Hypothetical Presidential Elections 2008

I would just crumple under the political pressure of such a loaded race. The first black/female candidate...running as a republican...! It would totally flip the demographic on it's ****ing ear! Blacks and whites/demoracts and republicans would be totally confused. If the future of the country weren't at stake, I'd love to see such a race.

But, Rice is kind of a no one candidate. So was Bush, and she has been a very public figure, but I just don't see the republicans putting her face on their party.

But the new demographic she could bring to the Republican party alone may be all they need. With their lower public support, they just might put her up front.

Though I'd much rather see McCain.

Vote Libretarian: They embody the good aspects of both parties.

Hilary Clinton...el oh el

I Nominate myself the new leader of the Decepticons, (maybe not, Starscream got his screechy buttocks killed after saying something to that effect.)

Hmmm. I would vote democrat if I was American, because I like voting, and the democrats are the best of a bad bunch (in my eyes anyway.) That, and I don't know much about McCain, other then McCain is also the name of one of Australia's biggest frozen food companies, but I suspect there is no connection between the two...

I have to wonder though about the likelihood of Republican reelection, from Australian media sources one has heard the term "lame duck"regarding Bush's current term in office, and apparently the Republicans popularity has dropped way down with the various dramas that have cropped up, such as New Orleans, the continuing war, Bush's credibility and so forth. In fact in the early days following Bush's reelection the names put up of the people who might following him included Rice, but then she doesn't seem that popular (from the outside looking in at least.)

figured id bump this thread since the 'hypothetical' part is quickly turning to reality.

vote damn you.

oh btw my vote is now solid on clinton, since holy joe drank the wingnut koolaid

oh yeah:

Between those two... I'd have to go for the wingnut, a few shakes of the terrorist-rattle and people will simply just not vote for a woman.

Only Roosevelt. He was President for four terms. After that, the constitution was changed so that a president could only serve two terms. The two term precedent was established by Washington, but only made law after Roosevelt.

Obama. 😉

Why would someone vote the satan herself?

McCain is almost as blinkered as Bush, and Hilary is a crack-whore...decisions, decisions...

I'd probably vote for the crack-head because that would be fun to watch.

In a lovely world, it would be the guy who has done a line or two of coke. People who do that are cool. Plus, he smoked AND inhaled the reefer.

Side-note: Hilary would never run as a VP.
