Ron Paul

I suspect the race will be Obama vs. Romney. People are fed up with Washington, and neither of these guys are considered to be Washington insiders.

I sure hope you are right. I can live with either of those guys.

And as far as Guiliani being likable, why did he have a 92% approval rating on October 2nd of 2001?

Why the f*ck do you think? Because NY had been struck by a terrorist attack and he was the knight in shining armor.

For the last 6 goddamn years that's all he's been about, September of 2001.

I would hope so considering he hasn't been in office in 6 years.

Talk about an outburst.

Partial, I'm still trying to figure how you were going to get away with calling Obama a Muslim? Maybe you shouldn't read everything you get in your junk email.

Obama has been a Senator for 2 years and has spent the whole time campaigning to be president, not addressing issues.

Not really. He intended to finish his work in the senate and then run in 2012. However, with all the hype surrounding him, he made the smart deceision and ran now.

So the whole "He hasn't done jack, besides campaigning" shtick isn't really that accurate.

I refuse to address Tyrone since he is a troll and nothing more.

What has he done?!??!? How has he made Illinois a better place to live??!???!?

He hasn't done jack. He talks a good game. I can think of another guy who did that that ended up impeacher and didn't do a lot for our country.

He isn't going to win. And good riddance for that. We need another strong GOP candidate. Just not Bush and Cheney and the Haliburton fun that comes along with them.

I'm far from a troll.

You are just an idiot who makes ridiculous statements. That is why you don't respond. Backbone of the internet..refuted.

Better place: Um, sorry, the nature of the senate isn't about making your home state better..unless you are now complaining that he hasn't gotten enough pork.

Impeacher: um, are you referring to Nixon. That is the only president impeached. yea, it would suck to have another clinton in office..good employment, surging economy, not despised by the rest of the world, etc.

Tyrone, Nixon resigned, he was never impeached (although he most likely would have been). Clinton was impeached.

I don't read junk mail and have no idea if he is a muslim or not. I made the assumption based on his name. Barack Hussein Obama is very middle-eastern sounding.

[falco]

Giuliani will not win New York. People tend to forget how unpopular he was before 9/11. Try as he might, he won't be able to ride 9/11 to victory. If he somehow wins the Republication nomination (which he won't), the scrutiny will kill him. He's got more skeletons in the closet than Dahmer. I suspect the race will be Obama vs. Romney. People are fed up with Washington, and neither of these guys are considered to be Washington insiders.

Joe, I agree with you. If he does somehow get the nod, its going to be open season on his record. His role post-9/11 made a lot of people forget about his past.

Then maybe you should find out for sure before spouting. The name, along with its owner, are African.

Ziggy, maybe partial already knew that, and he just assumed all Africans are Muslims, like all Middle Easterns.

You and the other half of America.

That doesn't really make any sense at all. I am going to let you take a moment and think about that :P . Sounds like something my dad would use in an argument.




But really, who cares where he is from? He is still black and based on my limited life experiences and what I now of the 50 something age group he doesn't have an ice cubes chance in hell of winning.

He won two elections and went out on a high note. He'll win New York because he is relatively moderate and has the name recognition after the disaster. I would bet the farm on it.

Too bad you already lost the farm when you bet Obama was a Muslim.

Keep trying partial, you'll get there someday. In the meantime, maybe you should go back to arguing with Tyrone.

I said he was a black/muslim meaning I was unable to distinguish what he was without doing my homework. Never did I make any statement towards him being muslim. What the hell?

[BallHawk]

Why do so many people think they know who America is going to vote for? There's polls showing that people are willing to vote for Obama, but they think that the rest of America won't. It's in everybody's mind.

We don't live in the Jim Crow South anymore, Partial. Our country is not perfect on the issue of race, but America is ready to elect a black president. Without a doubt, they are ready to put an African-American in the White House.

And to those who say that Hillary is going to win because she is ahead in the polls, I have two words for them: Bradley Effect

Yeah ok. If America wants a dead president they'll put a black one in the white house.

You just don't get it. The 18-30 demographic is the one that doesn't show up to polls, where as the 40-death crowd does not take this for granted and makes their voice heard loud and clear. This is a good thing, though, because I don't think very many people in the younger age group are mature enough to make a proper decision rather than just going with whatever is popular with their friends and peers.

I don't think you can tell me that half the people you know over 60 are not racist (not even a little teenie bit) and be truthful and confident in making that statement.

I don't consider myself a racist person so I hope it isn't coming off as such. I am a realistic person, though.

It is still about 20-30 years away from happening. Hilary has 3x the chance as Obama.
