What do you think about Giuliani (sp) running for president?
466141
I think he needs more experience than being a mayor, albeit the mayor of the biggest US city.

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

i am a democrat, but i don't think the next president is going to be a democrat.  we have been seriously getting our asses kicked and the republicans have too many big-name personalities, whereas we have.. who? hillary? bah. get real.\n\npersonally, i think if john mccain can swing the nomination, he's got a great chance.  he's very powerful, liked by lots of people, and seems to legislate based on ethical principles, not self-interest and sleazy practices.  hell, i'd vote for the guy and i'm in the other party!\n\nhttp://mccain.senate.gov/

Well there isn't exactly a bumper crop of good candidates on either side. But if it comes down to it, I would love to see Hitlery and Condi go at it. (My vote would go to Condi). \n\nI try really hard to vote for the person and not the party, but it just seems that Democrats in this day and age are a bunch of whiny politically correct wimps. \n\nI pray that Condi runs-I pray that McCain doesn't. I don't think there is a viable democrat out there, save for Lieberman, and he is going to get kicked out of the Donkey party-mark my words.

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!

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.

I think they have grounds, but it would be hard to push through. I'd like to see Bush and Cheney among others indicted as war criminals.  Its ridiculous what's happening in our government right now.  Who do you think will run in 2008?  If its Hillary are you voting for her, I don't agree with all her policies, but I think she'd make a good president and I think its about time we get some Girl Power in the White house.

1. Mitt Romney\n2. Rudolph Gulianni\n3. John McCain\n\nPersonally, I still wish Condi would run.

Jeb has done very well in Florida. He even\n   speaks the language of all the Hispanics down\n   there.  So, I hope he will run for president some\n   day. If you ask the Democrats, they would never\n   admit it even if he succeeded.

I certainly think he would have made an interesting President.  He is obviously very intelligent, and believes in a path to help the USA.  I think he speaks his mind too much to be a viable candidate, but I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

Rudolph Guilliani. He's also a Republican which makes it a double plus. I do not trust the Democrats to run the country well. They're wusses - no gumption and selling the country out.

If he markets himself properly. he will be a shoe-in.  Anti- gun control folks and pro-lifers will accept anyone who can convince them that they will vote for "original intent" supreme court judges.  After nearly eighty years of complete control of congress, the dem's gave us judges that respond favorably to the ones who learn to say "WAAA!!" the loudest.  The former mayor of New York knows first hand the consequences of idiot judges.  \nHaving said all this, I hope we get a more conservative choice than Giuliani.  But I'd be proud to vote for him if he's it.

2008 might just be Rudy Giuliani vs Hillary Clinton in what will certainly be dubbed The Battle of New York.\n\nOf the two, Hillary is both more qualified and more terrifying.  Her approach to democracy is to disarm the populous and I can't be sure just how she would handle foreign poilcy.\n\nGiuliani on the other hand is neither qualified, nor would he be likely to really hurt the country.  The lesser of two evils perhaps?\n\nIf I had my choice, I'd want a Libertarian House, a Republican Senate, Hillary in the Office, and Colin Powell as V.P.\n\nI know, it's a pipe dream.  I'll still be looking for a better choice than these two come the big day.  What do you think?

I am a Conservative, card carrying Republican and I WOULD NOT vote for him. He is an entertainer.  He is over the top.  He would scare me.\n\nI am a traditionalist Conservative who believes in the values for our country that the founding fathers penned into the constitution.\n\nThe Republican party needs a good traditionalist to run.  Not a far right wacko... Leave that kind of politics to the far left Democrats.

I think this question is bogus, because the assumption that Hillary is the front-runner for the 2008 Democratic nomination is, frankly, ridiculous.\n\nRepublicans would love to see her get nominated because they know she doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.\n\nSomeday we will have a woman president. It's just not going to be Hillary. If the Democrats want to win back the presidency, they won't even let her be the V.P. nominee.\n\nSo to answer your bogus, ridiculous question -- in the matchup of your dreams, McCain/Guiliani would destroy Hillary/Obama.\n\nBut for the sake of this country, let's hope the Democrats aren't that stupid.\n\nP.S. I think both sides would be wise to avoid nominating a U.S. Senator for president. A former U.S. Senator hasn't won a presidential election since Richard Nixon. The disadvantage for Senators is that their record on national issues is too easy for opponents to pick apart. Governors have a far easier time, IMO.

great, yes he could win the nomination, although that depends on his wife Elizabeth's health; he is a good choice because he talks about the good in America, the hope for a better future, college for all students who want to work hard and attend,, he speaks well, doesn't read from a script, tells it like it is, with a positive message,, a desire to unite a divided America,,  refreshing after listening instead to the Rove-Bush focus on evil and fear,, criticizing the media for printing a story about  the terrorists assets,, something the Bush team and Homeland Security has talked about many times,, their rhetoric is getting tiresome,,\nI sometimes wonder what it would take for citizens to stand up and say  "we are sick and tires,and are not going to take it anymore."

I suspect he will run for the nomination (winning is another thing.)  He has been out there making a name for himself outside of politics, writing and publicizng books for a general audience, talking on the Today show about weight loss, and he is chairman of the National education Association and the National Governor's Conference, both of which position him to forge alliences and demonstrate national leadership.  The mian political reason to do any of this is to set the ground for a Presidential run -- they don't help him in his home state as much as other things he could do which don't take him away.  He cannot run again for governor because of term limits.  And he is from a town called Hope, which gives hope to Presidential candidates (like Bill Clinton.)\n\nI have no doubt he is seriously considering running, and suspect he will actually try.\n\nPS -- it is Huckabee.
