Right now I'm wondering about who'll make the best candidate.

Hmmm... Obama, perhaps? He's definitely likeable enough(in my opinion), and I think the democrats need someone who can clearly define what their party stands for.

I also really like John Edwards, and would love for him to at least try for the candidacy, but that isn't likely to happen. (Did anyone see him on the Daily Show? Did he mention that at all?)

Hillary... No comment.

On the republican side, if I had to vote for one it would be Rudy Giuliani, as he seems progressive enough socially and moderate enough for everything else. He could very well make a damn fine president--but he doesn't have a chance in hell.

McCain... I used to respect him a good deal, but the whole torture compromise undermined all that in an instant. Totally untrustworthy, in my opinion.

Now please allow me to ask a question(s) of my own. Why the hell are we talking about this two years before the election? I mean, the Dems are taking congress in January, but all I see when I watch the news is endless speculation about '08, and the occasional story on Iraq. What ever happened to health care and social security? The No Child Left a Dime Act is set to expire soon, is it not?

My apologies if I'm ranting(which I most certainly am), but I can only handle so much before I snap . This thread seemed an appropriate venting place.
