I like him a lot, but think I would rather see him as VP candidate on a ticket this time after only one term in the Senate.

Actually, is anyone officially running yet? Even if announced, has anyone signed anything at this point?
I read in the paper last week there are 6 democrats and 5 republicans right now are thinking about running for office.

I like to see Obama take a shot at it but He needs to hold off and gain some experience in his current position as senator. hopefully by 2012, he'll get his chance. Right now, There's not a whole lot of choices as to who could be our next President.

I wish he'd come back to IL and be governor for a bit. (FIX THINGS OBAMA!) But I can see difficulty getting elected nationally after being governor in Illinois. We're a corrupt state that's ears deep in debt. He shouldn't associate himself with that.

He needs to be senator longer and continue to be a national name, travel the south, north, west, etc.

Theres a lot of people crowding the scene right now, but I think it comes down to...

GOP- President- McCain, Rudy, Romney, Tancredo (some support, not contention)
VP- Jeb, Sanford, Huckabee, who knows
My Pick: Romney/Jeb, but I'd prefer somebody else at VP

Dems- President- Clinton, Bayh, maybe Obama
VP- No telling.
I think the only democrat who could win the general is Evan Bayh, but he'd be a good VP pickup for Hillary.

Romney v. Clinton is really the ultimate in "douche vs. turd sandwich" decisions . . . puke

LOL!! That was a great episode I felt the past two elections were classic "douche vs. turd sandwich."

Are you asking for a consensus of opinion? I think that's what it's called, even at Pitt State. If that is so, read the thread! You will be enlighted by Greeks from Near and Far! DA!

That would be scary.

We live in his district. He's done a couple of "town hall" type meetings at our clubhouse. He shoots off his mouth just for the publicity.

This guy is an empty suit.

(ETA, I actually voted for the guy, though, because his opposition was so bad I don't even remember who it was.)
