Who do you think will be the next president?

McCain is doing quite well in SC...you know the state that stopped his presidential hopes cold in 2000. He also has a 21-pt lead over his nearest competitor in AL.

Having a 21-point lead 14 months before the election is like having a 21-point lead in the 2nd quarter of an NBA game -- ain't going to last, and expect a heavy run by the other team.

 

Yes, but it shows that McCain is acceptable to a strong percentage of Republican primary voters in the Deep South, a sentence that seemed highly improbable 6 years ago.

 

belichick. he wins every state but ohio. ;D ;D ;D

 

MODDY for pres![flash=200,200][/flash]

 

Rakim for President!

"So I start my mission
leave my residence
trying to think how I can get some dead presidents ... "

 

"I am Tim Calhoun, and I am running for the office of President of America. You're probably wondering why I, Tim Calhoun, should be next President of America, and that is why I'm going to tell you why I, Tim Calhoun, should be next president of America.

"I got a lot of great ideas. I propose a little more California, and a little less Mexico.

"When's there gonna be a China-person on the Supreme Court? I propose: Never.

"I say we ask France if they wanna trade the Eiffel Tower for the Grand Canyon, but after they send us the Eiffel Tower, we don't send them the Grand Canyon.

"Horsey sex is bad. I wanna make a law against that. Horseys are for riding.

"Blind people think they're so cool.

"I miss dinosaurs. Let's do somethin' about that.

"In conclusion, and in summary, vote for me, Tim Calhoun, and I'll turn unemployment into a shiny diamond."

 

The 2008 race will be Al Gore/Some Poor Sap That Won't Even Be Able to Get Al's Endorsement in 2014 vs. ________.

________ will win.

 

My gut tells me McCain. I wish it was telling me Gore/Obama.....

 

McCain. I really won't be that upset.

 

Recent history has shown us that the Senate is not the way to the White House.
JFK was the last sitting senator elected president.
1964 - LBJ was vice president elevated to president two years earlier when he won
1968 - Nixon was a Republican party insider and former 2-term VP
1972- Nixon re-elected
1976 - Gov. Jimmy Carter elected president
1980-1984 - Gov. Ronald Reagan elected & re-elected
1988 - VP Bush elected president
1992-1996 - Gov. Bill Clinton elected & re-elected
2000-2004 - Gov. George W. Bush elected & re-elected

Keeping that in mind, we have to look outside the Senate.
I'd love to see Edwards make another run at it.
We also have to look at the governorships too. If Corzine can straighten out this NJ economy by 2008, then he could be a good choice.

On the Republican side, a name that could do well that nobody's mentioned yet (even political pundits) -- Christie Whitman could fare well in an election.

Who will be the next president? I have no idea. But an Edwards-Corzine ticket could be interesting.
