Do you think presidential elections are as realistic as pro westling?

interesting analogy.....and probably closer to the truth than most would like to think about.  Since I think pro wrestling is staged......

No.  If he could serve another term I would vote for him again.  And if the Democrats do something stupid like nominate Hillary Clinton for president, we are guaranteed to have another right wing president!

Not unless Rice runs. If Clinton runs I think it would only be for President. Maybe Simone we haven't seen step forward yet. I think it could very easily happen. Don't know if they would win though. Gonna be an interesting race.

It would depend on her running mate, who she's running against, etc.  Best I can say is maybe.  What I can say with certainty is that anyone with close ties to the current administration wouldn't get my vote.

Not exactly, but that's as close a parallel as you can make with the Democrats sort of like the Laborites.\n\nYesterday's election would be a lot like a no confidence but bush will not do the gentlemanly thing and step down, the next election will be in 2008.

No never. Seriously never ever trusted him. When I saw he was running against John McCain in the primary I thought there is no way this bumpkin acting fool can win. I watched him talk and make little speeches and just thought there is no way. Then I studied up on old georgie boy and thought oh crap we are in for it now. I knew he would win. It was a dark day for this country when he "won" the Presidency.

I hope so. There are decent moderate people on both sides of the aisle. We've had to deal with the extremes (left and right) for too long. It'd be nice to have someone in the middle. Very few Americans are on the fringes like most of our choices have been lately.

Of course!  It is one of the best scenarios that people in the know have come up with to improve and streamline our electoral system.  In other words, anything but the present system!  It sux!

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.

Absolutely, not only it is possible but very likely.Be ready  for the next election process where Sen. Hillary Rodhman Clinton may be facing Condolece Rice. A little more than half the population are women.

How can one know the answer to some hypothetical question whose answer is somewhere in the future.  History has not judged George W. Bush yet as he is still President.  What we have here is just a lot of people here you either think everything he does is wrong and those that give him their support right or wrong.  None of this will go very far in the judgment History will have on the man.  Each President has highs and lows in their popularity, which also goes nowhere in history actually judging the merits of his programs.  There are those who believe that Hilary Clinton would be far superior of a President that Bush however that is just polls as well and have no basis in fact for the way people feel.  If in fact Hilary would be elected she would also be judged by history after her term(s) and then you could compare the two, but you can not have anything but an opinion now, not facts.

I don't think so for two reasons... the south and the elderly... they probably won't vote for a woman with their traditional values and we need as many votes as we can get to make sure we don't loose by a very close margin again...\n\nI don't think now is the time to take chances... if we went with a southern democrat like Edwards he could get a lot of support in the south and give McCain a run for his money for some states I think...

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.

It is possible, but highly unlikely this would happen.  There are thousands who would love to be president.  It is the American Dream to grow up and be president.

Depends on who is counting the last couple of presidentual elections have not been very honest.

I believe most people are ready for a woman in the White House.  More than that, though, we need a real leader who will bring us together.  We have a lot of issues out there right now that split us right down the middle at 50/50.  Worst of all, there is NO ONE out there, man or woman, who is really saying what is on peoples' minds.\n\nI would like to think that we could have a sensible president who would be a national and world leader, and that the sensibility would lead to less war and what not.  Problem is that there are lots of people out there (inside and outside America) who want a fight right now, and you won't get them to listen and follow any system because the system has screwed them over too many times.  This leads to an ineffective government, and infighting--which is exactly what we see in this world today.\n\nJust voting for some woman won't solve anything.  But I am certain there is a woman out there who could do the job if she wanted it.

It depends on what side of the political spectrum you stand on. Most Democrats would like it because she is a Democrat. Most Republicans would hate it, because she is a Democrat. Moderates in general would not see it as good or bad, but would rather take a wait and see attitude which is true to their moderate nature. Presidents are not as powerful as people would like to believe. They are still subject to balance of powers and must get their agendas past Congress. With less than 2 years to act in the office, I doubt she would accomplish much either good or bad.
