I understand that Obama is thinking about running for president. But it's still not official. Also, my teacher say's that Hillary Clinton stated that she is going to run for presidency. I did at one point believe that Christopher Walken was going to run for presidency, but the site turned out to be a hoax. (I felt kinda dumb)
Please put Sources(proof) for your statements!!!

For the Democrats, Hillary and Obama. Hillary thinks she has a chance, but does not have the temperment and has flip flopped on too many issues. She has been caught on tape and it will be used against her. Obama is a plan B. He is very well spoken and sounds good. He is still a liberal and they do not win national elections.
As for the Republicans:
McCain-thinks he has a chance. Is hated by the Republican base.
Gov Mitt Romney of MA. I have to learn more about him.
Rudy Guiliani-too liberal on social issues to have a prayer.
Newt Gingrich-has not declared, but would win the primary. He is loved by conservatives and the base.
George Allen-maybe
It is still too early to tell. Remember this, to win your parties nomination, you must satisfy the base. The Democratic base is the far left. The Republican base is social and economic conservatives. If you do not have the base, stay home you have no prayer.

Hopefully Obama won't run--he has little practical experience, and unfortunately, I really don't believe that a man of mixed race, appearing black, has much real chance of winning in this day and time. Maybe in 20 or 30 years, the rednecks of the 60's are still alive, and they are the biggest voting block still.
Hillary is actually being touted by the conservative newsmedia, because they want her to run and make sure a republican is elected. Poll after poll has shown she is not electable. too liberal, and her baggage includes White Water and ties to the murder of a presidential aide who supposedly died of suicide (do the research!).
John McCain is also touted, and held up as the white angel of noncorruptness and reform. Unfortunately, he was also one of the Keating Five, heavily involved in the Savings and Loan collapse of the 1980's but everyone in the newsmedia tends to forget that. Bet they won't when he actually runs. He seems to have forgotten it himself. Yes, he is a true war hero, but that Keating baggage will keep him from the presidency, especially given the current mood in America towards corruption.
Hopefully Kerry will just stay home. He has no chance of winning, and was buoyed by the conservative media on purpose just as he was about to annouce his withdrawal.
The conservative republicans' biggest fear is John Edwards. He outpolled Hillary Clinton in Iowa as the candidate of choice recently, but how many of you heard about that--was really hushed up. He is the only one that comes out mainstream, appeallng to mainstream Americans, and really believes in what he says. He was the only candidate last time to even mention the nasty word "POVERTY" and has continued across the country to help make people more aware of the damage poverty is doing to our nation. Hopefully the conservative media won't try to ignore him as they did last time--he finally came from behind, out of nowhere, to end up in second place, but had he been the democratic candidate, he would have easily beat Bush.

Senator Chuck Hagel is running for President in 2008 and that's the only person you have to know about.

It's still too early yet. No one is "Officially" in the race yet.

No one knows for sure, and they won't until primary season begins around this time next year.
