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

He will, but the question is will he get the GOP nomination OVER Guiliani...  Either one would be an excellent canidate.

Arnold will be reelected in CA.\nAs for '08 races? Too early to tell. MY pick for Pres is Ex- Senator. Fred Thompson of TN. The well know actor has a good rapor with Republicans & Democrats. Comes from the South, Has DC experience. And his years of acting in tv & film make him a good communicator & deal maker. Perfect guy to win a General election where moderates and independents mater most.........

McCain might be a good choice because he, more than just about anyone else, can reach across party lines and solve problems.  He tends to work well with Democrats while maintaining his own virtues.  He has a strong military background which is important at this time.  He has a great Senate record.

Dennis Kucinich so far. Haven't seen a serious contender list yet though.

John McCain is one of the few Republicans I can actually stomach and I also like John Edwards pretty well. I don't think that Edwards is the best choice, though, so I hope that a better contender can get the Democratic candidacy. However, if Edwards is the candidate, I'll vote for him, since I support the Democratic Party platform.

Do you mean the next president (who will be elected in November 2008)?  Out of the likely candidates, my favorite is Russ Feingold (Senator from Wisconsin).  He is against the Patriot Act, against the Iraq war, co-wrote campaign finance reform, and seems to be the only Senator with the courage and conviction to stand up against Bush.

I, while I think it would be unelectable, would love to see a democratic ticket of Hillary/Obama ticket in 08. I think with Hillary's experience it would be a successful presidency. and also set up an Obama presidency in 2016. Both are viable candidates for president in 08. I think the country would move forward with either one. Instead of backwards like it has the last 6 years. The reason that I would pick Hillary in 08 over Obama is Hillary is a strong and very intelligent woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have an excellent adviser in her husband, the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country in over 40 years.

GOP:  Once again an ignorant, far right wing religious hypocrit like GWB.  Who?  Irrelevant as long as they are ignorant.\n\nDemoratic Partiy:  With Luck Obama.  Probably the best candidate to surface in years.  Also may be Gov Richardson of New Mexico.

A fine Press spokesperson for the President, but to save the USA from a Hillary Clinton Presidency or as bad  John Kerry or Al Gore- we need the strong and winning ticket of John McCain and Rudolph Giuliani. in 2008.

Dems... Hillary, Edwards... maybe Warner...\n\nRepubs... McCain, Guiliani... maybe Frist... (I think even the Republicans have had enough of the Bush family for a while)

Hopefully the Democrats\n\nStewart/Colbert 08!!!

Definitely Hillary!\nMy only concern about her possibly running is that it is true that women are their own worst enemies and, subsequently, will not vote for a woman.  This would keep them from voting for a Dem. and we'd end up in the same boat we're already in!  I don't, personally, think I could stand another four years of this!\nI used to think John McCain was a good guy.  The more I see of him and hear from him these days, the less I like of him.  He has swayed much too far to the "right", as they like to think themselves, and I do believe that ALL republicans are smarmy liars... because they can and do get away with it!

We need a good conservative republican to run, so far Guliani and McCain are too liberal so neither of those two.

Pretty much, yes.  And don't assume a dem will be pres in 08.  The dems are still a mess and will need more than 2 years to produce someone that can beat a McCain.
