Poll Question:
As the 2008 Presidential election draws nearer a large number of folks on both sides of the aisle are announcing their desire to hold that office. I've listed 7 folks from each major party- who would you ideally like to vote for? If your person isn't listed then tell us about them and tell us how to find out more about them.
Many people seem to think that this next election will be one of the most crucial in US history- any thoughts? Anyone you are afraid to have win? Any candidates that you see as being able to bridge the gap between Democrats and Republicans?
UPDATE- as candidates drop out of the race they will be dropped from the poll
Who Can Vote? Only Members can vote. You need to register or be logged in to vote.

| I still think there's a chance Al Gore might join the race. If I remember correctly, didn't Bill Clinton officialy announce relatively late? |

Newt Gingrich!!  Let's see, wasn't he having an affair right at the time he was screaming about Slick Willy & Monica?
Newt & Al Gore, the 2 who might be worse than Hillary... |

| Under those guide lines, not most ex-presidents wouldn't be able to run, especially Jack Kennedy. Sometimes we tend to forget, we're not selecting someone for sainthood, but a human being to do a certain and difficult job. |

| I"ve already seen at least five "Newt in 2008" bumper stickers in my wanderings around South Carolina in the past month or so, as opposed to absolutely no other stickers for other Republican candidates who have already declared. I don't quite know what exactly this says about South Carolina political tastes, but the Republican party here is already very fractured as to who they would support. So it'll be interesting. |

MG, I wasn't complaining about Clinton's or JFK's daliances (although that offends me greatly) but about the blatant hypocracy of Gingrich going ballistic over Clinton's sexual escapades while he was doing the same sort of thing... 
Actually, Clinton's bald-faced lies about his 'indescretions' are what really get my goat. That, and claiming that he 'didn't inhale.'  |

Ya' know I really hate voting! All politicians talk with "forked tongues". I can't stand hypocracy and lying. Still, I vote for the one I "believe" (if'n you wanna' call it that) the most.
Sure as hell it won't be Clinton!! BOOHISS!

As a Libertarian, I would most likely vote for whomever wins that nomination. There are about a half dozen Libertarians running--hard to guess who among them will get the nomination.
Iraq War is the main issue for me. |

| Many folks think he'd make a great President. However, he has to get past the primaries, very expensive and that isn't even the real fight. Both parties "pick" their candidate - not the people. His only alternative is to run as an independent - doubt he has the bucks. Carter ran at a time as an outsider, a popular idea with the people, but not the party. When he ran for re-election, Kennedy ran against him!! That divided the Dems like no tommorrow - and he was done before it started. Regan was going to win anyway - the election was just a formality. Unless he can get the parties nomination, - he doesn't stand a chance. |

isn't that the truth. all you can do is a little research to figure out the subtle differences between crap, manure, turd, feces, dingleberry and guano then go to the polls and vote for one of them. as long as people care enough to make that choice they're doing their bit to improve the system. if people don't care enough to do that they shouldn't complain about the stink. |

Here's an email I recently received from my brother-in-law. It just seems to fit here:

Unfortunately, the birth dates aren't quite accurate, after all. Only Al Gore was born in March of 1948. So...this leads me to believe that old Al actually told the truth for once in his life!  |
