Barack Obama lost me when I came to know of his relationships with some very bad bedfellows. He is close with the Stroger family of Chicago, a corrupt and despotic group, his relationship with indicted political favors buying Tony Rezko from whom he bought some property and is his next door neighbor. His association with the corrupt regime of Rod Blagojevich, the Governor of Illinois, whose motto is, "not business as usual". Yeah, right.
That, along with his lack of political experience is enough for me not to vote for him.
All I am saying is do your homework before 2008.

Me, I am waiting for Donald Duck or Popeye to enter the race so I can vote for a qualified candidate. Unfortunately, Spiderman and Batman are too busy fighting crime.
'Nuff said.

Santo_Marco,
Colin Powell will never run for president.
A gay Muslim abortion doctor could beat any black person in a Republican primary in most southern states as long as he was agianst gun control.
Don't look for Condi Rice to ever run for the same reason.

Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States. His new book is excellent and his vision for America compelling. He knows what problems we face and has good ways to fix these problems. The "Straight Talk" John McCain of 2000 morphed into a Bush "toady". Additionally, I don't believe the Republican party has been punished enough for the folly of the Iraq War and remember that John McCain wants to increase troop levels in the "cesspool of Iraq"!

Guliani is going to be the best choice because he stepped up to the plate on 9/11 and showed he was willing to get his hands dirty with the common American.
He showed he is a leader.

Not qualified to be president?
Who really is?

I don't know if America would vote Hilary or Obama to the whitehouse.
Dem's need to produce a leader and support him to run against Guliani if they want to win in 08.

The best bet for the republicans is to take notice of Arnold and the way Califorina voted.
Guliani is the best candidate they have.

And I'm a Dem and would probably vote for Guliani.
He seems like a no-none sense kind of guy.

To get the Republican nomination, these guys would have to win enough primaries. Since in most states, only registered Republicans can vote in the Republican primary, and since the most conservative 'religious right' wing of the party turn out in large numbers for the primaries, Giuliani has no chance. His 'pro choice' stand on abortion and pro 'civil union' stand for gay couples will sink him with that group.

ozilot, you said they should wait a least a year before the presidential election before they start campaigning. Well, 1st come the primaries, and those start in late January of 2008, just a little over a year from now!

CBS forgot to mention McCain's main weakness: he's got more flip-flops than a surf shop. He once called Falwell, Inc. evil, now he supports intelligent design and is cozying up to Liberty U. Giuliani is a sleazly NYC Tammany Hall type that will not play south of the Mason Dixie and anywhere near the Mississippi River. Yikes, this is all the GOP has to offer? John "The Pander Bear" McCain, and Rudy "More Liberal than the Democrats" Giuliani??? These are the frontrunners for the "conservative" party? Sad, sad, sad. How happy are Hillary, Obama, and Wesley Clark these days? Moreover, how happy is the center left: no matter which party wins, they get a Democrat!
