I think Clinton and Giuliani both will go very far too…I say Huckabee and Giuliani vs. Obama and Clinton, an I think the Republicans will end up winning.

Miss Ayelery and dudewithasock will win as write-ins but be disqualified when it is discovered that the dude not only abides but lies about his age to run in national political races.
Yelling out my back door: “Heeeere USA election (couple loud whistles); ELECTION, come, election! (Turns to wife) when’t the last time you saw election? It isn’t responding. (Pauses a few more minutes) Yell and whistle a couple more times…” (Wife turns to me) “Would you shut up, the Election must be out of range, we’ll just have to wait until it comes on its own. If you keep that up you’re just going to attract door-bellers”
At least that’s the way it is when I call my dog or kids.
Obama’s big problem was doubt that a black man can win. Taking the Hill by 9 points in a white state is huge. He will win the nom by bashing Hill, advocating himself as the agent of change, while Hill is old money. Edwards will finish near Hill, and will get the Veep cause Hill has stronger negatives in the general election, she has the highest neg ratings. Edwards will be a more natural choice. Mr. Agent of change can’t run that way with old Hill Dog chained around his collar. So it’s for sure Obama- Edwards.
Romney has no chance. He got elected Gov of Mass. because they don’t care about religion there, they like money. The Mormon thing is just plain screwy to the Baptist base of the blues party. That’s why Huck is rising, he makes stupid republicans feel smart and correct in their heads. Huck can’t pick Mr. 911 cause he’s actually a godless liberal wrapped in a war flag. Mc Cain is the perfect match, and I think he will poll as well as Mr. 911. He is the strongest, centrist guy on the blue team, the man to have in the general election.
So there you have it. The Dem’s will win cause the overall electorate is 70 % opposed to Bush, and a Huck- Mc Cain “stay the course while praising Jesus” rap will get 40% of the popular vote, tops.
Ron Paul will continue to pull 10 % +. But he won’t place better then third by the end, and won’t get the veep cause he’s not a team player.
Every election, everyone screams for change. Change, change, change. It’s quite the buzzword, always the same, always annoying, and forever screamed by the gullible. It’s the only thing that doesn’t change.
Here’s my new year’s resolution. I for one don’t want change. I will not be part of this trend of brainless blather. I hearby vow to eliminate the word “change” from my vocabulary until after the election next November.
I thought it was screamed to the gullible. Yes, a lot of us want change. Question is, will we get it? Even from a candidate that wants to make a lot of changes, there still has to be cooperation. The “old guard” and the corporate world are often forces against change, so the battle will be an interesting one.
I’d offer a prediction but I’m still trying to figure out why so many Americans voted for W. in 2004…
LOL ! Politics is a complex , often not so fun, argumentative subject. The point of MY THREAD, LOL is not to cause debate about candidates, but rather , to test prediction abilities.
Anyway, thanks to all posters, there will be some political ranting, etc.
I am hoping that people on this forum will take a shot at predicting the future. Explaining why is optional, but kinda interesting. There are other threads to talk about who you would vote for. This thread is about what you think the rest of the idiots (hey, they elected Bush Co. twice ! ) will do. This is your chance to play crystal ball. So take a shot. Just remember that you can predict the victory of someone you wouldn’t vote for. This is about how shiny your crystal ball is, not about what you want or believe. So take a shot. Non USA riders can play as well. I am sure many of you have opinions on the wisdom of the Yankee voter.
As I tell my boys, anyone can claim anything in a TV commercial.
Probably because he was screaming, “Change, change, change!” Typical Americanism; grass is always greener, gimme, gimme, gimme what I want NOW!, if I don’t like it or it doesn’t make ME happy, I’ll dispose of it and move on until I get what I want, fast food & instant potatoes are best, yellow lights mean get out of the way because I’m more important than you, and "I don’t care if I’m 12 and you’re 79, I’m still going to call you by your first name.
