I thought we used to have a politics section, but I guess we don't. Who do you think is going to win the next Presidential election? It's still pretty early, but speculation is always fun. I think that Clinton is probably going to be the Democratic nominee, and think thay Guliani is going to be the GOP nominee. Personally, I am pulling for Ron Paul.
this election will be pivotal in our history, the next president will be appointing at least two and maybe three supreme court justices, that will shape the country for the rest of my lifetime, i beleive we should all carefully consider ours and our childrens future when we choose, dt

Nationally she is leading by a pretty wide margine but Iowa has a way of changing things.
If Obama wins in Iowa where Hillary has really worked hard, it changes the dynamic of the race on the Democrat side.
For the Repbublicans, Iowa is a little different. Rudy has stayed away from Iowa so there is no real gage on the impact Iowa will have on him. At this point Romney is the front runner there but Huckabee is closing in on him. If Huckabee wins Iowa, I think Romney is sunk and this becomes a Rudy/Huckabee race. If Romney wins then it is Rudy/Romney.
One of these 5 will be the next president.
For the Dems Hillary has the highest negatives of anyone who has ever run for President. That is a very steep hill.
For Obama, he is very inexperienced and has been mistake prone, and African American. These are the two biggest things working against him.
For Mitt, he has been both for and against conservitiave positions, is a morman, and is a republican in a time where there is strong sentiment aginst the republcian party.
Rudy is seen by the conservitives and the Christian Right as being something other than what they (me) are. Besides being a Republcian, Rudy runs the risk of causing the Republican wing of the Republican party to stay home and not vote.
Huckabee will be painted as TOO Christian. He has also been soft on emmigration, and not quite as conservitive as some have thought. While he is too "Republican" to win the moderates in a time when many independant voters are turned off to Republcians; he is also not quite conservitive to jazz the base. he also has the lowest "Celebrity" appeal of any of the major candidates and I think may stand the least chance of winning (and this is the guy I am voting for).
I think the winner will be the one that the people think is the "lest bad" instead of the best option.

I think the winner will be that. It is sad that we have mainly a 2 party election. Technically, we have had larger elections, but the third parties haven't stood a chance of winning. I guess I am going to be "throwing" my vote away with Paul, but he is the only candidate that I do not have to hold my nose to vote for.
Huckabee's a lousy conservative republican, I don't care what he says. My friend from AR has nothing good to say - terrified that he's gaining popularity among the religious right. Taxes will go up if Huck is elected.

Nothing's wrong with being a conservative republican . . . I mean Huckabee is a lousy one, if he really is one. He's really not one though. He's raised taxes and from what I've read online and heard from a friend, he's not a true conservative republican.
