Huckabee seems to be the most sound, solid held together candidate by his convictions. I have favored McCain but believe Huckabee would be an outstanding VP with McCain only because I WANT a real commander-in-Chief this time and McCain is the only one for the job - Huckabee would be a great strength to McCain's experience and I would call them a DYNAMIC DUO 11/29/2007 17:00

Romney is a strong candidate, but falls short of Giuliani because he cannot bring electoral victory in the General election in BLUE STATES. He will get crucified in the general electoral as a right wing religious wacko, even though the charge has no merit. They will do it to him simply because he is a Mormon, from a very connected Mormon family, and it will sell to the democratic electorate. He would also be a strong VP candidate, because by not being at the top of the ticket, he could deflect criticism more easily. If Bush 41 could get away with Dan Quayle, surely Romney could be a good VP. I hope Giuliani selects either Huckabee or Romney for VP. A Huckabee Romney ticket could also be strong, but would lack the electoral punch that Giuliani will bring in the Northeast.

Rudy Giuliani will be the next President. He will win New York which is 39 electoral votes and a 78 point switch. He will win New Jersey which is 15 electoral votes and a 30 point switch. I could go on, but you people are bright enough to do the electoral math yourselves. The money that the Democratic Party will have to spend defending the Northeast in the most expensive media market in the world will crush their strategy of spending money in Red states for their own victory. Giuliani will win with a minimum of 300 electoral votes, most likely with 350 or more and perhaps even close to 400. It only takes 270 to win. No other candidate brings this bonus to the Republican party. The Democrats have not had to spend money in the Northeast since the election of Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Barack is too inexperienced, Hillary can't win the general election, I agree John Edwards is sincere and bright and I think he is electable against the republicans. After all Kerry won the popular vote and he was his running mate. 11/29/2007 14:27

The only thing worse than a democrat looking to raise taxes to pay for the messes created by the federal government is a republican who claims to be fiscally conservative and opposed to taxes of any sort (to get elected) and then spends more than the democratic administrations ever did and refuses to pay for their expenditures, rather puts them on the "credit card" and pushes them off onto next year, next president, or future generations to take care of. I'll take responsible taxes and paying for what you spend over irresponsible credit card, pay in the future, no new taxes republicans any time. 11/29/2007 13:42

Edwards may have the appeal of JFK but he most certainly does not have the politics. JFK understood that by lowering taxes the Feds would actually increase thier revenues. There is not a Democrat alive that gets that. Conservatives do. They understand that very well.

Hey Democrats! If you like tax increases so much then why don't you just volunteer to pay more in taxes rather than mandate it. There is nothing stopping you. The IRS will gladly take all of you money if you want to contribute. Just leave the rest of us poor working stiffs alone. We pay too much as it is. 11/29/2007 13:26

Edwards has the appeal of John Kennedy and the heart to match. 11/29/2007 13:02

i will vote for barack obama. this is a good sign.. the world is really changing. i don't consider color as big factor anymore. if you can handle the job.. i go for it.barack has the most confiedence and i believe america needs him. whites don't matter anymore. after all this country originally belongs to the indians. long live minoritiea!!!!! america you bel;ong to every race.. 11/29/2007 12:34

It's ridiculous to vote for her simply because she is a woman just as it would be wrong to vote for someone just because they happen to be black. The sex nor the race will not help at all once they sit in the Oval office. 11/29/2007 11:50

Racism and ignorance is the problem with this country, that's why it is weakening. We need to worry about the best candidate for the position regardless of race or gender. People to me are worried to much about there own traditional beliefs without tolerance and respect for others beliefs. Same sex relationships scandals and Religion is a ploy to mask the real issues at hand in the game of politics. People need to think about what is really important; Is making sure we have adequate healthcare for our families or making sure same sex marriages do not pass into law? Listen to the underlying truth..for example you Bush supporters were so hung up into supporting the ban against gay marriages that you did not know he was allowing lobbyist healthcare companies take away our healthcare benefits, corporations to receive major tax cut for taking there businesses overseas and taking away our jobs, Now we have billions of dollars deficit because you did not pay attention to the real issues. Most of you paid attention to the country good ole' boy that has white skin that so called represents the False "True American". all I can say is "WAKE UP", for the one that knows all about Obama, look at his track record on what he has been doing for his town, and all the good things he have been doing for this country before he even decided to become president. I am not saying to vote for him, I am, if his name comes on that ballot, but I am saying for whom ever you vote for look for the true track record of actions and stop judging people by their skin color or gender. Once again, because that is what it is all about and Americans need to stop lying to themselves about it. If Obama was white or if Hillary was a man would any of these silly issues about them really be issues? 10/11/2007 17:22

