Who should I vote for in 2008? Mitney, Dean, Clinton, McCain, Guiliani, Reid, Rice, or someone else? Why?

OK, Democrats...the chosen one...Shrillary Clinton\n    Republican...Condi...I know, she says she has no interest in running, but she will answer the call of duty as she always has.\n\nWho will win?  Well, we can choose between 2 candidates.  One worked her way to where she is, speaks several languages, is a concert pianist, was chancellor at Stanford, and was an olympic alternate in some sport, I forget what.  She also has plenty of foreigh policy experience as secretary of state.\n\nThe other candidate got to where she is by who she married including her current position(she got a lot of campaign contributions  from people  pardoned by her husband.)  And she has a complete disdain for our military, the people who keep us safe.\n\nWho would you pick?

I personally will vote for the candidate that most closely matches my views.  I am a conservative democrat, but to be honest we are so far away from the 2008 elections that a lot can change.  Politicians tend to show thier true colors only reluctantly.\n\nOne great tool I use is Issues2000, it tracks politicians based on voting records and public statements.  It is a good way to determine who I feel most closely associated with and I will be looking at it closely in 2008.\n\nAt the moment I am unhappy with the direction of our country: religious persecution, corruption, lies propogated as truth.  I will very likely be voting democrat on into the future.

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 will vote for the person who represents my views and values and idea of what America really stands for....For me that is usually a Democrat.  I wish there were more parties to choose from.  Another couple of people to vote for that actually had a chance to win.

Newt Gingrich\n\nHe is the only living Republican who has led the party to a national sweep.  He understands how to get results.\n\nIT WILL NOT BE GUILIANI NOR MCCAIN.  THEY WILL NEVER MAKE IT OUT OF A PRIMARY.  REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTERS ARE CONSERVATIVE, SO GUILIANI IS OUT FOR HIS LIBERAL SOCIAL VIEWS.  MCCAIN IS HATED MORE THAN HILLARY CLINTON.  NUFF SAID ON THAT ONE.

I hope it's Edwards - McCain...\neither way it's about 8+ trillion times better that what we have now...\nBut I like Edwards... health care is a mess and us folks in middle America would like to be able to afford to go to the doctor if we need to...

Sure, I guess I would vote for the other parties candidate.  Never say never.  But if I were to pick somebody I would really want to run in the 2008 election it would be McCain.  He is the most likely Republican to win the primaries and lose to a Democrat.

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.

to start, i am a democrat.  i will be voting for tancredo for president.  i will be voting against mccain, because he is a sell-out traitor.\n\nTANCREDO  FOR  PRESIDENT!!!!

I would like to see Guiliani on the ticket. Biden is a decent choice. Whoever can undo the damage Bush and his idiotic cronies have caused ;but that is a tough challenge for anybody. Hilary has a shot,but too many Americans don't feel the time is right for a gender change. We'll probably have to hold our nose and push the button. I'm kind of jaded by the whole thing.

If some loser was running on the R ticket (like McCain for example) , I would vote for Lieberman. I would vote for Zel Miller. Aside from those two, I can't think of a single dem I would vote for. \n\nNow if Condi were to run, She'd kick any dems butt out there! Or Cheney...oh would I love it if he were to run!

I like Warner. I also like Evan Bayh. Recent polls put the 2 of them at the bottom of the pack as likely candidates, though, far behind Hillary, John Edwards, and John Kerry. None of the top 3 would bring in enough "swing voters" to win. Warner and Bayh are moderate enough to do it, though. Another possible, who few people mention, is Wesley Clark, who I like a lot, too (enough to write in his name on my 2004 ballot). I have yet to hear Mike Gravel's name mentioned, either, even though he is one of the few who have actually announced their candidacy. I like his stance on direct democracy and the FairTax plan.\nThe full list is:\nAnnounced candidates for the Democratic Party:\n\nSenator Joe Biden of Delaware \nSenator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut \nFormer Senator Mike Gravel of Alaska \n\nLikely candidates\n\nSenator Evan Bayh of Indiana \nRetired General Wesley Clark of Arkansas \nSenator Hillary Clinton of New York \nFormer Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota \nFormer Senator John Edwards of North Carolina \nSenator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin \nSenator John Kerry of Massachusetts \nGovernor Bill Richardson of New Mexico \nGovernor Tom Vilsack of Iowa \nFormer Governor Mark Warner of Virginia\n \nOther potential candidates\n\nSenator Barbara Boxer of California \nGovernor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee \nGovernor Mike Easley of North Carolina \nFormer Vice President Al Gore of Tennessee \nRepresentative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio \nGovernor Joe Manchin of West Virginia \nSenator Barack Obama of Illinois \nGovernor Brian Schweitzer of Montana \nReverend Al Sharpton of New York\n\nedit:\nI would definately vote for Warner, Bayh, or Wesley Clark. I like John Edwards as a person, but he'd be a horrible president. I like Gravel a lot, too, but don't think he could get the moderate support my "big 3" could get. I think that there is too much distrust and/or hatred toward everyone in the "Washington crowd" for a Senator or Representative to take the White House. \n\nIf I had to pick one, it'd be Clark, simply because I know more about him than the others, having supported him in '04. But, once I read more into the candidates, my pick may change.

I won't goose step but I would vote for him because he is not a repuglican. They have screwed up in 5 years what it took Clinton 8 years to straighten out.

A simple spelling error...but I can guarantee you this...If Hillary Rodham Clinton runs in '08...I will vote for her in a New York Minute...I WAS Republican, but since this last election, I switched parties....cuz Mr. Bush had ruined the image of the Grand Old Party...Hillary in '08...get out the vote!!

Well, I didn't think much of her chances before this issue, but I admit it probably isn't going to help them any.  Frankly, the only reason C. Rice has been mentioned for 2008 is that there is a female breathing down our necks over in the Democrat camp.  \n\nPersonally, I expect to vote Libertarian.  If we need to field a female, we have a good one:  Dr. Mary Ruwart, one very smart lady with enough class to handle any job.

If there was no other choise, I would have to vote for Clinton. She's not someone I would want to be president, but Rice constantly lies through her teeth. Well, maybe she's not that bad, but she shows no compassion. \n\nOf course in the last election, I was unable to vote for the lesser of two evils. Instead I voted for Nader, so it's likely I'll go third party again if it comes to this.
