And the GOP rejoices...

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Actually, the Bulworth character was a Democrat (link to synopsis) .

Interestingly, that film, distributed and financed by Fox, would never have been made, except that W. Beatty (director, writer & star) had financing for it (then, an unspecified project) a condition in his contract for making the disappointing Dick Tracy movie, a couple years earlier.

Well it just goes to show how they all look the same these days.

Had you shown me Blair's latest speach ten years ago I wouldn't have believed that was Labour.

[KukriKhan]

H'ain't it the truth, mate.

[Hosakawa Tito]

Obama is a Liberal Democrat with no Foreign Policy experience. He has little to no chance drawing moderate Republican votes. McCain has plenty of Foreign Policy experience to go along with his war hero status and will attract more conservative Democrat votes.

Kukri, can you even name a third party presidential candidate? Neither can I.
How about Pat Paulson?

The Dems might be better off nominating Wesley Clark to take on McCain.
However, the problem with party politics is that there's too much concern for the party's perceived needs than for the electorate, and the best candidate for the people sometimes doesn't get the nomination.

[Marshal Murat]

I consider myself a moderate Republican and like Obama, but lack of foreign experiance does lend to a stumbling block. What about Obama-McCain? Lol.

Anyway, Hillary will be punching through, and I hope she gets shot down over Iowa and New Hampshire.

If I were able to vote in the 08 elections I would certainly not vote for that [appropriate expletive]. 2 terms of a lying Clintonian policy is enough.

Edit: Is Rice going to run for President then?

[Cowhead418]

Any chance David Palmer is on the ticket? I used to be so excited that I'd be able to vote in this next election (I'm currently 16), but I've come to hate politicians so much that I just don't care anymore. Ah, American politics - where you vote not for you like best, but for who you hate least.

You do realize, of course, that not voting is our age group's most aggravating problem. We are beaten over, robbed of our wages for some nonsensical taxes and social programs that'll never see the light of day, programs that actually benefit us are cut every time somebody wants to be "balanced budget advocate," our future prospects, and all sorts of highway robbery and nobody cares because we don't vote anyway.

It's the old people that get all those fat money from ye olde government, Medicaid, Social Security, and all that. Because they vote; those bloody partisan retirees with too much time in their hands, them. You see them lot every political convention out there, wearing stupid party shirts, waving dumb flags, giving standing ovations to every low-brow partisan demagoguery, electing in said idiotic demagogues, so they could get all the money the government robbed from their grandchildren. :P

Of course, once I vote ("if"), I'll be theoretically held accountable for whatever scummery my elected overlord decides to act upon (aka the German people voted Hitler in, it's their fault the Holocaust happens!), a guarantee for almost all the politicians out there. Which explains why many don't vote.

[Fisherking]

Or for some people this may explain some of it.

I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.

Don't complain, over half the electorate here seems to be retired and living off of hand-outs. If we don't put an age limit on voting soon this country will be doomed.

What I think:

Obama is a moron

Hilary is the one I would vote for...if she is as good as her husband, America will be in good shape once her term is over.

[KukriKhan]

LoL. Kukri's prediction for the November '08 ballot:

-Dems will pick Clinton-Edwards for their ticket.

-Repubs will go with McCain-Romney.

-Obama, having been sqeezed out by the Dem whisper machine, will 'do a Lieberman' and run Indy, try to get Powell (who'll decline) and finally hook up with Lieberman, totally ticking off the Klanny-types.

30% of the popular vote to each, for the 1st time in history. 51% of the Electoral College to (fill in the blank - too early to tell).

You saw it here first, folks.

[JimBob]

Barack Obama has the charisma and standing to draw moderate Republicans (like me) to his standard while still appealing to Democratic bases. His draw back is his inexperiance, which is going to be inflated into another Earth.

Go to SCOTT STANTIS

I'd like to see Obama win. But if Clinton gets nominated I'll have one of three choices 1) Hope Giuliani or Romney gets nominated by the Republicans. 2) Write in 'Mike Ditka' 3) Begin the revolution.

[Marshal Murat]

Obama 08', Osama in 09', Peace in 10'

Anyway....

[Papewaio]

Considering the buy one get two for the Whitehouse idea of the Clintons before shouldn't this this count as her third term ... she was obviously wearing the pants because he certainly wasn't wearing his.

[Devastatin Dave]

we didn't want to know (Ser Clegane)

[Strike For The South]

I'd vote Ditka

[Crazed Rabbit]

Bah, Hillary is a socialist (though not as inept of a politician as of late) - gun grabbing, nationalized health, etc.

Obama is also a gun grabbing, big time socialist - much more liberal than the bed wetting in adoration media makes him out to be.

Guliania is more RINO than I'd like, McCain seems to not mind the constitution, Romney is from Massachusetts...

We'll see how it turns out.

Is that ever funny. I made my first post before I had read your post, CR.

[yesdachi]

I wouldn’t mind a female president but Hillary is such a disgusting person I can’t see it happening for her, and I would be embarrassed to be an American if it does. I think this election will be very dependant on the VP nominations.
