Let's see,
Edwards will be a professional Presidential campaigner for the rest of his life. He'll run in 2012, 2016, and 2020.
Obama is just another liberal who doesn't have a clue why he's running for President.
I'm not so sure Bill Clinton is going to be elected again. Everybody will remember what a corrupt white house he ran in the 90's and they will realize that his proxy, Hillary, is just Republican light, much like John Kerry pretended to be. They'll be getting hit from both sides for their whole 3rd term. And they have nowhere to go but down, as far as popularity ratings.
Romney looks like too much of a slickster to me. And he's a mormon. He doesn't have a prayer.
McCain is hated by Republicans and will never get the nomination.
Fred Thompson could get the Republican nomination but he's a bit of a hard sell to non-republicans.
Gulliani seems like the best bet because he looks good on security but moderate on social issues. Not enough for either side to really hate.
Arnold. Arnold is a moderate and loved by all. We need to change the constitution so he can become our new Fuhrer. You know you want him. |

Then why do polls consistantly show him in the lead for the nomination?
People keep saying this on here, and yet polls give him the lead one after the other.` |

| The religious right would even vote conservative Democrat before the would vote pro abortion, or for gun control, Bush managed to get them out of the churches and rounding up voters. If they dont't do this, the Republicans can kiss the election good-bye and they know it. |

My projection:
I don't think she will make the strongest candidate, but I suspect Senator Clinton will be nominated. I don't believe she will select Obama as her running mate. I think she'll appoint him to some Cabinet position, or ambassadorship to help groom him for the future. Richardson is friendly with the Clintons and comes from a Western State and could help pry some of the Rocky Mountain West out of Republican hands. He's also Hispanic, and that would also be useful in California and Florida.
Guiliani is leading in the Republican polls. Thompson might over-take him. So could Romney. I think it depends on organizational effectiveness and random gaffes. I'll project Thompson because I don't think Republicans are willing to nominate an ethnic Italian or a Mormon. There aren't enough progressives left in the party to do that. Running mate? Some governor from a key state with a lot of electoral votes. I'd say Baby Bush from Florida. Ron Paul and his 12 delegates at the Convention will stomp out in a huff and drink the Kool-Ade.
Winner:
The Dems. During the campaign phase, the election will look close, but on Election Day, Republicans, who will be slightly behind, will stay home in droves. The Dems will win big in the Electoral College and the real 21st Century will begin. January 21, '09 will be the date of the New Millennium. |

| Clinton's slipping and Obama's gaining, but it's still early. I'm still holding to my original prediction. I don't think her recent "emotional" moment is going to be quite the death knell that some would have us believe. |

I don't think so either, the woman is headed for a major breakdown.
Funny that people thought RG would still be strong at this stage, but his "campaign strategy" has not proved to be very smart. |

I mean this in the most neutral way
Gullani and McCain play for the same voters. When one is up the other is down. Should one drop out the other would get 90% of the other's voters.
And for that matter there is not much difference between Gullani , Romney , Thomson or McCain. that is why the vote is divided up among them.
Like them or not it is an accurate description. |

Your predictions won't hold up.
Obama is likely to beat out Hillary unless she can convince liberal Blacks and Hispanics to vote for her in the South and Southwest.
Thompson will be lucky to last until SuperTuesday. He's a major no-show from the get-go and none too bright.
Giuliani is close to having the same chance as his fellow big ego New Yorker Bloomberg.
Romney has more fire in the belly than either of them.
The Republican nominee will either be McCain or Huckabee, hopefully the former. |

They are the same for neo-cons.
Most voters are going to be looking at a lot of other issues though, making them drastically different. |

Who Gullani and McCain?
Probably they are the same for both neo cons and neo liberals . |
