Sounds good to me. He is one of the most brilliant men in politics.

I agree with it whole heartedly.\n\nAl Gore is strong, perhaps strong enough to win his party's nomination for President, but he doesn't have the strength, the inclination nor the support of the American voters.\n\nObama is a huge threat to Clinton- but both would make excellent progressive Presidents. Obama, if he waits, will have to defend himself to the American public over claims that he misled the voters by signalling his intentions to represent them as a Senator and not the President.\n\nThe Republican party will have a really tough time with the '08 elections, and God willing they won't be returned to office. You only need look at the good fmr President Clinton and VP Al Gore did to see how great America could be. Only no one remembers the good because of the scandals and the Right wing Republicans determined to undermine him at any opportunity.\n\nIf the Republicans want to win the 08 elections they need to start grooming strong candidates now!\n\nHillary, in conclusion- will win the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. And will be incredibly tough to beat.\n\nHer husband is a very clever politician and still mega popular. Just look at the rallies they did for Hillary recently.\n\nShe's be the first female President in US history, popular with Mums, women, family groups, minoritys etc... \n\nAnd thats what the world needs- a woman!\n\nThe Iceman.

Short-term probably Rove, but in the long term I don't see it. In terms of wins and nothing else, I think his biggest strength is in the divisive way he ran his campaigns which was to rile up the base (religious right and neo-cons) and terrify the middle (terrorists, democrats hate christian values, etc, etc, etc) but after a while, when a lot of it turns out to not be true, people won't buy it anymore and the strategy will fail like we just saw. When it comes down to it, he doesn't really understand people as well as everybody thought. \n\nRahm Emanuel did a hell of a good job, but there was also lots of grassroots support with Move On and the DNC also doing a lot of good work. He focused hard on on important races and recruited a lot of good candidates, so we'll have to see how his strategies work out, but right now it's looking good.

I dont think that Bush is doing a very good job handeling the war. I think that he is leading America down the wrong path. But, he has made a few "good Choices" for our country. But wat r we gonna do hes our pres for wat 2more years so wat r we gunna do? were stuck w/ Bush and we have to live with his bad choices for the country for a few more years. Hopefully a better president will come along in 2008!

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 would hope that, since as Gov. he has proved himself to be ineffectual and not intellectual, Rove would not even consider him. ( or anyone else as who wants Rove around anymore) I don't think that even if he tried he could change a Constitutional requirement. It would have to be approved by 2/3 of Congress( and they can't agree on anything) and than 2/3rds of the states.

Been there and signed it right after it went up. Absolutely an honest and independent investigation should be conducted to look into everything that has happened in the past five years, but that isn't going to happen because (horrors of the Founding Fathers) the same political party is in control of all three branches of the federal government and the state governments of key swing states. It has been a quite yet thorough take over, and the unconscious American people have rolled over, tuned up their cable TV, and let it all wash over them. If this trend continues through 2008, I believe with all my heart that the America I grew up in and learned about in school no longer will exist.

You know, I hadn't thought about it before this moment, but he would be perfect. He would make the (Presidential) collection complete.  Plus, he really knows what's best for all of us, I mean he was talking for year about throwing all of those drug addict in jail.  That is just what is need.  You have a great mind full of great ideas gottianatomy.  Thank for the idea.  I will vote for him for president.

Personally i think that 'Golum' from Lord of the Rings would have been a better president and even in 2008. at least he says 'precious' when addressing his personal thoughts..lol

So far, yes.  Setting the precedent for the future.\n\n*In 50 years people will look at their crappy President and say, "Well, he might be bad, but he's no Dubbya."

He was ok! Answered even the ruff questions! I don't know- I did not vote for Bush! I am not going to vote for him in 2008! I don't think he is to bright! sorry you ask me!bye

Yeah, he's great, I would love for him to be president, but unfortunately it seems to me you need to be a Christian to become president in this screwed up country. I hope not, I hope Feingold could be pres.\nJeff Bingham from NM voted against the war, I think he may be running.\n\nAs far as Democrats 'not having their own ideas', I've heard that so much and that is so laughable. Someone like Bill O'Reilly probably said that and now all the Republicans are parroting it (that's ironic - you guys can't think for yourself)! It's rediculous! You can't be a political party without a platform (ideas)! Try healthcare for all - that's not an idea? Of course it's going to seem that way if there's a republican-controlled government. WTF?

I think the majority of the U.S. at the moment is republican. For '08 I can't see a democrat winning. If another disliked republican administration takes over than by '12 no doubt dems will hold the white house. Republicans will probably hold house + senate in '08 as well.

I think for the last year President Bush has been the fall guy for Rumsfield but loyalty is high on his agenda. His administration has more friends than many think - the election is over & to take the next election will require unity. We proved every man for himself did not work. The ranks will close. My state went 82% Republican including several Democrat seats to state Senate & House. We split our national House seats. Conservatives & Moderates will learn the Democrats do not speak for them. This could be a good thing - sacrificial lambs.

First, I am curious where you heard this. I am very active in the political internet world and I haven't heard of this!\n\nSecondly - he can't do that. He has served as president and no matter which party he goes to, he can't be president again.\n\nWhich is a good thing!

I don't think the tone of Yahoo will change all that much. Anyone who labels themself "Conservative" or "Liberal" is likely to have many of the same knee-jerk reactions to questions they don't like or that appear to attack any of their beliefs they believe particularly strongly.\nIs W the worst/best president ever? Time will tell. I don't like him, but that's because I'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative. Bush is my polar opposite. I'm hopeful that '08 will bring us someone thoughtful, intelligent, rational, and who can see the "big picture". I'd rather have someone who can recognize & repair a mistake rather than dig in his or her heels and and just be stubborn. Just as it's possible to be conservative & still be critical of bad leadership, it's also possible to be resolute without being stubborn.\nI'm keeping my fingers crossed.
