Who Would You Like To See Win In 2008

I can't tell you a specific person, but I sure would like to see America elect a President based on his intelligence rather than his "likeability". Hopefully, George W. has proven that just because you could imagine enjoying spending the evening with a guy does not make him good Presidential material. As far as Obama and Hillary go, I don't think an ethnic minority or a woman can get elected unless that person is a republican.

Not sure they would need to be a Republican, but they would need to have executive experience. That is be elected Governor of a State and preferably re-elected once or twice. Obama might work his way toward that, he's young. Hillary is too polarizing to pull that off even in NY and she doesn't have the time.
And yeah I know GW was a Gov and look how that worked out, Still it's usually either Govs or VPs that get the nod in this country and ain't nobody electing Chenney (his daughter's gay ya know)
