Elections - February 2007

They sure make the whole election process seem long and expensive. Do you have alternatives, perhaps from other countries, which also might provide a valid alternative?

Please note that I didn't say who you want or don't want for president but who you think will be. I also am not looking for the hate bush crowd to come in.

So far I hear there is Obama, Clinton, Guiliani, Richardson, Gingrich, Kucinich (possibly)??

2008 election. Giuliani v/s Clinton. The state of New York is the state that will decide who wins. Say both get 245 electoral votes and a third party candidate gets 17 electoral votes (just to make it interesting!). What would possibly happen? Will Giuliani shock the country and carry New York's 31 electoral votes or will Clinton follow with the tradition and wins the race? Uff, this would be a tight one! Any possible scenarios?

I think they would make great running mates and would make an unstoppable team!
She's 59 and he's 45. If she ran for president and he ran for vice-president they would get 8 years together and then he would get another 8 years... it's my bubble...

We all have a right to drive BUT before we can excercise that right, we have to pass a test.

SHOULD we have to pass some kind of test to demonstrate that we can understand complex issues and apply logical soloutions before we can excercise our right to vote?

The one person, one vote system ( 100% fair in principle ) would choose a charismatic leader ahead of a competent leader of integrity. It therefore follows that an elloquent conman could get elected ahead of eg. a great economist or somebody who could help resolve global issues.

I once heard a girl say she cast her vote for a certain candidate because "he's kind of cute" !

The role of Predident or Prime Minister is a JOB. No employer would get away with hiring staff on that basis !!!!!

I guess Hitler was elected by one person one vote - a great leader but look what happened ...............!!!!

( Of course, I am not suggesting that charisma and eg integrity are mutually excusive ! )

I'm from NYC and know this guy well. I think the rest of America only knows about his 9-11 traveling "America's Mayor" pimp show.

The guy married his first cousin, had it annulled, had an affair with his press secretary, had another affair where he asked his wife and kids to move out of the mayors mansion to accommodate his lover.

And that's just for starters.

When all the crap about him comes out to the rest of America, then he's toast as a candidate. Did I mention he's a bully and megalomaniac?.

Why is it the black man vs. a woman vote? As a black man myself, I am looking to Obama not because of his color but for what he stands for. He stood against the war (one of the only ones) from the start when Hillary voted for it and then recently changed her mind. I vote for Obama because I know Obama speaks for Obama when he talks about how the concerns of America. I feel as if Bill is writing Hillary script. Im not saying she not brilliant in what she does but I know that she recieves help and we never know who she really is. Now everyone would like to comment on his lack of experince in the senate.. See J.F.K. profile.. Noone judged his experience then, did they??.. But put in a black man, and you would like to see him run after 10-15 years of experience. Its not the experience, its the Dream.. and America cant wait 10-15 years. So how about lets look at what both canidates have put out there to offer.. Obama -- Universal Health Care .. Hillary ?? , does anyone know that one??

What about Hillary? Do you think the Republicans have a real chance of winning based on the big Senate change and Pres. Bush low ratings?

Looks like Hiliary and Obama are the 2 Dem runners for President in 2008. This to me suggests the Democrats lack any real leadership members that these are the only 2 they have to offer...a newbie who is an unknown and a woman senator who has been subject of investigations.

Thoughts?

Hypothetically, if Hillary or Obama were to get the Democratic nomination, but a Republican were to win the 2008 presidential election...

Is there a chance Democrats will NOT call Republican voters either a bigot and chauvinist (if they beat Hillary) or a bigot and racist (if they beat Obama)?

The way I see it is if either one of them gets the nomination, and they lose to a Republican, conservatives will get called names (unfairly and inaccurately). However, wouldn't the Democrats themselves be in no position to talk since they would have not voted for the other one to get the nomination? (i.e. If Hillary gets the nomination, people could unfairly and inaccurately call them racist because they failed to vote for Obama to get the nom, or vice versa.)

Yet how many will still call Republicans sexist or racist if a Republican wins the election?

Or maybe Republicans won't get called names? Thoughts?

WASH—Jan 15—KIN-- He was born of a Muslim father and an atheist mother, who in his own words was "a lonely witness for secular humanism, a soldier for New Deal, Peace Corps, and position paper liberalism." She divorced when he was two years old and remarried another Muslim living in Indonesia, where the young man was educated in Catholic and Muslim schools in one of the most radical Islamic countries in the world. Though his father and stepfather were both Muslim, he tries to mitigate their religion by saying that by the time his mother married them, they had become atheists. After he was ten years old, he mostly was raised by his atheist grandparents.

The New York Daily News reports that he changed his life in his junior year of college at Columbia: he said he stopped doing drugs, ran three miles a day, and "He went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn and started lecturing his relatives...

Personally I am not against a female president. I am concerned however that it might put pressure on Muslim leaders not to "Deal" with her because of her gender.

I just don't understand this! So many people have fought and died in our country for the right to vote, yet there are so many people nowadays who don't vote. Are we suffering from a lack of political consciousness or are so many people bored or corrupt politics?
