Bill Frist for President and have Rudolph Giuliani as Vice-President. That combination would win in a landslide.

Just my $.013264 worth

If Giuliani ran, I would definitely vote for him...this is coming from a social issues standpoint. A lot can change in 4 years and his social issues stance could change but, as of now, I like him.

Jeb Bush has said repeatedly that he is not interested in running for President. then again, he does have Bush blood, so he may change his mind. I think that Jeb is a great guy. I like him better than his brother.

i can tell by his interviews lately that Rudy has definitely been thinking about 2008....i think that would be cool...

I read that Jeb Bush said that he wouldn't run for president in 2008 (something about being the gov. for Florida enough for him).

As someone from AZ I adore John McCain. I was so sad to see him drop out of the election four years ago. I truly hope that he attempts to run again, but as someone mentioned I think his age is what might be against him. But I think he would have an awesome chance.

I definatley think Guilani (sorry I didn't spell that name right) would be an awesome president too.

He's more liberal on social issues than Kerry was.

When separated from his evil wife he moved in with his good friend Koeppel and his gay partner. NY'ers will know Koeppel as the guy who owns so many car dealerships in the city and Queens. I don't know if that had anything to do with anything but I thought you might find it interesting.

If Arnold were to get a loophole established so he could run, how many of y'all would be reminded of Demolition Man?

Personally, when someone mentions Arnold for President, it's the first thing that comes to mind.

"The Presidentator" just doesn't sound as good as "Der Governator!" :D

I like Giuliani a lot, same with with my state's Governor, Mitt Romney. A Giuliani/Romney ticket would be great, but we'll see.

I could see McCain giving it another go...Jeb Bush though has said repeatedly he wouldn't run, and I don't see anything changing that.

McCain could win over many Democrats. I think him running would be the easiest win if he runs in 2008.

ASUADPi 11-03-2004 11:19 PM

I have to say I find it pretty funny, yet cool, how many people seem to like McCain.

Sometimes it's just hard for me to realize that he is well known.

But then he is my US senator. I've met the man.

But I know absolutely nothing about my other senator or any other senators. That is why I find it really intersesting how many people like McCain.

(maybe I'm just being "selfish" because he is my senator :) )

Republicans that I would seriously consider giving my vote:

McCain
Frist
Giuliani

Some Democrats have thought about wanting to lift the native citizen requirements to get Jennifer Granholm, governor of Michigan in there.. perhaps as a Vice President to start. She was born in Canada. She's very dynamic and appeals to a lot of Republicans as well because she's pretty moderate.

Besides, ya can't go wrong with the son of a former CINCPAC. (Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet; his late father was CINCPAC when he was shot down over North Vietnam; a Navy destroyer, the USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) is named after both his father and grandfather, both of whom were admirals.

I'm hoping Frist, but who knows, that's a long time from now.

So, you are hoping for a Presidential candidate that would piss somebody off? very good way to choose your leader there.

I see JEB going at it in 20012 or 2016. I like Rudy G in 2008.

I'm hoping Jim DeMint of North Carolina or Coburn of Oklahoma. Maybe even DeLay of Texas. Seriously... This country needs to complete the cycle to the far right, and I think that once this happens, the country will make its final decent into polarization. I feel that by 2008, Roe v. Wade will be overturned, there probably will be a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages, and Social Security will have been privatized, so why not get a man who will move the country so far right that there will be no turning back. All they need to campaign on is "God, Guns and Gays", and they will win! Maybe a national law banning homosexuals and unwed mothers from teaching in public schools, school vouchers since it would be too obvious to overturn Brown v. Board of Education (but they could try), laws to get rid of "illegals" (but only the "bad" ones from Mexico or Cuba or Puerto Rico, not the good ones from the European countries), maybe even prayer in schools again. I honestly look forward to the possibilities!!!:)
