2008: "I Accept Your Nomination . . ." (1 Viewer)

So, this has been done before, I'm sure. I'm a newbie. Sorry y'all. But, there's a twist to this poll. Who would be the political surprise of 2008 and be his or her party's nominee for President of the U.S.?

*BY THE WAY, CHOOSE ONE FROM EACH PARTY!!*

I only chose one. Gov. Warner. I see him as the next Bill Clinton, able to garner support from both sides and tackle tough issues without loosing much standing in the polls.

A real shocker would be Clinton and Gingrich as VP.

They have been running around together recently.

But, Richardson would be no "shocker" - he was advancing toward that last election but stayed in the background.

Richardson & Gingrich were my choices.

I went with Allen simply because I think he is going to be well known very quickly and is on top of things. However, I believe Newt would be the biggest upset, did not vote for him in the poll because he has not decided whether or not to run. I do believe though that if Newt runs, he wins.

You think Chairman Dean would out and out support him? Or do you suppose there would be an underground movement within the Democratic Party to find a 3rd-party candidate that the far-left of the party would support?

The far left gave tacit support to Clinton, and I think that if he could get through the primaries, they would lend that support to Warner.

here's an article I ran across today...I think it paints a pretty good possibility for 2008...an interesting one at that...

That is an interesting read.

The last paragraph defines the whole dream matchup scenario perfectly: If Bush is the nominee, the dems have no ground to tout a dynasty if Clinton is their choice.

And that columnist is right . . . Feinstein and Boxer have as much the same playing field as Clinton, only that their last names aren't Clinton. If Hillary's name was Smith, there would be no hype and hoopla over her running for President in '08.

I admit, I myself would like to see a continuation of a Bush administration in Jeb Bush, but I think he is very well aware 2008 is not the time for him...at least under the capacity as the top dog for the reps.
