| Presidential Candidates 2008 Discussion, Part Two: There's just so much to say! Anyone have some more news? Do you think anyone is emerging as a "favourite" yet, or is it far too early still? Some news: Giuliani confirmed today: he will be running in 2008 __________________ (i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) e. e. cummings - somewhere i have never traveled | |||

| I'm not surprised to hear about Giuliani. But thanks for the article! I'll try and read it later. Personally, I really like Obama, and ceilirose posted some informative links about Bill Richardson on the last thread that got me thinking about him as well. __________________ LJ | News & Politics | Battlestar Galactica | TS2 | PS  Watch Battlestar Galactica every Friday at 10pm!

| I will probably vote for Obama even if he doesn't end up on the Democratic ticket. Okay, I say that, but I really do think he's the best candidate. I'd also consider giving my vote to Clinton, Richardson, and Edwards. It should be a fairly easy election choice in my house.  __________________ "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." - Sirius Black, GoF | |||

| Yes, wrong! But if it were the RNC I'd say not wrong.  __________________ LJ | News & Politics | Battlestar Galactica | TS2 | PS Watch Battlestar Galactica every Friday at 10pm! [/B] | |||

| I don't like Guilani at ALL. He is my least republican canidate. I think he got a second chance and he should retire at this point. I am probably the only one - but I still remember what a shady man he was and how everyone in NYC atleast HATED him before 9/11. __________________ REVENGE isn't just for breakfast anymore.

| Elite Fan | The thing about Guiliani is that I don't see he's qualified... I like him. Heck, if a Republican is going to be elected, at this point, Giuliani would be my favourite, he's pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and he's divorced. So you know he's open-minded. But, I mean, yes, he was very comforting after 9/11... but he's never been in charge of anything larger than a city. Yes, a big city... can you really go from mayor to president? What do I know, but I still don't see it. __________________ Sunny "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." avie by Jessie | |||

| I agree with you Sunny. I do not think he's that qualified either. It's a major step going from mayor to president. But at least he's some kind of Executive experience. Ruby_Slippers, I can remember as well. Yes, he brought NYC together after those tragic events but that does not a president make. __________________ LJ | News & Politics | Battlestar Galactica | TS2 | PS Watch Battlestar Galactica every Friday at 10pm!

| If 9/11 had never happened then I don't think Guiliani would have ever been considered for the position. I have a good friend in NYC and he wasn't very popular nor was he thought of as a good mayor prior to 9/11. He'll have a hard time getting the Christian Right vote - he's pro choice, pro gun control, supports gay rights and has had two very public affairs while married. Stranger things have happened but I don't see how he'll get the nomination. __________________ The Committee To Re-elect President Obama: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul | |||

| Only looking at current candidates (offically declared) who does everyone think will get the nomination for each party? __________________ LJ | News & Politics | Battlestar Galactica | TS2 | PS Watch Battlestar Galactica every Friday at 10pm! [/B] | |||

| Right now, I think McCain would get the Republican nomination and it's so tight with Obama and Clinton right now, I'm not sure which would get the nomination, but I think it would be between the two of them. | |||

| I saw this at Kos today and it blew my mind. Brings too mind a certain two word phrase used to slam John Kerry again and again and again... McCain, in 1999: Quote:
