Your probably right, although its sad that alot of americans will vote this way out of spite. I wish all High Schools had a "Current Events" class so they would be somewhat educated to cast a vote when they turn 18. It is my opinion that a few to many young adults vote based on what they see on MTV.

So this is how Bush got elected?

Funny how Cosmo's selection would resonate more persuasively with the American public this time around.
I for one would seriously consider jumping the Hillar(ious) ship were such a ticket to materialize.

Your general observation appears palatable enough to merit an added call.

No, young Bush supporters were already working and they couldnt take time away from the family business or their own enterprises to attend spring break

The new generation of voters are sadly apathetic.

Back to reality....have you really been paying close attention to the posturing trends in recent fundraisers and related events? I couldn't care less for who gets the nomination on the right side of the aisle; however, in your shoes I'd follow the money to see who'll go the distance.

My personal opinion is the guy that is not running, and that is Evan Bayh. Ex-Gov of Ind, and current senator. Very moderate democrat. Plus, he agrees with me about this war. We should have went after osama instead going to iraq. His policies lean toward the liberal on domestic (with taxes staying somewhat conservative) that I don't have enough disagreement with to argue. My point here is we are at a crossroads, and we don't have the very best people running for president. Maybe we should make congress vote in another amendment to where we "The People" can vote in a president,(ie. Clinton-not Hillary). I just think we have leaders out there that don't want to put up with media bias BS

Democrats have this nasty habit of giving Republicans all the information they need during their primaries. Whoever survives and gets the nomination will be loaded with so much baggage, that they will be hard pressed to get over 50%. This is especially true for Hillary. She will never break 50. Edwards might be able to, if he stays below the radar during the primary season. My guess is he is too liberal for most Americans. Obama won't go the distance, and will settle for VP. So, who will it be? I have no idea, but he or she hasn't even broken a sweat, yet.

Actually I kind of agree with this.....not the primaries per se of course, but staying out of the early fray can be useful....

Yes, a good one would have to. Gore was not a good presidential candidate the last time he ran, and will not be this time, if he runs - and he should not run.

If Hilary wins the nomination, she will be the next president. She may well be too conservative for the liberal wing of the party, but she is electable. Republican strategists who say she is not are hoping to help defeat her in the primaries, because she is the candidate they most fear.

OTOH, if Bush keeps up his stuff and if Cheney is allowed to keep talking like he did in the Wolf Blitzer interview, my pet monkey Ralph could be the next president, as long as he is a Democrat.
