both parties that will cast votes against Billary, and then there are those that also support him. If that showdown happens expect to see him win by the largest margin since 1980.
If he is running against Osama:D then it's a tough call.
Personally I am pretty much voting against whomever the dem is and just leaving it at that. :( It will be intresting to see who VPs are going to be, and if they will have any impact on the race.
Ohhh i see no, so youre just planing on jumping on the ban wagon. thats a great way to trow your vote away. so based on all the fourms you right i take it that you are anti american or something?
Hello? What? Come again? You mean the "no matter what happens on this earth I am never going to vote for a lib, or a dumb shit like Wrong Paul band wagon?"Quote:

While that's really flattering that you have read "all the forums I wrote", it is also really telling of your ability to comprehend what you read. Or maybe you are confusing me with someone else! Whatever. I am not directing a personal insult to you, I am saying this with all due respect. So please don't take it personally, but you can take the rep I gave you personally!:S4:Quote:

Put Clinton in a five-way race as the only Democrat against four Republicans, and she's going to win! If I know you, I don't think that is what you want to do.
I'm going to come back and cast my vote when Obama is added to the poll.
I think the eventual Democratic nominee is going to beat the eventual Republican nominee. I'm basing that mostly on the energy, unity, and motivation of the parties as I see them now.
Republicans do not seem very excited about their choices. They are not turning out for their primaries in especially large numbers. Almost every candidate has some part of the GOP party that does not like him. The party is weary. The failed Bush presidency doesn't reflect well on Republicans, and they are feeling it.
Democrats are excited about their choices. In many primaries with equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans registered, nearly TWICE as many Democrats are turning out for their primary than Republicans. About 70% or more of Democrats say they would be happy with either Obama or Clinton, while none of the Republican candidates have that kind of broad support within their party. So the Dems are more united. Democrats see their chance, and they are motivated.
At this point, it looks like McCain will have the Republican nomination. The Democratic race is still up for grabs, but I think it will swing for Obama. If it's Obama vs. McCain, I think Obama will take it. If it's Clinton vs. McCain, it will be closer, but I still think the Dems have it.
So going out on a limb, I will say that Obama will be the next president. Get ready to suck it up Republicans! I know that if Obama becomes president of the US, many of you will consider the country an Obama-nation, but after you brought us the WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, you need to just sit back and take a rest for a few years.
Sorry about that one!!! As you can see....I added Obama in my comments. LOL...must have been a good "j".Quote:

Barack Obama - any democrats in the house!!!!!!!!!! I was surprised to find republicans here, they ushered in the drug war so I am not a fan of the repulicans. :stoned:
Obama- because he is the only candidate that can beat the repukes and I personally think he is the right man for the job at this time in history.
If Hillary wins the left ticket, McCain will have a chance to win. If Obama wins the left ticket, the Ron Paul voters need to join with McCain to help win the right win!!! I am worried about the condition this country will be in if either Hillary or Obama win. McCain isn't the best choice either but at least he has the credentials/experience especially in war/foreign affairs.
ever read a U.S history book?Quote:

i think Obama should win to win.
He isnt corrupted, because he refused earmarks from the government. he has set views, and dosnt change at the last minute to appease people, and he wants to end the War of Terror.
In debates instead of name calling and bickering like hillary wants him to do, he just smiles and defuses the whole situation, not starting any crap and getting nothing done.
instead he exacutes what he came to do, silently make hillary look bad, win the debates, and ultimently win the election.
This has to be a joke, right?Quote:

im thinkin mccain is goin to be our winner in this race. as a bleeding heart liberal i would love to see a dem in office but in reality i know that at this time in our country that could be possibly one of the worst things to happen. what we truly need and mccain seems to be the only canadate capable of doing it is (god i hate to sya these words) is a uniter and not a divider. seems that all the other canadates will not do what BOTH parties have come to look at as a mortal sin and that is compramise. even mccains own party has people that dont like him, anne coultier, because if he sees somthing as a good idea from a liberal he supports it. this is what we realy need. for years now we have had nothing but presidents who no matter what the idea was if it came from the other side it was immediatly rejected. this train of thought is prevalant in not only the white house but in our entire goverment. take nancy pelosi for example said she would appose everything bush had to offer. now i in no way shape or form support the bush regime but everything the man has done is not evil and wrong. i know somewhere he did something that was good for the people.
there is only one reason i would not vote for mccainand that is if he chooses mit romney as his running mate. i know VP is not realy all that important of a position but with mccains age we do stand a real chance of him falling ill and dying while in office and then romney would be our president and i would do anything in my power to keep that "ass clown" (thank you p4b for the phrase) from becoming the leader of our country. you think we are fucked now this will be childs play if romney gets in there.
any man who spent years in a POW camp is a hero, wether you agree with his politics or not. any person who attacks or insults an american hero is an un patriotic "ass clown" (thanks again p4b) anne coultier should burn in hell
I believe Obama is going to win. I know so many under 25 voters who didn't care about politics until this election, and I'll just say they ain't voting for McCain. The young folks are really going to decide this election, in my opinion.
I think it's about time to see a non-white face in the Presidents chair. As a woman, I would also love to see a female President, but I don't think Hiliary has the charisma and personality to take it until the end. I don't really LIKE either of them, but I agree with them more than any of the republican candidates.
Kucinich '12! (I wish)
Ha ha! I've seen a few other people starting to use "assclown" too --- Clandestine is the one I remember right now. It's a very colorful term. I was never sure if it was just someone who is both an ass and a clown, or if it was more than that --- maybe someone who likes to paint a big goofy face on their ass and wedge a red nose into their buttcrack?Quote:

