Wait, I'll just let someone else say it for me.




edit: This HAS to be an accident. You couldn't have possible meant to post this in OT and not in P&N, could you?

Well, since it is just speculation, that makes it more OT than PN.

As Sudheer Anne cannily pointed out in ATPN, it seems unlikely the Republicans would run a moderate Republican like McCain unless things really go south (no pun intended) in a second Bush term. If things go reasonably well over the next four years, another neoconservative with a conservative social agenda will be all but unbeatable.

Personality > Policy
so, who else is there?
Right now, you have Guliani and McCain and that is it unless the Speaker does something amazing in the next 3 years.

I wish McCain had won the 2000 Republican primary. McCain has skills. Voted for him on Tuesday.

McCain 2008? Think more Jeb 2008. (you think we have problems now...)

McCain is a maniac. Did you miss his speaches in 2000? He's an absolute nut. Not to mention he's not loyal to his party. There's no way the Republicans will nominate him.

[Adn4n]

Not unless the democrats let him run. The Republican party won't allow him to run under their ticket again. He's proven himself to be a volatile, unpredictable man who votes the way he feels instead of with the party. That's unacceptable behavior.

2008 will be Hillary Clinton versus Rudy Guliani. Clinton will win.

 

[Nebor]

Oh, and let's not forget that he wanted to nuke Vietnam at the time of the war. And that he still uses racial slurs to refer to Asians.

I think Guliani would have a shot against Hillary. American isn't ready for a woman president.

There was some woman who ran recently, but she didn't make it very far. I forget her name... I'm not sure whether we're ready for a woman president, but I do know that I don't give a crap what sex the president is as long as they get the job done.

I've reached a point where I really don't care. My life would be the same in 4 years with Bush or Kerry as president. They're so similar. All politicians are. Anyone can do the job, but it's a major business having elections and getting someone elected. Lots of money to be made there.

Oh, freak...I know he had a nice visit in their POW camps for a couple of years....

Clinton may have a chance, but I think she would need some Southern Democrat that leans more to the moderate side. Isn't Guliani's health not in top shape?

That was a mistake reported to the press after an independant lab somehow contaminated his blood sample with supposedly 'fat-free yogurt.'

Hilary is going to have a really hard time in the south. The south is steadily becoming more and more Republican. Over the last 40 years, they've gone from 20 dems and ~9 repubs to 22 rebubs and ~8 dems this year. If Kerry couldn't swing the south (especially deep south and no way in hell will a dem ever get Texas), there's no way someone even MORE liberal, like Clinton, will ever have a chance. On the other hand, I think she'll easily take the coasts and quite possibly many of the northern midwest.

kerry had the terrorist vote with a personal endorsement by bin laden, that was kinda disturbing to me.

As the past 2 elections have shown, you dont need any of the south, or midwest. Just get Ohio or Florida (not really a southern state), and you're in.
