it's probably still too early be talking about the next president
but, the first debate (democrats) is already tonight on MSNBC, so perhaps you would like to weigh in on the campaign so far
from a certain perspective, i am hesitant to think a democrat should be president. it would probably be good for a while, but it seems like one-party rule never works well ... something that has become very very evident in recent history.
that said, none of the republicans really appeal to me, except ron paul who is probably not going to get far. mccain has lost all of his mojo, romney seems like a too much of a panderer. i saw huckabee speak and he dedicated a lot of time to abortion and gay marriage -- issues which don't matter to me. when tancredo talks about anything besides immigration, his ideas sound borderline insane. guliani ... still haven't heard him talk.
as for the democrats, i like barack because he answers questions intelligently. i had negative feelings toward edwards before seeing him speak, but he might not be too bad either. i am not a hillary supporter, someone asked her about No Child Left Behind and she simply stated that had not forumlated her position yet. i'm not sure about the other democrats, biden likes to hear himself talk and kucinich probably won't break out of the margins.
just one more note ... i think the candidates unwillingness to attend FOX debates is riduculous. if they are afraid of a TV channel it makes me wonder if they even deserve my vote. liberal blogs are behind this dumb idea.
