My vote is on Romney. I really like what I have seen. Dont know his international view yet. He'll need a strong plan.

I'm not sure if anyone with that sort of a career can ever be squeaky clean ;)

He's a strong candidate, and someone I'd consider...while he's a solid executive, he lacks the foreign policy experience of a Joe Biden...which will be important.

But most importantly, he may be considered too much of an outsider to the GOP establishment to get party support. The existing power structure is primarily concerned with maintaining the GOP majority...Mitt's independent side could seriously jeopardize this.

That is very true...

Although I have found mormons to be a bit freaky at times, generally speaking they are incredibly nice and genuine people. A pleasure to hang with.

Well, I don't think the number of Mormons that practice it is really that high...perhaps about 5 percent?

Sorry to get off subject....

was only being facetious about the multiple wives. But have heard 5-10%........


I have always liked Joe Biden.......

What about Bill Richardson?

The Dad Fisherman 08-29-2006 04:05 PM

More than one wife????....Makes about as much sense as "More than one kick in the nads" :hee:

Ahhh, A Fireside Chat with Spence :eyes:

Biden isn't bad but a little Used Car salesman like, high end used cars like Benz & Bentleys, but Used Car Salesman slickiness, like Sheldon Whitehouse...

Romney doesn't do squat for me...

Hmmm, who else are we looking at? Who besides McCain, Biden, and Clinton do you think will run and has a minor or above chance?

Mike P 08-29-2006 07:21 PM

Biden vs Giuliani in The Battle of the Bad Combovers. Is America ready for a balding President :D

On a serious note---candidates from states with 3 electoral votes rarely get to run, and even more rarely get elected.

Biden is easily one of the best dressed in Congress...perhaps that's why I like him :hee:

McCain will be a tough candidate, but unless he can get the GOP nod well in advance of the primaries I think the GOP could shred itsself in the process.

Same goes for Hillary. If the DNC was smart they would hash all this out so the primary process is just an exercise to reinforce the platform.

But we all know how little common sense there can be come voting season :yak4:

McCains age is a factor.

pres?
 
I will most likely be harrased for this but I still like John Dean. Too left you say -well maybe we need a little left to make up for the fascist we have running our gov. now. No international experience - what did George II have . Did you hear him this morning on the Today show -the man can't string a sentence together.

Swimmer 08-30-2006 10:59 AM

The next one
 
I hear Mrs. Bush is running because George doesn't want to move just yet.:cheers:

Ah yes those evil right wing fascists! Its funny though, guys like you with your radical views, and pure hatred for Bush, never show any anger toward the real evil fascists in this world today, you know, radical islam. You have more anger towards Bush than the radicals who want us killed. Its truly sad and i feel sorry for you.

It might be because being struck at home is disturbing to some :scatter:

I think you meant Howard Dean?

As an aside, John Dean's new book "Conservatives Without Conscience" is really good :hee:
