So for 2008 who?
OK, so let’s fantasize about 2008.
What two people would you like to have to chose between for to be president in 2008? Not the lesser of two evils, but two people you would like to see in office, and have to make up your mind between. It has to be one from each party, they do not have to be running for the office, but they must be enough of a national figure for everybody to have heard of them. List choices and the reason, and you MUST pick one for each party.
My choices:
Rep: Colin Powell. His rep sank under dubya, but he signed up to do a job, he found he could not influence the administration, he completed his term, and he resigned. I like his integrity and thought process. Plus, he does not want the job, which is a real plus in my view.
Dem: Bill Richardson. Vast diplomatic experience, has supported broad tax cuts while governor of New Mexico, and in general has run the state pretty well. He seems to balance conflicting interests well.
Your choices?
Folks, I need one from each party if you want 10 points. The idea is to think about it, not to push your one favorite candidate.

RUDY GIULIANI. He showed honor and courage seldom seen these days.He is an independant minded republican with no ties to the fanatical right religious zealots.He has a unique persective on the importance of winning the war on terror.He seems to be a genuinely good,honest person. BARACK OBAMA. A fresh face with some new ideas who does not seem to be aligned with the liberal left zealots.He too seems like a genuinely good,honest person.
Source(s): I chose these two because they are not part of the political mainstream per se like Hillary or McCain.We do not need another Clinton,nor do we need another Bush. - Anonymous1 decade ago
Unfortunately, Powell would never win due to the fact he isn't white. He would be assasinated by some lunatic. I'd vote for Guliani myself. As far as democrats go, they're screwed. Personally I dispise their beliefs in socialism. I'm sick of paying taxes to help people on welfare, and other "social" programs. Social Security is joke as well. :-)

Hillary C. and Nancy Pelosi. I would really like to see what those 2 could do. Men have been at it long enough and they really tend to screw things up, I think its the macho thing, which we seem to be afflicted with..
Just think, Hillary will have the advice of Bill to help, but she's no mental slouch herself. And Nancy the family lady and serious politician with 2 years as speaker under her belt
I like it, they will whip those litte boys in the congress into shape.
what a team that would be.
