Who do you favor more as a presidential candidate: Rudolph Guiliani, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, John Kerry, John Edwards, Michael Bloomberg, Joseph Lieberman, Chuck Hagel?

None of the above.



Feingold in '08

None of the above.

I want Jesse Ventura. *nod*

None of the above. If I had to choose, probably Gore.

Although I voted in your poll for John McCain, I would much prefer Colin Powell, although that's a forlorn hope. Sigh. :(

I want Jesse Ventura. *nod*I bet Russ would let Jesse be his V-P. :D

I'm going for Nader. Fuck it. I'm doing what I want this time.

i need a joke option to vote for.

None of the above. George Allen, in case you're curious.

Dude, I don't think he can get much uglier... but try if you must.

Arnold Schwarzenegger? I know it's unconstitutional, but being a Brit I'd find that pretty hilarious.

As a Connecticut Yankee... I hate to point out that Joe may not even win his Senate seat this year due to the BS the dems have thrown on him. (I'll vote for him regardless).

Anyway, Joe knows he can never be Prez. Someone would shoot him just for being Jewish.

I still want Alan Keyes to win.

Otherwise Gore, becuase I really don't think he can beat ANY republican he goes up against.

Biden - D-MBNA (now BoA)

Ditto.

None of the above, though I voted for Guliani here. I want Mitt Romney to win.

none of the above

I want George Bush as president again because I like how he runs things. Not that it's great, but the material they give to The Daily Show and Colbert Report keeps me in stitches.

Of the ones mentioned, Al Gore. But right now, my guy is Russ Feingold.

Actually, I've heard a pretty convincing argument that it wouldn't be unconstitutional.

Although a certain clause within the Constitution serves to directly forbid naturalized citizens from becoming president, the Fourteenth Amendment supercedes that clause. By guaranteeing "equal protection under the law" to all citizens born and naturalized, this amendment overturns any previous constitutional clause that would have granted any special priviledge (such as exclusive right to the presidency) to citizens by birth.

So if Arny wanted to run, he probably could, after a lengthy court battle culminating in a decisive Supreme Court decision.

Feingold or I'm voting Green.

How does having "equal protection under the law" give an American citizen the right to run for president? Having "equal protection" does not mean that a naturalized American citizen can exert that power politically, or, especially since it was made for civil rights purposes more than political ones, in terms of naturalized citizens. If what you say is true, though, that means that I could run for president in the future.

Homer Simpson

I voted for John Edwards here, but in November I'm going to vote for the person I trust most. I'm going to write myself in. :D

Of the choices, Rudy.. but he'd be maybe my sixth choice.. :p

Feingold or I'm voting Green.

Hehe.. looks like you'll be voting Green.. ;)

Hehe.. looks like you'll be voting Green.. ;)

Yeah well... At this point all of the other Dems have managed to alienate me so much that they'd have to make one hell of an effort to convince me to vote for them. I suppose that someone coming outside of the bunch of sell-outs and wusses in DC would be a good choice too.

Seriously, None of the above.

I'm going to vote for as many third party as I can in 2006 and 2008. Libertarian would be my first choice, and then the rest.

None of the above. If I had to choose, probably Gore.
Ditto. He's the one most likely to actually give a half a shit about the environment (if nothing else, he can't come out with that movie and then reneg on his words).

Yes Gore does care ALOT about the enviorment, oh look he's getting into his private jet now. :rolleyes:

The same way that the Supreme Court can find the right to privacy in the constitution as the right to an abortion. It’s there if nine old judges say it’s there.:(

Oh. No.

*imitates The Governator*

"You all sissy-men countries will be TERMINATED. IIInnnnwwade France!"

No Sam Brownback?

I put McCain.

But if I really don't like anyone on the roster, I'm writing in jon stewart.
