I know that I stole that title but I was thinking about the upcoming presidential election and wanted to know what people's opinions were.
Here are the people who have expressed interest:

Dems

  • Hillary Clinton
  • Wesley Clark - Michael's cousin
  • John Edwards
  • John Kerry
  • Evan Bayh

Republicans

  • Rudy Guiliani
  • John McCain
  • Newt Gingrich
  • Duncan Hunter


I am going to start this off by tossing in my early vote for McCain. I don't know why I have just always liked him. And he was a badass in the Vietnam war.

Hilary: won't win - she's a woman. too early still. plus she scares off all of the evengelicals who have won the last few elections.

Wesley - cool guy honest just not interesting enough.

John Edwards - creepy looks way to good to be 80 or whatever he is but i think he's got the best shot of the Dems

Obama (you forgot him even though he may not run) - excellent candidate but again won't win cause he's black : /

Kerry - HAAHAHAHHHAA

Bayh - who?

Guiliani - dangerous man. he's got everybody in the country looking to him like he's daddy after 911 and he doesn't have any major bad publicity but the fact is he's a ruthless politician who's been amazingly successful in one of the nastiest political shows on earth - NY city.

McCain - always seem honest and to have good ideas which creeps me out cause he's a politician and they are NEVER EVER honest and good ideas are usually self-serving ones in a 'good idea' costume.

Gingrich - won't win a single middle person over.

hunter - who?

I agree with you on Hillary.
Giuliani has been successful in NYC but he did cheat on his wife.

Keeping with my Libertarianism. They might a few candidates on the ballots in some states.

  • Steve Kubby - grows marijauna inhis home
  • George Phillies
  • Christine Smith - her website looks like I made it but I like her stance on some of the issues

On Christine's website she describes her interests:

When not working she enjoys a variety of activities and interests: aerobic and anaerobic (weightlifting) exercise hiking & backpacking chess astronomy target practice with her 40-caliber semi-automatic handgun avid reader...

This will make you laugh.
If you go on her personal website you can see her modeling portfolio. I especially like photo #12.

Yeah and btw her dad is fscking crazy. I believe that is a man we could approach for advice on The Project. Perhaps we could support her for president and use our powers unwisely? . . .

Damn looks like Kubby is crazy too. Don't the libertarians have anyone with a grasp on reality? Or can you even be both realistic and Libertarian? le sigh.

George Phillies - perhaps we should throw our support behind him. He is a physics professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

He also supports the end of the internet poker ban.

Back in the day I predicted Frist vs. Clinton. (A few shouts below the cheston comic). But today Frist is saying he isn't running and is going back to Tennesse and doing his doctor thing. I think he would've had a hard time getting out votes since he didn't get much accomplished as senate majority leader. Still the dude used to do his homework on stray cats when he was in med school. That gets my vote.

Edit: For some reason google ads wants us to know how to find registered sex offenders...
