    Clinton. She has the inside connections, the political capital and most important, her husband.

    I hope neither make it. However, I contend that if they were smart and really cared about their party, they would meet and work out a deal and work together as a President/Vice President team. As a team, they would take the Whitehouse.

    You are probably spot on with that, but sometimes as we all know politicians collectively, are on many occasions not as smart as they are individually ;)

    I don't think that they will team up for P/VP....
    Politicians think only about themselves...

    I don't think either of them should be President. Not knowing how either of them stand on very many issues other than that of the issue of Iraq and judging them on that criteria alone, they both don't deserve the Presidency. Hilary Clinton has flip-flopped so many times on where she stands on her vote of the war in Iraq. At times she's proud that she voted for the war, other times she says that the war is wrong. In addition, her statement about the Confederate Flag in SC was totally stupid too. "We should unite under one flag during wartime," but she is the one who is going to take the money away from the troops and prevent the current President from sending any more troops to help over there? How is that uniting? Obama shouldn't be President either just for the very fact that he wants to set a timeline on when US troops should leave Iraq. Why doesn't he just give the Middle East weapons and explosives and tell them to go at it, which is essentially what his plan would do anyway.

    Thats just my 2cents on the issue anyway.

    Awesome!!! As a SC resident, I am glad to hear that from someone else....watch out for AGS and GWorld, if they know how you feel, they will automatically label you as a neo-con...

    whoever can run to the left the most! the base votes in the candidate. i think geffen's comments the other day may be a wake up call to whoever thinks the clintons had it locked up.

    true, but I think that is just the start...clinton is a very jealous woman, and osamabama is stealing her support and cash...this thing could really blow up in their faces.

    Clinton, although I prefer Obama on the sheer basis that he's black and if I vote for him no one will accuse me of being racist.

    That statement right there screams "im racist"...



    I think Clinton will win only because of her husband and money. I would really like to see Obama win, I have never liked Hilary at all.

    I think Clinton will take the Presidency and do all of the things she couldn't talk Bill into doing, just for the fun of it. Kind of a ha ha look at me now.

    Are there more women in America than men? I think women in general will vote for her regardless of their preference to a party. Don't you?

    I doubt women will vote for her unless they are socialist leaning liberals like herself....shrillary is not much a supporter of women, and she acts more like a man. I think most women are more afraid of her than like her...

    Thats whats wrong with american (mostly liberal) voters...they don't vote on the issue, they vote on their feelings...then when they don't like what they see, they complain. Vote for who will do the best for the country, not whos skin is darker, who is male, who is female, who speaks spanish, etc. Vote on the issues.

    Well, I personally might be drawn to the republican party just to vote against Hillary if she got in as the Democratic candidate.

    What a crap reply mate.

    If you paid any attention you would realise that I am neither for nor against either party as they are both two cheeks of the same arse.
    I am not against either, I am against your current lying corrupt administration.

    I will not be taking sides in the upcoming election in 2k8 but when Hillary gets in (it's already been decided by the people that control puppets like Bush) then I will be ribbing you and GTech for a very long time. :p

    Technically, any 'vote' we make is meaningless other than we are telling the electors, elected as chosen by our individual states, usually elected by our state legislature, who we would prefer to win. They can cast their votes as they choose. Many states hold electors to an oath to vote as the population desires, but if they break that oath, their vote still counts.

    So technically... none of us ever vote for the president.

    Come on, if Obama is the presidential candidate, do you seriously think the Democrats will have a chance? The Republicans will win by landslide and take the House, Senate and everything else up for grabs.
