    Will it be a Dem or a Republican? Will it be Hillary, Edwards, Obama, Mitt or someone else?

    Barring some sort of absolute disaster, it will be a Democrat. As to Clinton, Edwards, or Obama ... it will most likely be one of the three, but it's too early to make any reliable prediction.

    In order of my preference, and without any implication of prediction:

    Edwards
    Richardson
    Kucinich
    Biden
    Dodd
    Obama
    Clinton​

    The sad thing is, that while I like Barack Obama, and while I greatly appreciate the idea that he's not yet entrenched in old-school politics, his weakness as a candidate seems to be a lack of campaigning wisdom. He's a little too much like an idealistically agressive puppy. There's months to go, though, and I've only recently started paying more attention. But his foreign-policy spat with Hillary and his performance at the AFL-CIO debate have done nothing to impress me. Obviously, if I trade out my personal choices for "electability", the list looks differently:

    Edwards
    Clinton
    Obama
    Biden
    Richardson
    Dodd
    Kucinich​

    Gravel is a non-entity, unfortunately. I don't mean to leave him off the list, but he's unelectable, and I admit I know next to nothing about him. What little I've seen of him does not impress me. He's just a bit too grumpy and self-righteous. Perhaps this is the wrong impression. There are months to go, and, theoretically, anything could happen.

    I agee with Edwards, I have some concerns about Richardson and Clinton. I think both Richardson and Clinton are pretty much bought and paid for. But probably any Democrat would be better than any Republcan...that said i have been a registerd Republican for 40 years. But have not voted Republican since the shrubs showed up.

    I have it in my mind that it was Richardson who asked the government to open Groom Lake, and demanded an investigation into Ufo sightings back when he was Governor of New Mexico. I could be wrong about that, though. People have been so focused on tearing down Edwards, though, I haven't even stopped to think about what might be wrong with Richards.

    My first choice is Giuliani. I think that Giuliani is the ONLY Republican who is electable: he's moderate on most social issues (like most of America) and strong on the issues that matter most to Americans. I'd like to see him run with Rice... though I don't think she'll run.

    NOW, if you are asking me who I think will win: Hillary Clinton. I think that there is JUST enough hatred for the Republicans (thanks to Bush-- it's pretty well earned) and that hatred will foment a platform of electability that will overcome the "gender" issue for most Americans. In an "ugh" sort of way... that fact makes me happy since I am somewhat favorable to living long enough to see the glass celing finally broken (better that it happens at my young age of 32 and not 72). The only Democrat I really like is Richardson, but after him, Hillary is preferable to the rest. She's got some nuts, and that is acceptable.

    Who would I like? Giuliani, for the reasons stated above by String.
    Who do I think will win? Hillary, which is unfortunate, because she's fucking nuts...

    This is a great question for me.

    Several years ago I predicted that Hilary Clinton would be the next President of the USA. I was laughed out of the place..she was univerally despised. Both Americans and Brits poured nothing but scorn on the idea.

    However, I still hold the records...I hope!!

    When Venus crossed the Sun I checked the chart with Hilary Clintons...she WILL be the next President.

    I think Hillary Clinton will be elected, but if it were my choice, I'd choose Mike Gravel. Tiassa, you should read about some of his ideas/watch his sections of the debates. He's got huge cojones for some things he says.

    Ah in the second part you got it right.

    For sure a Woman is going to become President...at the time of my prediction, the americns scoffed at the idea of a Woman being elected. They suggested maybe Condoleeza Rice..I checked both charts...Hilarys was far more positive.

    I think Mit Romney will be the next president because he looks the best and Americans are a bunch of idiots.
