Of all the candidates, who do you think would make the best President and why?

Answer 1

Hunter,Tancredo,or Paul the so called front runners are not even real candidates they are all big joke and unfortunately the joke is on the American people.
WAKE UP

Answer 2

What you should be looking at are the people you elect for the Senate and House of Representatives. In all most all issues, these two elected areas actually make all the decisions for our country. If and only if these elected officials begin working together can our country regain its dignity, its respect for man-kind and then, maybe we can once again use the words in which this country was originally founded. We are electing people who have personal agenda....not the agenda which this country needs to grow. We, and it is seen everyday, have lost respect for the thoughts of others, we no longer take all the suggestions, ideas and study the outcome. We never determine the pros's or con's we just object because it may be something someone wants that whom we are "suppose" to "disagree" with. Let's put our country first.....not ourselves. As for a candidate....I want to see someone who wants to educate the child...not make it a "glorious campus", I want to see..."big business CEO" know the worker is the backbone of the company. Well I could go on and on but you get the meaning.

Answer 3

I think Hillary Clinton because you would get 2 for 1, Bill would be with her and he has the best Foreign Policy that was ever in Washington. All the other countries love Bill Clinton , I know he made a personal mistake but he paid by the Conservatives putting him world wide TV with all those embarrassing questions, that should been for just his family. Hillary is very smart women and if she wins I hope she chooses Obama as her Vice President and we would have a dream team. She was voted the smartest most outstanding Attorney in Arkansas, she is brilliant . She also gets along with all the foreign countries and you need the other countries to stand along beside you. Monday, Bush was voted by the other countries as the worst president of any country and the most disliked.

Answer 4

Clearly Hillary Clinton is far and away the best choice, if for no other reason than to reward the Republican pukes who have so destroyed the reputation of the United States. Her husband balanced the budget, the Republicans looted the tax coffers and all but bankrupted the country. Only another Clinton can begin to repair some the damage Bush has done. Vote straight Democrat out of pure disgust for the Republican party.

Answer 5

There are no candidates yet. There are people who want to be the democratic candidate, but we still have over a year before any of that crap.

Answer 6

Dennis Kucinich:
Has executive and legislative experience
Definitely cares about people
has the best plan for national health care
shares my ethics (he's vegan.)
Former cochair of the progressive caucus

Was the only member of the House of Representatives to speak out against the AETA.

Answer 7

Newt Gingrich....

Exceptional experience.
Honest.
Openly gives his opinions, is frank about his intentions.
Kept the "Contract with America"
Worked to reduce the tax burden for working families.

But, it makes no difference. Despite their claim to seek an "honest candidate", the liberal media would eat him for lunch daily..... and don't forget, in politics, lying is not slander... its just something Democrats do naturally.

Answer 8

Mitt Romney...he's actually got experience in both the real world and politcs. His resume is amazing, both public and private sector. His job with the Olympics in Salt Lake City and the turnaround of Massachusetts are just 2 examples of his ability.

Answer 9

None of them look good to me. I wish sen. Tom Coburn (R) from Oklahoma would run. He says what he means and means what he says. Just look some of his past quotes up. He is no phony polition.

But I believe Edwards will win. Hillary will get everyone fired up like Howard Dead did last time but be to extream to win in Iowa. Edwards will then win Iowa and the other states will follow. He will probibly chose Obama as his running mate.

Answer 10

Sen. Barack Obama. He has proven to be an eloquent speaker. It has been said that he is more popular with the white population than the black population. No where but the media do I find these statements. While my social circle cannot be assumed to be an accurate study of statistics, I cannot assume that the media reports are either, and this leads one to suspect that a manipulation of the media is in place to corral public opinion once again by dictating the definition of this individual. In any case, these kinds of statements seem like floaters to see which one will hook an unsuspecting populace. Once hooked, then the discrediting process can begin.

It’s an insidious one against which Americans need to guard themselves. Unfortunately, it seems Americans’ possession of critical analysis of what they consume is in short supply, and it is likely that another battle for fair and balanced reportage will dominate the air waves the next few years.

For me, it wasn’t Obama’s color that attracted me to his political bandwagon. If this were the only criteria, then I should also have endorsed other black candidates along the way, such as Shirley Chisolm, Colin Powell, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Carol Mosely Brown, and Al Sharpton. While I respect these men and women and their respective contributions, I cannot say I was ever moved by their words or impressed with the power of their messages, although Sharpton presented a pointed and humorous wit that I enjoyed during the 2004 primary.

Sen. Obama’s words are inspiring, regardless of his color, and it is appropriate that he use his background to express and define who he is, just like any other candidate would. The key here is discerning how he assimilated all of the events in his life and the impact these had on his understanding of his formative years. He has been able to find parallels in his life that have broad application. He expresses his experiences as distinctly American ones imbued with a profound hope for the future.

It is right that he evoked the lessons learned from history during Lincoln’s time when he announced his candidacy in Illinois. One cannot deny a Kennedy-esque appeal in his spoken vision for America.

I believe the ripple effect for his Presidency would have a profoundly positive effect on this country as well as world-wide. While it seems highly unlikely that we will impeach or force from office the current president, his Presidency would be an effective repudiation of his predecessor's entire failed presidency and an admission to the world that America screwed up, but we want to make things right. We would re-establish our place as a true super-power and leader of the world of ideas and action and overshadow our past transgression as a global bully and shill for Big Business. With President Obama in office, there would indeed be an overt empowerment of blacks and the peripheral effect could be those (of any color) who would be inclined to follow his example. With President Obama in office, there would be a return to decisive diplomacy, which will do far more to diffuse global tension and reduce acts of terror. While one cannot stop suicidal bombers with mere words, one can supplant self-destructive, nihilistic hopelessness with a looking forward to expectations with confidence and possibility. Only these things can be an antedote to despair and hate. Demonizing the enemy and attempting to quash countless insurgencies with more weaponry has not worked nor will it ever.

I look forward to the coming campaign with a renewed sense of hope in this, perhaps the most important campaign in history.
