agree, as long as he doesnt bow to Israeli lobby like the previous USA leaders (Bush Jr, Bush Sr, etc). Kennedy was a good man, but the jews assasinated him

I'm a Democrat but I would vote for him if the democrats don't put a good candidate. He isn't a conservative, but a moderate. He is pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and he is tough on crime. I like that in a person but I don't think he will win the nomination. The conservatives in the Republican party won't vote for him and most of them vote in the primaries. He will lose and I think McCain would get the nomination. He's from NY, has any northerner been elected president in recent times? I think his chances are slim of being nominated.

YES!!!  I agree with you that it should be a priority, but it wont happen--it would've happened already.  If we let him stay after the Florida debacle and the Ohio debacle, they arent going to remove the administration any time soon.  Doesnt matter who gets elected.  I agree that it could restore confidence around the world, but they already hate us and our arrogance, I dont think much will change that.  Will never happen.

Obama in '08! Keep your fingers crossed! He's got my vote!

Are you so sheltered to think southern white conservatives are racist or ignorant? We have all kinds, just like New York, but get with the program already. The KKK has always had greater membership in the north than the south since the 1920s & still does today. \n\nDr Rice would be a great candidate we'd love to vote for, but I fear she's too connected to the war. Powell on the other hand would be excellent. I think it's going to be Rudy though & a huge victory.

Houstonians selected Democrat Nick Lampson in the bitter race to succeed former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on Tuesday, overcoming Shelley Sekula-Gibbs' strong write-in effort to save the seat for the Republicans.\n\ncc

Yes. talk about awakening the sleeping giant, the next two years will shock and awe Americans back into reality. and then we can move forward with a republican president like Rudy.

Probably Clinton or Gore.  The way things are going, by 2008, the country will be begging the democrats to please please take over and make things right, no matter who they nominate.

No I can't since the current law requires the president to be an American-born citizen. Now an American of African decent, no problem. I just watched Colin Powell on Leno last night with the hopes that he would soften a little on the idea of running for President. He would be a good one.

It would be awesome if Jimmy Johnson, or Kyle Bush won it!!!

I, while I think it would be unelectable, would love to see a democratic ticket of Hillary/Obama ticket in 08. I think with Hillary's experience it would be a successful presidency. and also set up an Obama presidency in 2016. Both are viable candidates for president in 08. I think the country would move forward with either one. Instead of backwards like it has the last 6 years. The reason that I would pick Hillary in 08 over Obama is Hillary is a strong and very intelligent woman that is not afraid to stand up for what is right. She would have an excellent adviser in her husband, the last legally elected president and also the most successful at running the business of the country in over 40 years.

Nope, that was in 2002 & he lost.  Chris Bell a former Houston City Councilman & former member of Congress is the Democrat Nominee.  He will face incumbant Rick Perry & Independents(Maybe) Carole Keaton-Strayhorn & Kinky Friedman.

Hopefully, Sen. John McCain will run.  Not a Republican, but I truly believe this man can bring some integrity to Congress and the White House that has been so lacking during the Bush Adminstration.  It is high time to restore some semblance, order, and stability and a renewed confidence in the Constituiton and the Bill of Rights.

And get Cheney instead? \n\nNo way. Just wait until 2008, when both will get flushed into the sewers of history.

Actually - I'd agree with the nomination of Colin Powell. He was an honest man in a den of liars. He did his duty as best he could, and then got the hell out of there. He's made his displeasure known, to a degree, but hasn't gone out of his way to trash the administration. In general, he seems like a class act.

i'm voting for Stewart/Colbert in '08!!\n\nafter the mockery of the last few elections, i just might write that in. and as far as who's going to be the next president, there really arent any good candidates yet on either side.
