The Clinton Thread

[lazur]

All of the candidates completely SUCK. We need to organize a write-in vote for someone else ... who has suggestions?

 

[StorminNorman]

It won't happen. For the reasons Malice correctly stated.

Romney

Romney

Of all of them, he was the one who seemed the most 'Presidential' in appearance and presentation. I'm skeptical about his 'religious' views and how they would play out in a Presidency.

Ron Paul

 

[lazur]

I think I'm going to write in Colin Powell... who's with me?

 

[hippie_hunter]

I'd rather have Powell be the Secretary of Defense.

 

[Malice]

I was for Romney, and his religious views have no bearing in my vote.

Yeah, I never viewed them as a 'show stopper', but I'm naturally skeptical of anyone who appears to be that 'socially conservative', as I am not. Fiscally, yes, but socially, stay the heck out of my business.

For the most part I agree...

Fiscally Conservative...
Socially...dont do much that requires spending too much money...

Honestly, the way Mormonism is practiced - a Mormon President MAY be the best.

You have to constantly prepare for the future, you care strongly about families and good morals. I don't agree on the mythology - but the practices are great.

I am hoping Romney gets the VP spot, simply because I don't think McCain will last 4, much less 8 years.

I was thinking the same thing...

Plus Romney is DAMN good with money.
He might be able to really influence McCain

Thats the ONLY wa I vote McCain as president because in effect its a romney for president.

Hmm, that IS a very interesting point ...

 

[Matt]

Would and/or could Obama run as an indepedant like Lieberman did for the seat in Conn? If he did, what are the chances he would win?

Zero. All he would do is split the Democratic vote giving McCain the win with 48-50 % of the vote compared to the other two in the 20-25 % range.

 

[Matt]

Ron Paul

I'm just gonna throw this out there...you can throw it right back. We revive Richard Nixon's head, give him a robot body and let him run!

 

[rdh007]

This is as close to happening as Gore is to being VP again.

He'll meet you half way, you smelly hippies

No i think thats what you EXPECT to happen because it seems logical but figure Obama getting his votes swinging some indy votes if not most and reps who hate McCain and Clinton.

 

[ObakeTora]

he absolutely could, and he would be damaging to the Democratic ticket.

If he would run, you could basically give McCain the presidency

I hope he does do that!

The majority of Republicans who are against McCain are against him because he is not conservative enough. Because he is percieved as liberal. They certainly will not vote for Obama, considering that. Most of these Republicans have already rallied behind McCain and will continue to do so especially if the option is John McCain or Hillary Clinton.

Obama will take some of the indy vote. But indy votes put candidates over the top. They do not carry a candidate to the White House.

Even if Obama gets a good majority of independents (and a lot of them still like McCain as their perception of him has not changed since 2000), he will still only get about half of the Democrat vote (probably less, as many Democrats who voted for him in the primary will now see him as a Nader-like figure who will lead to 4 more years of Republican rule). He will take about 15-20 % of the popular vote. Hillary will take 30-25, and McCain will ultimately win with about 55 % (the in-fighting among Democrats will piss off a lot of indys and send them to McCain).

Lot of half truths and and guesswork thrown in there. McCain is to liberal so if im going to have to vote for a liberal its not going to be a woman or a guy whos going to die getting a hard on looking at the secretaries. McCain isnt the contender your making him out to be in the above post. Hes a long shot to win against either one of the dems and is the weakest republican candidate in a very long time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but right now McCain is up over either of them in national polls.

He has a double digit lead against Hillary and a significant lead against Obama in the polls...
