Seeing as you have about a 50/50 chance of not having a rep/dem president, who would you like to see in office? I would love to hear reasons backing it up as well.

(sad part being is that most of the choices probably don't have a chance because they are too moderate i.e. mccain)

    It is so very tempting to say Ron Paul because of his stance on our involvement in foreign affairs, among other things, but ultimately I think he is truly too anti-government to be an effective national leader.

    Honestly, I wish Arnold was running. He almost seems to be the perfect Republican. I realize that is an oxymoron. ;)

    That Huckabee guy from Arkansas seems amiable enough. I'd have a beer with him. Isn't that how Bush won?

    Ron Paul, otherwise.

    Well I would like to see Ron Paul, but I know his chances are slim to none. If Paul doesn't make it past the primaries I would like to see Michael Bloomberg run. I would definitely throw my support behind him.

    Obama is a pretty smart guy. I like him the best out of all the Dems because he's consistent and different. Not a party whore.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    Party whore is a bad thing?

    This guy:

    Randolph W. "Randy" Crow (North Carolina)

    STATUS: ANNOUNCED CANDIDATE. Randy Crow -- a small businessman and former realtor -- was an unsuccessful candidate for the Wilmington City Council in 1997. Then he ran for Congress in the 1998 primary (losing by a vote of 94% to 6%) ... then he ran for President in the 2000 primaries (he got on the ballot in New Hampshire and Louisiana) ... then he ran another losing primary for Congress later in 2000 (losing by a 93% to 7% vote) .. then he lost for Council again ... then he finished last place (9th - 1%) in the 2002 US Senate primary ... and then he ran for President again in 2004. Crow was on the 2004 primary ballot in New Hampshire (15th place - 60 votes) and Texas (10th place - 0.8% - 6,319 votes). He withdrew from the Presidential race in March 2004 -- ran another race for County Commissioner -- then announced he will run for President again in 2008. In an email to Politics1 in 2000, Crow explained his motives: "I am involved in politics to get rid of filthy communists and lots of others." He also believes the FBI blew up TWA Flight 800 with a laser and was likely involved in crashing Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan's 2000 campaign plane. On his website, Crow repeatedly expresses open hatred towards Jews (Example: "Vietnam was a zioni$t manipulated War designed to kill our Christian kids and install na$i communi$t zioni$m in the Vietnam region"). Most of the contents of Crow's site, however, appear to be rambling conspiracy tirades against various envisioned enemies: "It has been 13 years since the FBI fessed up to the fact they were investigating me. All my files are classified ... In 1994 the Federal Force manipulated a bunch of mess which questioned my sanity ... I think the Force had some weird blood work done on me or possibly put a computer chip in me." Crow was upset that we quoted these various passages from his '04 site so he subsequently printed an amusing screed denouncing Politics1 as a "zioni$t" tool out to destroy him (he even attacked us for referring to him above as -- gasp -- a "former realtor" because, he notes, he only dabbled in real estate in the past). Oh, we forget to mention that Crow has a "hunch ... may be The Returning Christ ... I do believe firmly that in a way whether or not I am The Returning Christ is a non event and do not worry about it at all, except I do pray that if I am The Returning Christ I would like to be the coolest, greatest, most fantastic Returning Christ in the history of the Universes." By 2005, he pretty much answered his own question by releasing an Easter Message from the Returning Christ. Yup, you can read that and lots, LOTS more writings like this on his official website: Randy Crow - Democrat for President.
