If it's anybody except Giuliani running up against Hillary in the general election, she's a shoe-in, IMO.

You clearly under-estimate the anti Hillary sentiment in the country.

No I don't. Do you know that in '92, Bill won with 46 % percent of the vote? In a two-way, all she needs is the majority of the vote and if she has a good chance of getting that, considering her possible opponents.

Isn't that the year Perot was in there and split the rep vote? That is how he won with 46%. Without Perot running Clinton would just be an unknown governor of AR. Lets pray for Bloomburg to get into the race to save us from another Clinton dynasty.

Bloomberg will siphon off votes from both sides of the aisle. He is a very attractive candidate.

We got ourselves into a vicious cycle. It started when Bill Clinton got caught lying under oath and the congress rightfully impeached him. It does not matter what he was lying about but the fact that he raised his hand and swore to tell the truth gave them the legal am moral right to do that. Then GWB and Gore had that very close race that was decided by hanging chads and the Supreme Court. The dems wanted payback and have been gunning for Bush ever since. Now if Clinton gets back into the WH it will be the reps turn for payback. It's a sad state of affairs and the only way to break that cycle is to elect anyone but Clinton. Even Oboma can break that cycle. For the good of the country Clinton should just bow out. She will divide us even further and will not be able to function as an effective president.

Actually, the Republicans have been wanting to even the score since Nixon's resignation. It is sad. The American have had enough. If the Hillary is President and the some rich and powerful people try to impeach her, I hope that it will backfire on them, especially if it is over nothing made into something.

I know how the electoral system works. You just gotta understand that most of the country ain't like Cali. Spend some time in the SE or MW and you'd understand what I mean. Folks around these parts will go absolutely nuts when faced with the prospect of Bill and Hill back at 1600 Penn Ave. They'll mobilize like no other. Watch them.

As for alternatives, McCain would look mightily attractive against Hillary. I know he would to me.

He is further left than any of the dems. Once the public understands that there will be very few rep voters going for him. Bloomburg is very bad news for the dems.

I believe he's been saying he isn't a candidate. Not that he isn't running. Word games. My colleague who is a GOP bigshot in a town in this area tells me the whispers are that Bloomberg will run if Hillary becomes the nominee. We'll see.

I'd have to really look over his positions and voting record on issues. McCain has lost a lot of credibility when he positioned himself to be a cheerleader for Bush. I liked him better as the maverick...not afraid to call a spade a spade. The last few years, he's been acting like a lap dog. Lap dogs don't make good presidents.

McCain is a politician and has faults like all of them do. Bush's lap dog he is not. Nor has he ever been. He's a guy that I can respect for what he's done for the country and for being himself even if that isn't popular. He's worked across the isle time and again over the years even if much of the GOP base didn't like it much. That's what I like about him and I think he's the best candidate the Republicans have out there. Who would have thought that he'd win in SC? Hell, a few weeks ago, I thought he doesn't have a first chance to get the nomination. If there's a comeback kid this year, it's him.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

What I like most about McCain is that he's never been apologetic about standing up to the rabid bible-thumpers within the GOP. They are a virus within the party and his victory in SC shows that a GOP primary can be won without them, even in a state where they are thought to be quite powerful. He is a fiscal conservative, a hawk on spending and resists the urge to demonize illegal immigrants. All qualities I admire very much.

oh right, someone should tell those clowns that tried to make an issue of gwb's military service........

I'm talking about taking Hillary out of office via impeachment or some other legal means (if there is one), just waiting to pounce on any presidential act that she might do that could be made into an impeachable offense because of their hate for her.

(Read above...I said of course people will say what they want about her...that's not what I'm referring to)

As you said Steven, she's a very smart woman, she won't do anything to screw it up. She also has plenty of high powered friends.

A series of SurveyUSA polls to measure the awareness of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and possible support for a third-party run for president find he's got an uphill battle ahead of him if he runs.

Across the country, one in four voters have never heard of Bloomberg and just 11% have a favorable impression of him. In an election for president today, if Bloomberg is on the ballot, he receives at most 13% of the vote. He also consistently finishes third of three candidates.

Even in the five boroughs of New York City, where Bloomberg is best known by voters know him best, he does not finish above 28% no matter who his Democratic or Republican opponents would be.

It's not a question as to whether he can win in an independent run, that is a given no. The question is whether he would be a spoiler for the dems if he ran. With the last few elections being decided by the slimmest of margins even a few % of dem votes won by Bloomberg would make a difference. IMO he would make the all important difference if he ran.

Chuck Norris brought his tough-guy approach to the campaign trail Sunday, taking aim at John McCain's age and suggesting the Arizona senator might not last even a single term.

Norris, an ardent supporter of Mike Huckabee, told reporters he believes serving as president accelerates the aging process 3-to-1.

"If John takes over the presidency at 72 and he ages 3-to-1, how old will he be in four years? Eighty-four years old — and can he handle that kind of pressure in that job?" Norris said, as Huckabee looked on.

Are you talking about the 2004 election?

Dems are turning out in record numbers to vote now, I have very little faith a Rep will win in November - he!!, there is no Rep frontrunner! Americans are speaking & the Republican days are numbered.
