I would like to see Rudy Giuliani run and win, but I doubt it, because a lot of people still don't really know who he is.
I guess I would say McCain. There are others, but can't think of them right now.

I think it depends largely on our presence in Iraq at the time. If we are still there, the republicans can kiss the election goodbye. As for who I think it would be... I don't know. If it is a republican, I would like to see it be McCain but that depends on whether or not his party decides to do a hatchet job on him again like they did 6 years ago. As for dems... I like Hillary.

For the Democrats, I do think Hillary will run, but she will not win. There are just too many things she has working against her.
For the Republicans, I have no idea who's even seriously in the running. I liked McCain a few years ago, but he just seems more and more flaky lately. I know Frist is one option, but other than hearing his name, I know NOTHING about him. Guliani is still good in my opinion because of his actions on 9/11, but I have no idea if he'd be a good President.

I have consistently voted for her over the years, for my own reasons. I trust her with the stewardship of our community, although I may not agree with all of her positions.
Here ya go, ragheads, deal with a woman named Feinstein! Bwaaaahahahahahahaha!
Hey, the only thing that could make it sweeter would be a black man named Obama toadying to her as VP!
Ya want my vote? That's my final answer. Otherwise I'll vote for Jeb.

Just to prove how many lemmings there are in the Republican party... Bush tied for 3rd and took over 10% of the vote. McCain is such a flip flopper, never being able to decide whether he actually supports Bush or not going as far as to make a mockery of the poll.

Frist wins Memphis straw poll of '08 presidential hopefuls
MEMPHIS (AP) — With home-field advantage, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist placed first in an informal poll of 2008 presidential hopefuls at a Republican conference Saturday night.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist received 36.9% of the votes at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference's "straw poll."
Greg Campbell, AP
The two-term Tennessee senator received 526 first-place votes, or 36.9%, at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference's "straw poll" sponsored by Hotline, a political digest. Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney finished second with 14.4% and Sen. George Allen of Virginia finished third, tied with President Bush who cannot seek a third term.
The results were not a surprise and were unlikely to impact the still-evolving 2008 presidential field. Frist was the only potential candidate who aggressively recruited delegates.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, among the most popular Republicans in national surveys, threw a wrench in the polling Friday night by asking delegates to vote for Bush as a show of support. He finished a distance fifth.

And here are a LOT of the reasons we won't be seeing a democratic president in the WH...maybe for generations to come.

"We can do better," but don't ask us how
By David Limbaugh
Mar 14, 2006
Yes, Republicans are experiencing great difficulties right now, but the good news -- politically speaking -- is that Democrats are in even worse shape. While they can feast on their anti-Bush cuisine between elections, they're eventually going to have to come up with a menu of their own.
Today, they not only have no menu; they don't even have recipes for basic dishes. Their problem is not that they have too many cooks in the kitchen, but none. All of their chefs are in the Republicans' kitchen, and they don't know how to return to their own.
Their negativity alone is not going to get them back into the White House or majority status in Congress. Eventually -- by all rights, it already ought to be too late -- they're going to have to come up with an agenda.
But so far they can't be bothered. They're busy -- doing the people's work in slandering President Bush and nobly ferreting out the "culture of corruption." Their self-appointed function is to undo, rather than do.
Democrats promised to produce their legislative agenda by November 2005, to give voters a full year before the 2006 elections to absorb their proposals. One wonders what they were doing the rest of 2005, or since 2001, for that matter.
But one need not wonder. The answer is that they excused themselves from developing an agenda because Bush-bashing was a far safer, easier and more satisfying pastime.
One can only imagine the irresistible temptations they face to delay the unveiling of their sure-to-be earth-shattering blueprint. Once they do, they won't be able to focus the nation's attention as sharply on the evils and incompetence of President Bush. The release of their plan, in fact, will be an annoying distraction. But worse, it will require them to stand behind and defend something of their own.
As it turned out, November 2005 came and went. Dem honchos decided it was too early to release the plan. Too early? Too early for what? Surely not too early for a nation they have been telling us is in dire trouble. No, too early to allow them to best capitalize on the plan's publication.
Not to worry. They said they would have the plan ready by January. Once again, the party with all the answers failed again to give us any of them. They have since scheduled and missed two more "deadlines," but House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi assures us the document will be ready in "a matter of weeks."
Just so there is no confusion here, the "plan" concerns their proposed legislative agenda. They can't even get their act together on domestic issues. But they're in even more chaos when it comes to ideas about the War on Terror, especially Iraq.
What do they suggest we do? Withdraw outright? No, that's just the Murtha/Clooney brigade. The Biden faction wants us to withdraw soon, but only if the political conditions in the country don't improve. That's bold of you, Joe.
What does John Kerry want? Who could ever know? The poor man didn't even tell us during the entirety of his laborious presidential campaign. Not long ago, he and his fellow geniuses were demanding more troops, then quickly reverting back to their withdrawal demands.
What about Iran or North Korea? Democrats sure have relentlessly slammed Bush over not discovering a magical solution to neuter these two "Axis of Evil" charter members. On one side of their mouths, they say Bush is not being tough enough and is doing nothing. On the other, they issue dire warnings that he might actually do something.
Meanwhile, they tell us we aren't doing enough to capture Osama, "the tallest man in Afghanistan." Forgetting their childishly myopic view of the War on Terror, this mantra is wearing thin. Do they really believe President Bush isn't doing everything he can to find Osama and al-Zarqawi? If so, perhaps they can tell us where they are, or explain why the military they so love has not yet produced them.
The sad truth is that the Democrats have articulated no plan for the WOT or Iraq because they don't have one. Their worldview tells them -- facts and reality be damned -- that this war is largely a matter of our failure of diplomacy, international relations, and shortcomings in winning the hearts and minds of the murderers who want to kill us.
Their platitude, "We can do better," is not likely to fool enough voters when they can't even do "better enough" to produce a plan. The only thing they're better at these days is naysaying.
But if such empty slogans end up working, this country is headed for worse trouble than even these professional critics can imagine.
