Personally, I'm in the Paul-Hagel-Brownback camp, but those three don't have to much of a chance. Guiliani I think has the best (if not the only) chance for the Republican party, if he can overcome concerns that he is socially liberal. He's polled very well, and his record in New York is great. McCain and Romney's support for the "surge" in Iraq will greatly hinder any chance at victory in a general election if this past election is any indication. However, Guliani's reputation might overcome that. Still, I'm afraid it will be an uphill battle, although the Democrats don't offer anything. Clinton won't get any support from the disgruntled conservatives. John Edwards, however, scares me. His views smack of socialism, but the man does seem to have some sort of charisma, although I wasn't impressed in 2004. Out of the three, Obama is the least of two evils. I think he'd be ineffective- too inexperienced and popular to risk making any radical decisions. But I'd sooner take ineffective leadership over detrimental leadership.Scott E.

As a Pittsburgher it would be neat to see Vilsack do well, and then lose to Rudy, McCain, Romney, or Huckabee in the general!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173731993363984859noreply@blogger.com
