Do you think the 2008 election will be about choosing the lesser of 2 evils?

Question

I'm worried we won't have any good candidates to choose from and this is what it will come down to.

Answer 1

Presidential elections usually are. Outside of the rare instances such as when Reagen was running we are forced to make a choice between the quazi qualified (Bush) and the dangerous idiot (Kerry) . Somehow our nation always gets by. The true power of our country is it's people not our government

Answer 2

There are many options for candidates running as we all know. The problem is they are either democrats or republicans, so their own party decides who will represent them and there in lies an inherent danger, we get what THEY pay for. It is a time for a change that is for sure. It amazes me just as I predicted, the public re elected GW and soon then after the complaints started against the same policies. This nation has the power to change, the democrats should win easily, only they can blow it with Clinton and old party members. John Edwards for now seems the logical choice but doubtful he can get the party support with the big names and the race card playing. Obama and Clinton would not make a good running team, too much power behind both and Obama is too intelligent to be her vice president and all know it. One of them will not be in the final running. If they do combine the two sections, I foresee the republicans staying in office with the democrats cutting their own throats. With Bill Clinton sitting once again in the oval office, when policy goes wrong, we all know he will be criticized in making policy along with Hillary. Her allegence to him after all his affairs tells the world she stands by her man, right or wrong and you have to ask yourself was all of this because of politics? Personally, I am still waiting for my free health insurance they promised this nation if he was elected and he handed it over to her and they swept their promises under the carpet, blaming the republicans. If both of them could not do as promised then, why would any idiot believe them now? Don't fall again for their hype people, it's about power. Isn't it odd that come election time, "we the people" hear all the broken promises, why can't they just be good old people in DC and do what is right, decent and needed?

Answer 3

I believe we have to see who is running in both parties. We have to evaluate who we like from our party and hope they make it through the primaries. Then once the primaries are over we have to look at the candidates. No candidate is ever going to be perfect. We have to look at the good and bad points for each according to our own belief systems. Then we should vote for the one who most closely aligns with ourselves. If a candidate tells us 100% of what we are hoping to hear then look more closely. There are those who tailor their message to the audience they are pandering to and you must look at other venues to see if they are consistent in there message.

So no I don't think the election will be about choosing the lesser of two evils. It will be about value systems and beliefs.

Answer 4

i ought to truthfully favor a Barr administration yet regrettably, his marketing campaign won't be able to look to get adequate traction to positioned him everywhere close to electable. If i change into planning to no longer vote with the intention to reveal my disatisfaction, i ought to truthfully solid my vote his way.

McCain is the type of "democrat" my father voted for and the Democratic party has change into an lively version of it is former self having moved so some distance to the left.

Why is the media only focusing on the democratic candidates? I barely hear any squeaks about who the republicans might run.

That's always been the case. Nobody's perfect, even politicians
