I see it between Mitt and the hildabeast with Romney winning in a landslide. One DUmmy will call for an assassination.

Only one??

Mitt/Fred (hopefully) against Clinton/some poor sap. If that is the case, the Mitt ticket will win because even liberals hate Hillary. If it against Obama/some poor sap, then the GOP might be ****ed because he is looked upon like the Messiah of the left.


It won't be George Bush, that is for sure. :D

i seriously think Hillary is the one for them, whether they like it or not.

Obama, should he actually succeed in getting the nomination, once he starts talking, people will be horrified at his lack of experience and run away from him in droves.

My prediction:

Mitt/Giuliani  vs  Obama/Richardson


The democrats win.

Obama is unelectable. He is inexperienced and he is black.  The USA isn't going to vote him in.

I just don't see McCain making it all the way.  To me it's between the two of them really.

Obama vs Romney

Romney of course wins the presidency.

Barack Hussein Obama is a most unfortunate name.   The man doesn't stand a chance.

Driving home last night I listened to Obama's victory speech in SC.  This guy scares the hell out of me, he's got that JFK charisma thing going (with little behind it  ::))  Just commenting that there's probably going to be enough folks to fall for it and I'm thinking (scared) that he may go all the way  :thatsright:.

well, if Obama goes all the way and becomes The One... once the debates between him and our GOPer, even McCain will easily defeat him.

he's an empty suit. he may be a swell guy with a huge future, but he's just too young and inexperienced right now. I'm about his same age and I dont know ANYbody in our age bracket that is ready to be president. I'll take a 60 or 70 year old ANY day over Obama.

It isn't you (or me) that will not vote for him for his ethincity.  I am just observing that it ain't gonna happen.

Those that make it past that will not allow him in because of his inexperience.  Yesterday in the LAT, a fairly well known liberal columnist went over the invalid comparisons between Obama and JFK, Truman, Lincoln, etc.  All had tons more experience than Obama, who basically has none.  All any Republican candidate need to is read that column back once out loud the real race starts.

Bubba is right about one thing:  Both camps are writing the Republican candidate's playbook.

If Bill doesn't back off...Hillary will lose her chance.

Listening to the "talking heads" on both FOX and Meet the Press today....Hillary only got the white female vote in SC. Edwards got the white male vote.

IF...big big IF....Obama wins the nomination, and took Edwards as a VP....it could be a challenge for the GOP. Obama would get the black vote and Edwards would take the white male Dem vote.

Hillary scares the hell out of me...regardless of who she picks as a running mate. We, who pay taxes, will be broke if she wins. Or dead from terrorist attacks.

I don't think Obama will win though....however, if his name was John Smith....he would be kicking ass and not be bothered to take names. I also don't think he will get Florida's vote....Hillary is courting the Hispanic vote too much...though that may not translate into votes from the Cuban imigrants.

Now that Fred is out, I 'm not "gung-ho" over any of the candidates. Our vote comes up on Super Tuesday and I have yet to make up my mind.

I like McCain for his military experience, and ultimately, I think that is what will sway my vote. He can surround himself with economic gurus a whole lot easier than he can "terror fighters". If we aren't safe in our homes, our workplaces, and our country...it really won't matter what our health care situation is or how many tax cuts we have.

I saw a McCain rally on C-SPAN earlier today.  I didn't see anyone that looked under 50 in the audience.

I think this is why Bill Clinton keeps flipping out and losing his cool; he knows how easily it would be for Obama to be their nominee. He is immensely likable and charming. But once they get past that, Obama hasnt yet really laid out all his plans for the public. And once they hear what he wants to do, and how much it will cost them... they will not like it.

Bill obviously thinks Hilary has more time in and deserves it more.. which is what galls most of us I think. Nobody 'deserves' to be the president. But he just cant keep his temper in check, it seems.


and Hillary is imploding and Bill is lighting the fuse.. those two are going to flame out if they dont get their shit together and work as a team. I think the stress of being around each other so much may be taking its toll on them... Bill isnt getting much 'stress relief' from his usual ladies cause the cameras are following him around 24/7. And Hilary is probably get tired of having to entertain the ex president since he has nothing to do most of the time between speeches.
