Okay. By now most of us has heard of the Presidential candidates in pursuit of 2008. By now we all know the heavyweights. Hillary, Barack, John Edwards, Guiliani, McCain, Romney. Now let's look at the scenarios. First of all, Edwards and Romney are running third fiddle. So they are out of the way. Next, McCain agrees so much on things with Bush such as Iraq and illegal immigration that conservatives may not look his way at all(take a look at the recent polls.) Obama has only been in Congress for two years without much of a record, which will hurt him. That leaves Clinton and Guiliani. Clinton will more than likely win the democratic nomination with not many problems. Guiliani will probably win the Republican nomination, although he's pro-choice. He seems the most electable in the GOP. Now, Clinton vs Guiliani. Guiliani will not go across well in the south because of his stand on abortion. Some Republicans may not even vote for that reason(they certainly won't vote for Clinton.)

Independents will probably vote democrat because of the war in Iraq. Clinton seems not to connect with the average American, although she will heavily get the women's vote, hurting Guiliani. Stacked head to head, Clinton seems more electable. But is it possible to even have a woman President? Will she be tough on defense? Will she bring the troops home? Answer these questions, and we are looking at the next president of the U.S. The independent vote will probably hand her the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (again.)

I would say it will go like this (not saying I necessarily support this scenario...at least as yet...but I think this will happen)....
Fred Thompson is going to get in the race. Republican support will file behind him very quickly. He wins the nomination handily.
Hillary gets the Dem nomination fairly handily as well.
Hillary may do herself in at this point by picking a very bad VP. If not then it will be close all the way to election day. The Republican's will rally to keep Clinton out of the White House.
In the end...I think Fred Thompson likely wins, in a very close election (probably dependent upon 1 or 2 states).

I say Clinton/Edwards will take the lead. I like Barak, but i dont think he can make it nationwide.
People are a bit frustrated with republicans this year. How bout making the election non partisan so you can just vote for the BEST Candidate instead of a party ticket.
I would like to see if there are good republican candidates that would mix with good dems.. that would be the ultimate freedom to choose.. forget abortion. make the electoral process where you get your hands wet..and CHOOSE!

id rather die then live under giuliani hes a dictator waiting to happen
clinton suck
Maybe you dont agree with paul on everything but there are certain undeniable facts and this country would be better under ron paul than the above aformentioned retards.
Besides Do you want to live in North American Union?? Because if you dont like immigration than how can you like a member of the CFR!??!
Lets band together and get Ron Paul elected hes better then the other guys and has a decent following not to mention hes up to about 5 milllion in donations so far.
Vote for Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron Paul says
The Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply — making each dollar in your pocket worth less. The Fed is a private bank run by unelected officials who are not required to be open or accountable to “we the people.” Worse, our economy and our very independence as a nation is increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia, because their central banks also finance our runaway spending. We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies, lobbyists, corporations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to dictate the size of our ballooning budget. We need a new method to prioritize our spending. It’s called the Constitution of the United States.
So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a threat to our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites. The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a doctor”s prescription to take herbs and vitamins. Alternative treatments could be banned. The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws, yet we still face trade wars. Today, France is threatening to have U.S. goods taxed throughout Europe. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs. NAFTA”s superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders between the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of powerful special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under this scheme. And a free America, with limited, constitutional government, would be gone forever.
MOST IMPORTANTLY
He can be trusted unlike any other politician that is running...
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

I pretty much agree with you up until the final election predictions. I think it will be Clinton vs. Guliani as well, but I hesitate to make a final call at this point. There is too much time til the final run and too much can happen.

Romney has the BEST chance to win the Republican nomination, he's the most Conservative. At least until Fred Thompson jumps in.

each vote is biased to a pair degree. all of us have our prejudices while it is composed of what we seem for in a candidate. for a lot of human beings, those prejudices replace from election to election and is a reaction to their suggestions with regard to the status quo. in case you tell me what you think of is ideal and what's incorrect with regard to the present administration, i will assist you comprehend what kind of candidate you're probable to vote for. The question then will become what candidate can sell themselves as ideal assembly that photograph. i do no longer think of Senator Clinton is maximum efficient because of the fact she is a woman. She is maximum efficient because of the fact she represents a return to the Clinton era (it is prevalent between Democrats whether some interior the final public -- no longer inevitably a majority -- worry that threat). mutually as his race facilitates Senator Obama particularly, his conversing potential and his potential to pose as extra of an agent of replace than the different considerable applicants is likewise an significant area. i will make comparable notes approximately what the main Republicans are advertising to their voters. For each of the applicants, it continues to be too early to tell what voters are going to desire in December, January, and February for the primaries, and much extra durable to tell what they're going to desire next November.

Last time I checked , we were at war with the Taliban. Why should we let one of their cousins inti the White House?
This one happened 150 years ago but I think its still relevant because Mitt Romneys church pardoned a terrorist mass murderer of Americans and protected the 100 or so other Mormons involved from federal prosecution!
It was September 11, 1857. A wagon train of 160 settlers on their way to California was massacred by a bunch of Mormons dressed in Indian clothes. 17 children under the age of 8 were spared and lived to tell their story.
1st. They dressed as Indians but after five days they changed tactics.
2nd. Then they went a bit away ,dressed back into normal clothes and acted like the Rescue Party who had negotiated a deal with the"Indians".
3rd, Then confiscated all the guns as part of the deal for "saving" the travellers and Mormon dissidents( who were the reason for the attack in the first place).
4th. Took everybody off a mile or so and shot them all. 2 men got away but were eventually tracked down and killed a day or so later.
5th. Took the 17 children they had not killed back with them to Salt Lake City.
6th. Got away with it. After a publicized trial, with the childrens own testimony admitted into the court, only 1 man was convicted and shot, John D. Lee. ( pardoned by Church 1960)
It ended up being called the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The first time in U.S. history that U.S. citizens were massacred on U.S. soil by religious wackos. This event is even more significant because the total U.S. population at the time was much smaller.(I dont know the exact numbers, maybe only 30 million or so) In todays numbers it would be around 1400 dead

Quite frankly, I don't think any of the current front runners, on either side, will wind up president.
America is looking for a leader with new ideas and strong leadership. None of current frontrunners have that.