Its not who I will be voting *FOR* but who I am voting *AGAINST*.
The things that give me the worst heartburn about the Dems, is they have all these wild things they want to do but absolutely no idea how to pay for them, and I can't afford for my taxes to go up anymore. I am already in the "over 30%" tax bracket, as a sole propriator business owner. The Dems want to provide "universal"(read Socialist) health care for everybody....I am still waiting for the *FREE* medical and dental that was promised to me and all of the other US Military veterans for us and our familys for life. None of the candidates are talking about US border security, or the high price of oil/fuel and how they plan to fix it.
The candidates on *BOTH SIDES* keep dangling the bait, in hopes that the suckers.....ummm....I mean voters will bite, without any though of HOW they are going to make things happen once elected. It seems that the particular twinky they are trying to feed us is filled with something I really don't want to step in.
FWIW, the president does not have the power to do much of anything... he has to get congressional approval first....and if the prez tries to do something that congress doesn't like, they have the power to override it. Basicaly, the prez isn't much more than a figurehead, much like the Queen of England.
It seems like most elections are like those little tiny cars they have at the circus, stuffed full of assclowns.Quote:

I've heard a few people say this, but if you believe in the biblical accounts of the Antichrist, it's widely speculated that he (or she) will rise out of Europe, Israel, or any number of Middle-Eastern countries. It's also believed that this person will astound the world with solutions to major world issues. Seeing that Obama knows almost nothing about foreign relations, and would rather tuck tail and hide inside his own country (as opposed to hunting down terrorists abroad), I don't have much faith that he's the one.Quote:

Obama ftw, he's charismatic and different from a stereotype of a politician which i feel a lot of people are sick of. He's the vessel of change from the horrid Bush administration.
I'm in a mood to make grand predictions, so here goes:
I'd vote for Ron Paul if I were voting this time, (this is the first time I'm sitting out the presidential election) but al-Gore will be the next president. Clinton and Obama will keep bitch-fighting right up until the end, making themselves look (even) less presidential. The DNC will offer the presidency to Gore, (who conveniently should have a big environ-mental ad campaign starting any time now, if not already) with the vice-presidency going to whichever of the two comes out of the bitch-fighting looking less the idiot than the other.
We'll get four more years of the same old crap, maybe another war or two, until 2012 rolls around and my next big prediction comes to pass: There is a binary star system in the constellation Sagittarius that is roughly 5,500-6,000 light-years away, and is in the last stages of going supernova. Unfortunately, when that happens, we'll be right in the path of the gamma ray burst, because we're looking dead-on to the pole of the pending supernova.. and gamma-ray bursts (I believe) only come from the poles of a supernova. December 21st, 2012 (the day the Mayan calendar ends and many people think will be the "end time") is the last day of Sagittarius by one zodiac.. which is curious, if you consider the possibility that there was more to astrology, way back when, than just stupid fortune-telling. At any rate, it'll probably kill 50-60% of life on Earth.. and spare us the agony of going through (some of) another election. Nice how that all ties back in, innit?
Mind you, I'm not big on the whole end-times craze. (or astrology, for that matter) I tend to think that's for people of faith, and I have none. I did, however, think that the whole supernova-in-Sagittarius thing was a pretty interesting coincidence.. so I'm making my prediction now, even if I probably won't be around to gloat over being right. (if I am)
The votes are already out. The voting machines had a glitch and gave away the fixed results; McCain won with 48% of the popular vote.
Didn't mean to ruin it for every American that has the illusion that their vote is actually counted for.
