Who do you think will be the next president?

I say John McCain.

Curious what others think.

 

Clinton/Richardson.

 

John McCain. Although Giuliani might give him a run for his money.

 

George W. Bush -- he'll sign a Presidential Signing Statement to give himself a third term.

 

Doc beat me to the correct answer.

Bush will attempt to keep the job.

 

John McCain

 

I'm hoping for a McCain/Giuliani ticket...

I think democrats would have a hard time not voting for either... Plus, both are relatively moderate and that's what this country needs...

 

Rudy Guiliani.

I hope it's Hilary, but dont think she's ready yet.

 

That ticket would never win a Republican primary anywhere south of the Mason Dixon.

 

What if there's a martial law in effect. You know, some catastrophe, say 8-12 week before elections, convienently causes an indefinite postponement of said elections?

 

It's your thread Mizzou, but it would work better as a poll. Anyway, my order of possibility:

1. McCain -- I still don't think he'll get the GOP nomination, but him being No. 1 shows how wide-open it is.)
2. Hillary --- yeah she's polarizing, but she's also way ahead in the money race.
3. Warner --- the Dem. alternative to Hillary.
4. Romney --- rising quickly
5. Gore --- I say 50-50 he does run.
6. Edwards --- very quietly rebuilding financial and organizational support outside of Washington
7. Allen --- has fallen on my list the last few months.
8. Bayh --- In 1996 everyone thought he was the next big thing, but he's still young.
9. Obama --- only this low because he prob. won't run
10. Mike Huckabee (gov. of Arkansas.) --- you can start to see him as the likable conservative alternative to McCain.

 

If the Dems want any shot at all, they need to get their strongest candidate to live in Ohio and Florida for the next two years. That's the ONLY shot at winning. Those 2 states will be the election in 08. Pennsylvania might be third.
