I like Obama but don't feel he is ready for the presidency. He is a rather charming fellow but needs some seasoning. I like him considerably much better than Hillary and was pleasantly surprised to hear him win Iowa.
Kucinich needs some help. I like him but he is way to weak. The Dems just don't have any strong candidates outside of Hillary and that's not that great either. Now's VP, there's an interesting thought.
I hope there will be some good third party candidates that take at least 5% of the vote. Nader is a high profile third party candidate (at least he used to be) but he lost a lot of credibility in my eyes.
I hope Ron Paul runs as a 3rd party candidate too. That would be awesome.
That would give us 2 high profile 3rd party candidates to make things interesting.
Toss in Bloomberg, Forbes (maybe?), and how about Ross Perot (for ol' times sake) and things will really be interesting.
Elph, I disagree that 3rd party candidates will hand the election to the Republicans. I think it would depend on the 3rd party candidates and the Republican runner.
I don't share 100% views with Ron Paul but I like him alot cause he is at least real.
