2008 USA Presidential Politics

Demcratic Party

Hillary has announced on her website that she is running, apparently. Barack Obama is running. Does anyone else matter at this point? John Edwards? The gov of Iowa?

Republican Party

McCain, Giulani, Brownbeck - two moderates and a social conservative. Who else will be in the pack?

I am tentatively thinking some Edwards-Richardson combo for the Dems ... I do think that both Hillary and Barack will suffer for being "frontrunners" so early on ...

But don't be surprised to see Howard Dean jump back in.

Also, Senator Chris Dodd has been giving us local folks a good look at him and his intentions -- and he looks as though he will be a very strong campaigner. Is able, so far, to articulate his outrage without resorting to Kennedy-esque bellowing. Speaking from firsthand experience, Dodd is an EXCELLENT retail campaigner -- very good personal skills, and the most beautiful green eyes ... sigh ... But I feel bad for his poor young daughter; she is going to be dragged around like a prop to counter Dodd's reputation from his younger years. If I, personally, were asked to work on a campaign right now, I would go with Dodd over Obama.

A Dodd-Richardson ticket would be a hoot on the campaign trail, and would bring a lot of smarts to the White House ... Same thing, Dean-Richardson.

If Hilary gets the nomination, she will be our next president.

That is my call.

Depends on the Republican ticket, and how brutal a process that Rep ticket had to go through to get there.

I hope she is the nominee. As of this moment, she is unelectable. Too many people either a) hate her or b) despise her.

You have to love Brownback's positioning. Against the war and socially conservative, but with none of the mean spirted baggage that the press usually applies to a social conservative. Look for him as a VP candidate.

Either you are soft-selling Brownback's creds, or THE LIBERAL MEDIA is overselling his rabidness.
If the Rep Party wants to get my interest, they will look to Chuck Hagel and Mike Huckabee. That would be an interesting combo.

The former Governer of Iowa doesn't even have support in his own state...too bad. A very nice, intelligent guy...just doesn't have the experience it takes I think.

The Republican party reminds me of Nigeria.....splintered! They'll really need to come together over the next year to be viable. I've heard that Giuliani has been talking to Ehrlich....of course he didn't win in MD, but he's a pretty rare (common) sense guy! Will people be voting for Hillary or Bill?