In reading different posts and forums I have come to realize that no one seem to be concern with the real answer for America. Playing politics is old, just like Rap. When will we realize that without God there is no existence. We've moved away from our basic principles. Taking God out of the pledge of allegiance, its ok for men to have sex with other men, as well as women having sex with women-what an abomination, let alone getting married. truly an abomination not just to God but to mankind. -God protect our children-. Look @ television, You cant watch the news anymore, its to painful, cartoons aren't the same. So we adjusted to say cartoons for adults is a cartoon that swears and show your private parts. Still we are feasting somewhat similar to Israel after being delivered from Pharaoh- For what cost are we willing to die. For what cost are we willing to live. Have we forgotten what got us here. "One nation under God". I am ignorant as to the ways of the politician and want to remain that way. I fear we are to far to turn around but the God in me want let me give up on us; so I watch and pray. It would be easier to vote if we had a reality show on the candidates. To really get chance to see you without the suite Mr. Obama, to see you without the make up Mrs. Clinton- to see if that smile is genuine Mr.Politician. I do take pleasure in seeing Mrs. Clinton Speak as well as Mr. Obama but I dont know none of you- so voting is guessing. Although I will vote, cause I do believe, but in accordance with my belief, I will pray also; not for a particular candidate, but for whoever is elected. That they have compassion for the world like Christ- No ideas on the reality show we've had enough. You cant change people they have to change themselves and the world will continue to evolve but in the process of its new formation-ask yourself what have I done to contribute to the cause for better change! 10/10/2007 16:34

I'm not going to try to tell anyone who to vote for. I'm sorry to say that the best person to lead this nation will not be on the ballot. I don't know who this person is but I do know that that person doesen't have all the corprate money to stand a chance. If we want reform as a nation we must demand it. Put away the religion, race and sex. This doesn't matter. We are all people. Let's stand together and do what's right. The only thing we need to do is respect each other and our beliefs. For once I would like us to respect our constitution as much as we do our flag. We get so upset to see someone burn a flag but we turn a blind eye while our goverment burns our constitution. I ask every one to remember all those in history that have given their life and sometimes more for your rights. Let's not be so fearful that we just stand by and let it be taken away. Fight for them. Fight for our children. Remember "We The People." It isn't just our right to question our goverment it's our duty. 10/10/2007 14:50

I worked for Mitt during the 2002 Olympic Games. At a time when a "problem solver" is need, there isn't a better option. 10/10/2007 14:35

hey alnkansah, how about we vote in the most qualified candidate, not just the one who happens to be a woman. how about you take a second and look at what democracy really is you moron, if you want true equality amongst everyone we would ignore race, gender, sexual preference, and age and vote purely on the persons beliefs. give me a break with the "it is mens' turn to do the same" stuff. That is pathetic if thats what you think a democratic equality is. close minded moron. 10/10/2007 13:22

It is time she is given the chance to rule. Men should understand what democracy means. For many years women voted men into power. It is mens' turn to do the same. 10/10/2007 13:04

Who is Barack Obama? Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita,Kansas.

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta.

He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office - he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equivalent to our Bible, but very different beliefs). 10/10/2007 12:12

Has everyone been going to the bathroom, or to get a drink everytime Biden speaks?? Come on, people! Open your ears AND your eyes. No one tells it like it is in EITHER party like Joe Biden. He's as intelligent, honest and presidential as you'd ever hope to find in a politician. Give him a listen. You'll find him refreshing. 10/10/2007 11:50

Mitt has the most character. he's charismatic with depth. he's real and he's what America needs. he is presidential in his looks and resume. 10/09/2007 21:54

John McCain gets my vote! He's the most honest and honorable of ALL candidates--both sides! I thought it was very telling that most Republican candidates had said that if they weren't running themselves that they would vote for McCain! 10/09/2007 20:54

he better retire 10/09/2007 19:53

Fred Thompson is the best candidate for 2008, he will push for a return to true conservative values. 10/09/2007 17:47
