I think the assumption is Christie and Clinton at this point.
I live in Quebec, Canada, and last year, one of my teacher wanted us to make a bunch of predictions for the next 20 years.
And I called that Christie would be the next USA President.
Is he your favorite contender, tho?
And what do you think about Collin Powell?
I like Powell better, like, as in, he is more in line with my ideas.
nominees, especially for the GOP, are often given to the person who "earned" it in the previous election cycle. None of the other candidates seemed to fit that, but Christie sort of did, and he is probably more liked than someone like Romney.
I have no idea if he would win, but it is a solid guess. way more likely than Powell, who has spent the time since his Bush years distancing himself from Republican warmongering.

If Obama is re-elected, who do you think (and who would you like) both parties will throw as potential contender for the job at the end of the 4 years term?
Hard to say, really depends where we are in 4 years.
Having said that and to add to the "what's next" if Obama wins, we need to get a Dem Congress and Obama needs to act on that this time. Having a Pres on one side and Congress on the other doesn't work, it turns into a game that ends up ****ing over the country.
In my opinion, It wont matter. The policies under both dems and repubs are essentially the same and they and the lobbyist tend to pick candidates who will maintain the status quo. Pro war. Pro bailout. Pro sacrificing liberties for safety. Pro federal reserve. All the bullshit that doesn't help the middle class one bit. The military industrial complex also has its grasp on them.
If you want to see real change we would combine the two party paradigm into one so we can get a real second and even third party in the mix and hopefully kick these ***** out. We arent going to see change with this facade.
