Cindy likes the nice Repubs.

I'm a registered Independent, . Also I vote the man or woman not the party. I'm trying to realistically think of someone who is a nationally known figure that voters can identify with.
Btw, I did mention Martin Sheen at the beginning of this thread.....

Yup, I like Powell and McCain -- decent sorta guys as politicos go, have principles rather than voices and usually do the honourable thing. Don't think either of them have a hope in hell at the presidency. The next president usually arises from relative obscurity in the last year before the election.

Here's my very outsider bet: Janet Napolitano

The only constitutional amendment currently being contemplated is agin the gay marryin' (as The Onion puts it). I think the Dems will nominate Hillary, the Repugs will nominate another Apocalypse-obsessed Jesus* freak, and it'll be another United States of Canada vs Jesusland battle.

*= Refers to the hate-filled Jesus that the Republicans pray to, who is not to be confused with the guy who said "love thy neighbour", "blessed are the meek" and other such dangerous, un-American liberal nonsense.

Slyvester Stallone

Between him and Arnold, they can re-kindle the Rambo versus Commando days, blow every ****** up on the planet and put things right with a AK-47 and grenade launcher.

If all goes to plan, I'll be getting my green card sorted this week, which should give me just enough time to get my citizenship in time to vote for President Schwarzeneggar. I'll be most annoyed if any of these events don't come to pass.

The gay marriage amendment is still born right now as Bush is now saying its not a priority oopps he didnt tell his supporters that during the election!

Orrin Hatch (Sen Utah) has proposed an amendment to allow foreign born citizens to run so watch this space.

While the amendment they actually need to be working on is XIV!

I am impressed by your offering of Evan Bayh- I always thought he would make a great choice for the Dems- 2x Govenor of IN, now a Senator, conservative enough to win a few more heartland blue states like OH, IA, WI. A good looking/photogenic candidate with a nice looking family. Plus, not many years of Washingtom voting trail to lambaste him on. I believe he could have beat Bushito, had it been he rather than "The French looking Canditate". He would have gotten my vote this year (Plus his Father Birch wrote me a letter when he was Govenor and I was in 2nd grade)

As for my side- it looks bleak right now to me- Powell? Condee Rice?, Guiliani? McCain already looks like hell (alchoholic puffy face and all...) Frist might be a good choice...Jeb? I doubt it, but who knows.

As long as it's not a Bush or any other religious fanatic then I'm not too bothered. I can't see Hilary Clinton getting it - Is Jesusland really ready for a woman running the country?

I reckon it may be Hillary Clinton vs Rudolph Guiliani.

(I caught the end of a talk radio programme last week and I'm certain the presenter was saying that Hillary had just made a speech re; abortion and seems to be backtracking somewhat and moderating her views). She knows that she will have no chance of being elected if she is too pro-active this sphere.

This and Ironporers comments seem to sum it up for me although I am also hoping to get my AOS this week which could enable me to vote next time.

effi

I reckon it will be Hillary against Juliany (sp), sorry brain is tired, it is late, you know who I mean though. Hillary will win. I don't think McCain will run for pres, I think Cheney will quite before the 4 years are up due to health reasons and McCain will take his place. Bush must have promised McCain something for him to be kissing his ass the way he does. As long as the other numbnuts Bush does not get in I really don't care, although I would vote for Mrs Bill.
