Who are we going to see in the Presidential election?
Conventional wisdom says it will be Hillary on the Left...but every poll and report says lots of people don't like here...meaning her negative numbers are high...she still leads many of the polls, but it is hard to win when you have around 50% of the country not like you...
Obama seems much more likable, but it seems the Libs need to elect the first woman instead o the first black (second if you ask Bill).
You notice, it has nothing to do with who is the best candidate.
I guess I'll say Hillary will win, but it definitely seems Obama is much more likable.
On the right, who the hell knows.
Rudi has that toughness, which conservatives like for the war on terror, but then he goes around in women's dresses and has been married twenty seven times...which social conservatives do not like...also, it seems like he is the candidate the liberal media can drill the easiest.
McCain is done
Mitt just doesn't seem to have it.
Thompson is still really unknown...but it seems like he is not afraid to say it like it is...If that is true, and he is not afraid to fight back, it will be him.
So it looks like Clinton vs Thompson right now...and since I have no idea how Thompson will handle himself...there is no way you can honestly say who would win that match-up in 2008.
Another question: If we have a terrorist attack before next Nov...who does that help politically? Right or Left?

Clinton-Obama v. Romney-Somebody.
Have a hard time seeing anyone esle at the top of the tickets, and Clinton would just be stoopid to piss off the Obama crowd by neglecting him.
Romney is clearly the institutional favorite. Look at where his money and staff are coming from: The same place it came from for W, the same place it cam from for Dole. He's the institutional Republican choice.
Rudy McRomney is history.
Obama is out of the running as well. He does not possess the necessary experience and is hard pressed for solutions to the nation's problems.
America is also not ready for a black president, and I fear he'll be assassinated by the right to stir up ethnic tensions.
One of the conditions Gingrich laid out for Thompson is that, if Thompson fails to gain traction, Gingrich will enter the race as frontrunner.
Likewise, Gore is a wild card for the Democrats.
I don't believe we've seen ANYTHING yet....

Uh, I just don't think either one of those is true. Firstly, Obama has the funding edge. His negatives are a lot lower than Hillary - who everybody believes will win but nobody actually seems to support. (So who's going to vote for her in the primaries, exactly?) And he has years of experience as a legislator in two houses.
And the culture of Washington is so sick that I don't see insider experience as a good thing. I think Obama has a much better shot than you think.
But honestly I think it's just way too early to know - or even care. Christ what a ridiculously long primary season. Thanks so much, Arnold.
I have no doubt in my mind that Hillary will win the Democratic nomination. The VP question is more interesting -- I suspect Hillary will put Richardson on the ticket in an effort to flip Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.
On the Republican side I'd put my money on Fred Thompson, who knows how to do the down-to-earth stuff Republican voters slurp up. Rudy has a LOT of baggage--the crossdressing, the psycho ex-wife, and positions on gays abortion guns immigration to the left of many Democrats. I'm not certain how that's sustainable in a GOP primary, though the conventional wisdom may be wrong.
Yes, that is just flat out stupid
It's not as though Democrats haven't been assassinated before...

The party of RFK is now the party of Sirhan Sirhan. We have more to worry about than you guys.
