Who would you like to see as the Republican and Democrat Presidential candidates in 2008? Why?

Question

Who would you not want to be the candidates? Why?

Answer 1

Right now for Democrats Obama first choice and then maybe Gore and Republicans Guiliani. I think that Guiliani would be a great choice for republicans because as a moderate/split on issues I would not vote for another hyperconservative over focused on social conservatism republican but I would be tempted to vote for Guiliani. I think he has a lot of sense and could appeal to a wider range of voters like myself. I would love to see a strong woman candidate but I think both Hillary and Condi have too much political baggage to win. Unfortunatley, I think that the way things are they had to acquire a lot of that baggage to get where they are but it hurts them for going all the way.

Answer 2

I would like to see either Condoleezza Rice or Colin Powell on the Republican ticket. I feel both of them would be wonderful as President. Especially Colin Powell. I watched him during the first gulf war and I felt he was decisive and straight forward. He's also very well spoken.

As for the Democrats I haven't thought about who I'd like to see, but I don't want to see either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. I feel Hillary is to far left and I feel Barack Obama needs to get more experience under his belt. I don't even think he has as much experience as Bill Clinton had when he made his run for nomination on the Democratic ticket. (Which Bill Clinton never was a Senator, but he was a multiple term Governor.)

Answer 3

I don't know yet. I hope there is a republican that I feel comfortable voting for. The main reason for feeling that way is because with the house and senate being run by democrats I think a triple play is a very bad thing. Look what happened the last few years. Absolute power corrupts absolutely!

Answer 4

Barak is a nice guy - but he's being groomed and put forth as kind of a "golden boy" in the media - I presume this is to setup the match between he and Hillary. This is a bad scenario for him, as it is a trap; Hillary will have him destroyed, just as she and her husband Bill did to 50+ others.

Answer 5

Republican:
1) Sam Brownback
2) Rudy Giulliani.
3) John McCain.

Democrst:
I don't care. I plan to vote Republican.

Answer 6

Republican Ticket = John McCaine with Rudy Guliani in the VP slot.
Democratic Ticket = Barak Obama with Russ Feingold in the VP slot.

Answer 7

Republican Condi

Democrat Obama


I think it would be better if Hillary runs though....then the Republicans will win for sure. She has no shot.

Answer 8

Would love for Rudy Giuliani to run as Republican, and Barak Obama as Democrat...would be hard to go wrong no matter who got elected.
Would vote for Saddam Hussein over Hillary Clinton's lying a.ss.

Answer 9

For Republican, I do NOT want Guiliani because he supports abortion. I think Condi Rice or Bill Frist would be good, but I guess Donald Rumsfeld is out. (just joking)

For the liberals, I want to see Hillary run, because that may be the only way for many people to vote Republican in this election, because of all the hatred people have for George Bush defending our country.

I think if Condi Rice gets most of the black vote (even if she IS a Republican, how could they resist voting for their own), and as many people retch at the name of Hillary Clinton, I think we may pull it off.

Answer 10

I haven't made up my mind yet as to who I want for the Democratic candidate -- still a long time to go, and I'd like to see if any of the senators or congressmen in our new majority really distinguish themselves with leadership abilities.

I don't care who the Republican nominee is -- won't be voting for them anyway :)
