I know that the election for President is pretty far off in the distance but now seems as good as any other time to start throwing around some predicitons.

These are the people most likely to gain their party nomination.

Stupid Poll Hillary should have been on there too. Consider her a write in candidate.

[note: Wild, I added her as an obvious option--Lee]

Take you anyday over publicity Hillary. I think we will see her charming face plastered like goody two shoes. Cannot control a marrage, how is she going to control a country?

None of the above; Rudolph Giuliani.

He's been getting $100,000 a speech and now he's giving them for free. You can't get paid for political speeches, it's illegal so why turn down a 100 grand twice this weekend?

Pawlenty actually has decided not to run, but my money is on McCain for president and he will pick Pawlenty as his vice president. Guiliani doesn't stand a chance. For one he is not even a Republican yet he is running as one.

Simple; because the Liberals are to blame for every woe facing America today. I mean, ask any Republican. How could this possibly be disputed? :lol:

As soon as I can reconcile that against the past seven years of a Republican President/House/Senate, more will be revealed.

PASTRAPIDSFAN...that was almost as dumb of a comment as when you said Tech was the best team in the Central Lakes Conference.

That'd be like me asking the Dems why they would vote Democrat. If everyone in the world was a democrat, the world would be a mess. If everyone in the world would be a republican, same story. The two different viewpoints are a necessity to have some control over humanity.

It is way too early to be concerned about our next President. However, unfortunately there are a few potential candidates in this country more concerned with themselves (and their party) attaining power, than our national defense. So get used to the political bantering for the next two years (pathetic!) as the liberal media will certainly ablige.

Thank God we have a president in power with priorities in order, and the backbone to stand up to principles even though many in this country are wavering. Can't walk away from this war people, this isn't Vietnam, these people are serious,....serious enough to fly our airplanes into two of our large buildings,....remember.

I thank God every day for our President. Hopefully, there is a capable replacement. Quite frankly, there is only one name in the above list, even worthy of consideration,.....hopefully a capable candidate will emerge in the next two years.

I am in your court - although I do admit there has been mistakes made in regard to this war but it needs to be seen through to completion. It is no where near in comparison to Vietnam. If anything the best comparision is found in what Clinton created in Bosnia except he didn't have the courage to call it what it was. Although Iraq was not directly responsible for 9/11 it was responsible for brokering US hatered and of course the daily genocide of it's own people. Being the world's policeman is duty we must serve for being the world's leader.

The only downside of this war is there has never ever been peace in this part of the world. The best we might hope for is a foundation of democracy that did not exsist before.

Has anyone read " The greatest generation" have we forgotten the importance of our freedoms and the men who fought for those freedoms. If you forget, go out to Fort Snelling and let me know if you do not feel the blood and tears that made this country the best in the world.

Liberals lack the backbone to do the right thing and bigger goverment is not a better goverment.

There is not a candidate mentioned isted here that I would vote for.
McCain has become too moderate. I too hope that someone else emerges in the next two years.

I read The Greatest Generation and although I thought the book got a little repetitive it made me gain an unreal amount of respect for what my grandparents did for our country.

Here Here! Spot on - you must be a reader of Ann Coultier? Her sentiments exactly and I couldn't agree more

Never too early.

We all need to be involved with open ears, open mind, but keep your principles in hand.

I don't think a woman can win, yet.

Obama cannot win. And he may be a decent man, but he is taking the same risk ML King took. I pray for his safety.

I think McCain could do a good job.

But before I back someone I want to see who else will come forward.

Haha, not a reader of Ann Coultier, just a 20 year old kid trying to make sense of today's world.

I'll agree with elliott on this one, I can't make a vote for the 2008 presidential election before I hear the platform of each individual.

well stated elliot about keeping principles in hand while listening carefully.

George - keeping kicking them straight on with a square toe
