Gulliani will run against hillary. I hope we dont have anymore war mongering oil republicans anymore. Condoleeza says she's not running but might be playing stupid.

i just want someone who has sense. i am so tired of everything being so divided in washington between the republicans and the democrates and the house and the senate. i mean they cant even work on eny thing together the way they need to. they need to fix social security and pass the right laws and stuff. i just want a good president .

If both beat out all the other Democrats they should run on the same ticket, Obama for President and Clinton for VP. I think Obama is a more charaismatic speaker and though he is still new to government it kinda works in his favor for bringing in change to how things have been run by the long-time career politicians. This fresh prespective and charisma would serve him well for establishing actual diplomatic relations with other countries. Clinton is not as charasmatic and is too engrained with the old-time political leaders.\n\nI think americans are alot closer to the idea of having an african-american president than they are to having a female president. With Clinton as VP, Obama has a better chance of surviving his term(s) in office without being assassinated since anyone wanting shot at him has to ask "Do I really want Hilary Clinton as President?"\n\nUnfortunately the Democratic party has been falling apart since they won the elections to win back the congress. If they don't regroup with a united message (like they were doing pre-election) and get some real things done to change things around the Republicans are going to regain their footing and steal back voters. It would be nice if they got their act back together before for the elections in '08, if they don't Obama & Clinton won't have an easy time of it.

John Edwards is a great choice. Hillary will not run. Edwards could play the outsider wanting to make change. He also has no bad House or Senate record to use against him. I wonder if Democrats are that smart?

I would suggest to you Mr. Alex B PHD that because my Masters degree has forced me to provide you with some of the answers to these mind boggling questions that haunt you from time to time i am once again obligated to place these words of wisdom upon you. Either one could run and be elected, and yet with only those two choices i think we might see a revolt within the Democratic party, Yes i do realize that you did not specify which political party they were connected to but, your question demands that they be Democrats. My best possible thinking has went into this answer and i believe the combination of the two would make an excellent choice for President and Vice president for the Democratic party!!!

i'm voting for Stewart/Colbert in '08!!\n\nafter the mockery of the last few elections, i just might write that in. and as far as who's going to be the next president, there really arent any good candidates yet on either side.

I'd say it is time for a complete political party overhaul.  In reality, neither party is really concerned about those they supposedly represent.  Unless you are talking about those who are in their pockets of course.  Both of the two major parties platform is not what they can do, it is based on what the other side didn't or couldn't do.  Empty promises from all sides.

I think Hillary would be good but i also think that john McCain would be a good president. It's gonna be hard for me to vote if those 2 are running against eachother.

Even if they lose they will still be in Washington. They will just be in the minority. Truthfully both parties will move out of Washington. It is never to early for politicians to start campaigning for 2008. They don't really work any more they just run for office take vacations and vote to give themselves a raise. And that is bipartisan.

That's part of the problem for both sides. To try and convey a platform, they have both become too extremist. Most Americans are NOT extremists... but more moderate. I would love for there to be a third party with legitimate candidates and real strength. I think we would have a better government.

I personally am a Republican. Bush had (I my opinion) a good idea of sending troops into Iraq because if we didnt get in there and restore at least a little bit of order they could plot even a more disastorist event than 9/11. Although he also has his faults to. If we could elect two presidents at the same time we would be democrat/republican country. Each time having two president from two different parties. Sort of like what the Romans did and they were pretty successful. But I am just a twelve year boy explaining my opinion.

Do you mean who would I want to win, or who will win the Republican nomination for President in 2008?\n\nI would prefer McCain. Despite his recent pandering to the right, McCain has shown a history of voting with his conscience and really trying to find the right result, not the one most likely to get him re-elected (the last few years changed his image in my mind a bit, but he's still a front-runner in the Republican party for me). And I don't think I could handle another Bush in the White House. Jeb's handling of the Schiavo case was painful to watch.\n\nAs for you will win it? I'd still go with McCain. He's picked up a lot of GW Bush's campaign team and monetary support. He's a front-runner at this time.\n\nBut there's a long time to get there, a lot of other candidates out there (i.e., Giuliani, Romney, Pataki, etc.), and a whole slew of Democrats who want to get to the White House in 2008, too.

If the right person was running as a 3rd party candidate for any of the offices, I'd vote for them.  \n\nIt would have to be a viable 3rd party candidate unlike the ones we've had in the past, like Nader and Perot.\n\nIf the person supported my views, I'd vote for 'em.

In Nov. of 2008 it will not be George Bush-he cannot run again. It will not be Mr Clinton-he also cannot run again. It will not be John Edwards not enough people would vote for him. Maybe Hillary (God forbid), maybe John McCain. But I think we don't really know yet, someone will rise up as a natural between now and then. I also don't think it will be a democrat, now that they are in charge of both houses and are attacking Bush from every side, the terrorists no doubt see us as being weak.....they will strike us again.

My vote is for Independents......Both the Democrats and Republicans can kiss me where the sun doesn't shine.

I agree with it whole heartedly.\n\nAl Gore is strong, perhaps strong enough to win his party's nomination for President, but he doesn't have the strength, the inclination nor the support of the American voters.\n\nObama is a huge threat to Clinton- but both would make excellent progressive Presidents. Obama, if he waits, will have to defend himself to the American public over claims that he misled the voters by signalling his intentions to represent them as a Senator and not the President.\n\nThe Republican party will have a really tough time with the '08 elections, and God willing they won't be returned to office. You only need look at the good fmr President Clinton and VP Al Gore did to see how great America could be. Only no one remembers the good because of the scandals and the Right wing Republicans determined to undermine him at any opportunity.\n\nIf the Republicans want to win the 08 elections they need to start grooming strong candidates now!\n\nHillary, in conclusion- will win the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. And will be incredibly tough to beat.\n\nHer husband is a very clever politician and still mega popular. Just look at the rallies they did for Hillary recently.\n\nShe's be the first female President in US history, popular with Mums, women, family groups, minoritys etc... \n\nAnd thats what the world needs- a woman!\n\nThe Iceman.
