Even Bill Clinton was ranked 11 prior to the democratic primaries if 92. So if things trend the same, you can count on Hillary, Obama, and even Rudy to not even be contenders a year from now. As for Rudy, despite his moderate support on social issues, I really.can't.stand.the.man. His "resolve" and all that crap, is just that.. crap. Living in NY, although not necessarily NYC, people up here just "know him better". Another year in the public eye, he doesn't have a chance (theres even a story about him this morning and how he continued to support Kerik, despite knowing his ties to the mob) Anyway.. someone in comments talked about NY and how Hillary got 67% of the vote here. Indeed.. she has been INCREDIBLE working for the state of NY as our senator. Things you don't necessarily hear about in the national press. Do I want her as a president? Not really. I support her as a senator.. I just don't like her war stance. Though I'd be inclined to support her just to have Bill in the back seat helping drive foreign policy. But outside of Obama and Hillary, I don't have a candidate that I support yet... its FAR TOO EARLY to make a choice. No matter who it is, I will support my party's nominee, plain and simple. As I suspect you will Cass. Even for as much as I admire Chuck Hagel, if he runs, and gets the GOP nomination, I refuse to vote for anyone other than the democratic nominee. As for McCain, he is senile and constantly changing his story. His remarks of a few days ago that you can walk through the streets of Baghdad are absolutely insane. If one insists on a veteran, I suggest support be thrown towards Wesley Clark in convincing him to throw his hat in the ring. No matter who the nominees are, or who the winner is, they have a real fine mess to clean up. Bush has undoubtedly been the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. This is exactly what happens when you let a failed CEO in the doors of the white house with a serial criminal at his side (Karl Rove) And Bush's mess is exactly why EVERYONE is so anxious to start the next election cycle. Just get this "era" over with, ASAP. And move on to fixing things. The republican agenda has certainly proved that its not good for America.

He's reachable and his wife Janet is super involved with issues such as homelessness here. If he gets far enough, I'll be voting for him!

If I am not mistaken, he belongs to the UCC denomination. I remember reading an article about him in the UCC newspaper. The UCC is a very liberal denomination. Yes, he is a Christian.

Now, I'll admit I don't know who her opponent is or how NY usually votes but I think she's got a chance and is more qualified than Obama or Giuliani. I still want McCain though. We're in a war and need a veteran for a president. We're at 15 years now since the last one we had She did get 67% of the vote in her last election.

Do you really think that he wouldn't be assassinated as he is about to accept the presidency? I am not wishing for death, but this is the world in which we live. If Hillary gets in we are all doomed. If a republican gets in we are doomed...so pretty much screwed if we do and screwed if we don't. He would be a good president if he would survive his presidency for longer than 5 minutes.

The man ran for Congress as a stepping stone to the Presidency and then can't even finish out his first term before running. Nope, not my kind of man. *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP*
