I want to hear what you think of the potential candidates, and why--even if they have not even mentioned running. Who would make a good president?

anyone other than Bush, wait i mean cheyney, who is REALLY running our country. maybe HIlary clinton. she seems responsible enough and won't go off bombing other countries, but still be agressive.

He is a bad actor, a worse Governor, what kind of president do you think he would make. It is not a pretty picture we had one bad actor as president and he is probably the second worse president in my memory.

Yes, I am definitely interested in seeing him run!!  That way another Republican is sure to be elected!!

It does not scare me that a Democrat could become President, and I am a conservative Republican. What scares me is one of the ones constantly mentioned as a possible Democratic candidate (Hillary, Kerry, etc) could become President. I vote in terms of best person for the job. I do not inherently vote party lines. But these ones constantly being mentioned, especially Hillary Clinton, are uber-liberal whack jobs. It would indeed harm the country.

I am a Democrat. And I am hoping that Rudy Giuliani, the GOP ex-mayor of NYC, will run for President. I think Colin Powell is the greatest American living today. I think Reagan did a great job of restoring the USA to respect and dignity after Watergate and Iran. I think John McCain is one of the smartest men I've ever heard speak. \n\nYou will notice, though, that none of these people were part of the soon-to-be-ex leadership in Washington.

Obama is still too inexperienced.  He's popular, but is still a newcomer.  On the other hand, he wouldn't face a lot of the opposition that hillary would face.  Maybe clinton with obama as a running mate?  That would be interesting.

I'd gladly vote for Hillary, or perhaps even Barack Obama, who is also considering running for the Democrats. I've always been frustrated with the fact that as huge and diverse a country this is, it's primarily been a choice between two, middle-aged or higher, Christian, white men for President. It's time to bring some diversity to the Presidential race.

I do not want Rummy running for office.  He is too much of a hardass.  We need a known and strong conservative like Newt, George Allen, Rick Santorum, etc.  We need someone who is worth following.

Yeah, he's great, I would love for him to be president, but unfortunately it seems to me you need to be a Christian to become president in this screwed up country. I hope not, I hope Feingold could be pres.\nJeff Bingham from NM voted against the war, I think he may be running.\n\nAs far as Democrats 'not having their own ideas', I've heard that so much and that is so laughable. Someone like Bill O'Reilly probably said that and now all the Republicans are parroting it (that's ironic - you guys can't think for yourself)! It's rediculous! You can't be a political party without a platform (ideas)! Try healthcare for all - that's not an idea? Of course it's going to seem that way if there's a republican-controlled government. WTF?

Romney would be a good choice- not my first, but he is a good man.  As for his religion.... people said that JFK would never get elected either.

I would like to see Guiliani on the ticket. Biden is a decent choice. Whoever can undo the damage Bush and his idiotic cronies have caused ;but that is a tough challenge for anybody. Hilary has a shot,but too many Americans don't feel the time is right for a gender change. We'll probably have to hold our nose and push the button. I'm kind of jaded by the whole thing.

I think Rudy Guilliani should be our next President.  He`s  a moderate respected leader who is very electible.  Unlike Hillary or Kerry, Rudy would have the ability to be attractive to democrat as well as republican voters.  Hillary is too polorizing and Kerry`s a joke.  The democrats should forget Hillary and run Obama.  A choice between Guilliani and Obama has the potential to be an election between two very exciting and worthy opponents!

McCain, Clinton, and many others. your question is too early. Many candidates will announce their candidacy over the next several months.

a vp\n\nhe would be a good president in 2012 or 2016. He is still young now, and being  a VP would be a good step in a serious presidental campaign

Hillary would make a fine president she is a intelligent, Strong lady, that has the experience and would have one of the best advisers in the world. Her husband was the last president to run the business of the country right. I would vote for her regardless of her sexual orientation.

but iamgirl, what if the female president was so craptacular that we never got a good one elected because more people became biased against the ability of a woman to hold that position? i'd rather wait for a good one, but if it were two candidates who were about equal, i would vote for the woman instead. unless both candidates were absolutely awful, then i would want to man so women didnt get more misrepresnted.

Why not wait until the answer to "Who is running?" is obvious before choosing? If there is someone you know you want, you can encourage them. Sen. Obama said no at first, but many people encouraged him. Otherwise, wait for the primaries.
