I'm curious because I remember the terrible choice we had to make two years ago. When will all the politics subside and we can have enough intelligent people to decide what's right for the improvement (not appeasement) of our people? We have spent the last 6 years embarrassing ourselves as a country by having Bush as our leader(not that Kerry could have been much better). Is there any hope for us in 2008?

I'm going to guess no since I don't think we've had a "great" canidate for a couple of decades now.

I have a list of characteristics that I want in a candidate. I don't want to insist that the candidate mirror how I feel on any one issue. I want him to be a good politician but independent of party leadership, a 'maverick'. I want him to come up with new ideas. What is a third way to go on immigration? I want him to be compassionate, but against pork and big government programs. I want him to be a personal model for my family. I want him to have some experience in foreign affairs, and have an insight into how to improve third world economies.
Right now the only one who fits what I am looking for is in the House, and probably won't be considered as a serious candidate until he runs for a higher office.

John McCain maybe. Certainly not Hillary Clinton, although it would be fun having Bill skulking around the interns again. Watch for Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts as a possible dark horse. Anyone who can be elected as a Republican to state wide office in Massachusetts must have something on the ball.

do no longer be extraordinarily shocked if some persons enter the race fairly options down the line. i sense that what's happening now could be particularly a lot a media hoax. all and distinctive has gotten regally disgusted with the Bush gang, and so the media began the election campaign up about a three hundred and sixty 5 days before than regularly happening. in my opinion i imagine there'll be some wonderful entries. As for Fred Thompson... what's it with Republicans and actors?

Maybe John McCain or someone in the middle that can get more than 55-60% of the vote. Until then, we will we polarized by the two parties.

Not while the New World Order keeps putting up dunces to be our leader...they don't want anyone smart enough or powerful enough to throw off their yoke.

well, that depends on how you define as being "worthy"... but then, the good thing for whoever is next is that bush has set the standard at so low that my dwarf hamster can probably do a better job than him...

Whomever wins will have to clean up Bush's mess or make it worse. Either way no matter how good they are someone will try to bring them down.

Dr. Condoleezza Rice. She is the only one capable of doing the job.
