What do you think of Sen. Gravel's presidential bid?

Based only on that one idea, I think that Foghorn Leghorn would make a much more qualified senator.  Or anything.  What is this guy, a Student Council senator?

Though I would love to see Hillary become president, I think you're right.  There are too many people right now that are not ready for a woman in office.  I think the only chance she could have to win the presidency would be if she chose Bill as her vice president.  I think that as vice president she could show her ability to govern this country and then perhaps in the future America would better accept her as commander in chief.  I personally like Wesley Clark, and think he and Hillary could achieve great things together.

I would consider my self a leftie and I think it would be a horrible choice if she ran for a number of reasons.\n\n1. We already know who will vote for her(the same people who voted for Kerry) and we know that Kerry lost.\n\n2. She won't gain any support from the Republicans.\n\n3. We need someone who can who pleases BOTH sides of the party, not just the one will vote for them.\n\n5. We need someone from the south, who will appeal to them, not another "yankee".\n\nTheoretical would she be a good president? Meh perhaps. Would she win? I highly doubt it.\n\nTo bostoncowboy62, she was born in Chicago, not Arkansas.\nNext time check your facts and my name is spelled without an I. ;)

I think he is sincere and worried about the planet.  I didnt hear him complain about wanting to run for office but wanting to clean up the planet.  Ever wonder why the election was stolen?  Cause big business dont want him cleaning up their killer crap.  Duh, think about it.  Funky politics, Bush oil family, and the list goes on and on.  Now DC is getting flooded like in the days of Noah.\nAl Gore seems to be a nice man who really deserves the job of president.  GWB is going to continue to mine coals, killing people, driving cars and profiting and warmongering for oil.  Due to greed and lobbyist, he sold his soul to the devil and if you think I'm wrong, let me know.  But quite frankly I'm a little pissed OFF DUPONT IS ALLOWED TO DUMP teflon in the water and KILL MY CHILD< WILL THEY LET YOURS LIVE?\nWatch the STAND.  And wag the dog.\nWhen you bless the poor and helpless you also will be blessed.\nGreed an pride are causing the USA to go belly up but all will suffer int eh USA for the destruction of the planet.  Ask the Indians, they'll tell you.

I think that Obama is very smart, atractive and has caused enough of a stir to make him a viable candidate. He might have a tough time getting the nomination against Hillary Clinton due to her money raising ability.  I also like Joe Biden the senior senator from Deleware. He has a vast experience in foreign relations which is something we need at this time.

You're going to do it?  Good luck!  The last 12 President's haven't been able to do it; maybe it's time for a new type of President.  Someone who's not a career politician.

Doubt it seriously. While not a big fan of ole "I got a pie chart!" Ross, I do admire Ralph Nader and believe he is genuine in his concern for the country. Not that Perot isn't concerned, he just came off to me as being a little loopy.\n\nI think the reality is that the big 2 don't want a viable third party in the running. Neither side seems to have workable answers to many of the large scale issues we are facing and will face in the future. Personally, my thought is this. What would it hurt to try a new approach? When you keep doing what you have always done, expect to get what you always got.\n\n\nEdited: Too dang many viables.

I so want Gore to run. He should run. He'll make a great president and no mistake. It's us Liberals turn to rub the NeoCons' noses in the dirt for a change. We can watch as Gore calmly reclaims the country that Clinton left in Bush's dirty hands. He will restore order, and restore the proper taxation that the fat cats should be paying.\n\nI'm so convinced of this that I plan on writing to Al Gore personally and ask him to do this for us. We need a strong leader and it's time for the Dems to meet that challenge.\n\nHere we are using the very medium that Gore worked so hard to bring about. Why wouldn't you vote for him. Without his legislation and tireless lobbying it's possible that the Internet would be confined to academia, government and the military only.\n\nWhat a guy!

Ooh, lordy, I really, really hope the GOP selects him as their candidate. Please work real hard and make that happen. You will be making us Democrats very happy.

I like Senator Boxer, and could support her fairly easily if Democrats nominated her. But she wouldn't be my first choice.\nRuss Feingold is still the most courageous member of the US Senate. But full props to Boxer for backing him on the censure resolution. Wish more Dems would stand up and tell Bush it's time to leave.

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.

He seems to be a decent, intelligent, honest, God fearing human being. We had many bad white presidents. Give him a chance.

I'd vote for him 6 times as long as a Clinton wasn't on the same ticket.  If he can come off half as intelligent, forward thinking, progressive, and compassionate as he has in his recent interviews, I think we have a dead-pan winner for best president since James Madison.

Good guy with a spine (here that Libs?.......  He has a spine).  Something you may want to think about before choosing your next candidate.\n\nBush so aggravates Liberals, and that alone is worth some "brownie" points.

I think that she is doing as well as she can in a hostile invironment, she has faced following one of the worst goveners in the history of Michigan, John Engler stood for dirty politics. I do think that I will vote for her based on I do not like Dick Devos or anything that he stands for. His Amway company is well known for ripping off many people. They have even been under indictment from other companys for illegal business practices. Some of the thing that Granholm has done are really good for the state. Like her trip to Japan. While a photo opp it will still bring jobs to Michigan and that is what is needed most.

Unfortunately I grew up in his old stomping ground in Metairie, La.  Of course, that is where, 1989, he beat our old friend John Treen for a seat in the Louisiana Legislature, convincing him that he could run for Governor, prompting one of the most interesting political races in US history.  Crook versus racist.  Opponent Edwin Edwards, always the astutue politican in the Huey Long style, even ran bumper stickers that said "Vote for the Crook, it's important."  Edwards won, of course, showing Louisianans' preference for crooks over racists (although just barely).  At least Edwards was a straight shooter...as he often was reported to say "all politicans are crooks, at least you know I'm an honest crook".\n\nDuke got a PhD at a hokey university in Ukraine, with his dissertation on Zionism as a form of racial supremacy.  What a guy. \n\nI remember going to junior high school at a place where the KKK had rallies in the gym, and this was in the 70's!  Duke was part of this scene.  Yes indeed, Jefferson Parish was a lovely place to be (this is sarcasm...in case you were wondering).\n\nI understand he is making noises about running for US Senate and busy with a website and radio show...assuming Katrina didn't wipe him out.  After his tenure in a federal prison (or as they said in Office Space a federal a..-pounding penitentiary) I doubt his views on the races have been changed much.

I think he should, but he is trying to avoid it.  I talked to him a few weeks ago and he sounded like he wants to appear non-partisan because it would help him better convince the Republicans to get serious about the threat of manmade climate change.\n\nAlso, I saw the movie, but it pales in comparison to seeing the presentation live.  I felt that the movie jumped around too much and was not as focused.  Plus a lot of the footage was grainy, like whoever was in charge of it took a picture of the screen during a presentation rather than getting a copy of it and putting it directly into the film.\n\nOh, one other thing, Mr. Gore has a whole lot more personality than the movie expresses.  He's got a great sense of humor, and is a typical southern guy.  The way the media paints him is completely the opposite of who he really is.
