Elections - October 2007

What about the "Curse of Gracie Mansion"? No mayor of the City of New York, conservative, liberal, or centrist, has ever gone on to higher office.

I am a socialist and dislike both "Democrats" and "Republicans" – this question is about electability, not political positions. From a "horse race" point of view, not political views, can he win?

The news this morning says that British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, would not be calling for elections at this time. That doesn't make sense to me. Do British PM's decide when is a good time to call for an election that might put them out of office? And if so, why would they ever do that if they could not call for elections and just stay in office?

Senator Tico dares to ask the question should a women be allowed to become president?

Clearly there has been a mistake, why was this question deleted?

I hear libs say a democrat will win in 2008 because "most Americans want the troops home" but don't you think what it really is going to come down to is this:

Do you want the troops home defeated, or do you want the troops home in victory?

And it's not about whether there is a 'military' solution or not. If we leave and Iraq's government falls because we weren't there, it will be viewed as a military loss. On the other hand if we stay long enough for it to work out in Iraq, it will be viewed as a military victory.

When it comes to electing a president in 2008, I believe it will go down as whether most Americans want Retreat and Defeat, or whether most Americans want Perseverance and Victory.

The most important part of this election is to get George Bush out of the White House. As long as the next president is better than Bush I'll be fine with who ever it is.

Who will you be voting for? Give your reasons, based off their views and policies and more. This is not time to attack another party, just give your straight answer.

And security and respect will not come with any female or Mexican as president in the USA. Heaven help us, if what I am hearing is real. We have a bunch of idiots in the media, I am so sick of the reportings. My screen is off for another 10 years, can't take it any longer.

Go get 'em OBAMA, EDWARDS OR BIDEN, our only hopes.

There is no system to stop them. Is this what the amnesty bill is really about, getting them votes, legal or not?

On October 10th in Ontario, we will vote for or against the referendum. Do you think that Ontario should keep the First Past the Post system (the one being currently used) or should we switch to a Mixed Member Proportional system (the "new" system)? Anyone have any thoughts?

The people who have been saying that Ron Paul has no chance have been wrong about him all along. They said he would drop out early, that he would not win debate polls, that he would not win straw polls after the Iowa poll, and the most recent is that he would not raise first-tier money.

It is very obvious why he has all this support, he is honest, has principles(swears to uphold the Bill of Rights fully), and he is so intelligent that when you listen to him give a speech it is like he is a professor giving a lecture at a major university. I don't consider candidates like that to be underdogs at all. It's just a matter of time before he gets them in the end.

Our founding fathers warned us of 2 characters in public office: 1st - One who uses security as a means to get elected and 2nd - One who uses popularity as a means to get elected. Bush and Clinton. Will we continue are foolish trend?

Just trying to predict who's going to win...

as for me, I support Ron Paul 100%. He wants to pull out of Iraq and make government smaller. But most importantly, he wants to protect the American way of life and END illegal immigration. And he's not going to steal my money and give it all to poor people.

But I dont want to hear anything about who me or anyone else supports. Just state who you support and why, please. I will not pick you for best answer if you diss anyone else's views. I will pick the best expressed answer, no matter who the candidate.

The current frontrunners for the two major party nominations in the 2008 Presidential election are both from New York State (Giuliani and Clinton). When was the last U.S. Presidential election in which the two nominees were both from the same state as each other? When was the last U.S. Presidential election in which the two nominees were both from N.Y. State?

We thought that if the democrats won the soldiers would come home very soon. We voted for them last November so that they would bring the troops home otherwise we wouldn't even hve voted. My best friend's boyfriend has been in Iraq for several months. I got up extra early in the morning to go vote before work to help her and all that for nothing.
