Who's Who 2008 Republican Hopefuls McCain and Giuliani head up the Republican pack chasing the presidency.
Views of Giuliani are especially positive among both moderates and the conservatives that he and McCain are courting.
Voters planning to take part in a Republican primary next year think both McCain and Giuliani share their values, but would currently prefer Giuliani over McCain if the nomination fight came down to just the two of them.

See all 40 Commentsthe south has no idea what a good president is.
rednecks, white trash, phony christian creeps...
nothing good comes out of the south!
But this really is an exercise in futility. The GOP is dead in the water for 2008.
you write sooo much c*r*a*p*o*l*a. You can not put your self in the shoes of a poor man. Nor can you see the soon to be poor man squeezed by his poor decisions of his adjustable rate mortgage and the terrible housing market. Nor can you see the plight of those being squeezed by the predatory banker who, at will, bait the average consumer with low rates only to send them some hidden piece of, what looks like junk mail "opt out" statement which the consumer probably does not see and probably does not understand. Furthermore, few consumers know enough about having to write letters to merchants to dispute a charge (in triplicate) BEFORE contacting the credit card company.
So what do these candidates offer to the average Joe? Absolutely nothing. It was Paul Volcker who tried to put some safeguards into place and without his leadership the country would truly be a gangster driven banker's paradise. However, as it stands, these candidates are just stooges of the most evil empire on the face of the Earth. There is no Luke Skywalker in sight.
and fascistusa - who is this guy!? Go to Venezuela, you and Hugo can have your "revolution" there!!! But thanks for the laugh, you and other loons in the world like Chavez and Ahmadinejad, Chirac - at least you make me laugh!

would never win the general election. McCain is by far the best Republican candidate but he's not well enough for two national campaigns in the next two years. That leaves Gingrich.

If Mitt were available, YES. But Mitt Romney is the one most likely to remain faithful to his one and ONLY wife. The other top three republican contenders might be interested in a 3rd or 4th wife....
A Democrat will be elected president in 2008. And then you Republicans will get too greedy again and the pendulum will start its swing back to the right.
And so it goes...
It's time to stop worrying about the Vote. who cares?
Our GOVERNMENT does not represent us. We have no say in our Government. It's that simple. Voting is a joke.
It's time for Fight Club. It's time for V for Vendetta. It's time for another Civil War. It's time for REVOLUTION.
