Although his name as been mention as a candidate for President in 2008, I don’t think he would be nominated since he does not have a high approval rating in Illinois at the moment.

I sure hope not however it would get him out of Illinois.

Won't take long at all.  In fact prior to 9-11 not many Repubs liked him anyway.  Not many New Yorkers liked him before 9-11.

Ideally yes, but he has to deal with Congress who are up for election (2 yrs-House, 6 yrs-Senate).  Not to mention he has the option to run for reelection.  The people will be royally pissed if he starts acting in a way contrary to what he said during the race.

he didn't get any democratic votes 'cause he chose to run as a 'pub.  the 'pubs seem to love that sack of crap heineman that they've got in office now.\n\ntom could run a football team, but could he run the state?  can they afford to gamble on it?  i mean it's not like losing the national championship, you know...

It is possiable.  There shouldn't be a problem if he is, though.  He will come out sooner or later.

Gives a great speech, but too early to tell on the issues!!!!  He may be very successful one day!!!!!! Although I will probably not vote for him, but hey, stranger things have happened!!!!!!

He is nothing right now. hes barely been a politician. Some folks want him just because they think hes "black".

He was an easy target I guess. The democratic party didn't really have one at the time (running for president).

He might be trying to get ready to fun for President in '08.

I agree he should be the next candidate for President, and I am positive that he will win the election.  He is a very well like man and very good person.

Though I have absolutely nothing upon which to base this, I always kind of figured he may well go into politics down the road. And yes, I suspect now that I may well have ended up voting for him. Unless, of course, in reality his platform, personality, or reputation wound up being something I didn't care for.

Im from NC and this is the first that i've heard this. I dont get to hear the news alot but as long as he has good views and will actually accomplish something good; than i see no problem with him running.\n\nPS dont forget to VOTE Tuesday=)

This site does make for some interesting reading, he has some good stands even on the things that I would disagree with him on.  The most important thing that a campaign of this type could do for this country is actually educate the voters on Special Interest and the money it spends to gain for their interest which is not always ours.  Every few years you need someone to come along and shake things up a bit.  He could do it, he is a well known face and name and that is half the battle in politics.

Yes , he will serve the rest of his term. He has let down the Conservative voters who put him in office.  I am very nervous about the next election though I can not see a clear candidate to represent all of America. This nation is so split at this point. I am afraid there is no middle ground anymore. I usually vote republican but with the way things are going I'm not sure what to vote anymore. I like Evan Bhye as a Democratic nominee and would vote for him but i cant see a Conservative democrat getting the nomination.

No, it's rare that a Senator has become President.  Then you have to factor in the last time he ran he got busted for plagerism.  Then you have this Abramoff Scandle bloomings in which I think I saw he received money from him.

Why is that hard to believe?  He is a senior member of the majority party.  I would imagine he has had his pick of committees for some time now.\n\nThis is how things work.  I'm surprised they didn't change the rules so he could stay in his leadership position during the trial.
