That's like choosing if you want to eat hard turds or wet shit.

Anyone but those two for sure.

well who would be better?

As I've said earlier, I don't like politics nor politicians, and when I go out to vote its for whichever person has the best shot besides Obama and Hillary and is more economically liberal and conservative views in other areas. However, Flash just gave me a youtube video, and I've just finished watching a few, and I gotta say, I will now probably vote for Mike Huckabee.

Yes? I don't like them, but I know a lot about them. Is there something wrong? Perhaps the reason I don't like politics and politicians is because I know a lot about them, and don't like them and their corrupt ways?

Um, he could run right now if he chose? It's 2 consecutive terms, then you have to leave office (no 3 terms in a row), but after you could come back if you so desired.

Im not a racist here, but lets face the facts of the society we live in today. Some of you maybe be a little to young to understand this, and some may think I'm crazy. But my professors talk about this to the class all the time. America isn't ready for a Black President just yet. While it may seem far fetched its true. Here in East Lansing we still have people that drop N- Bombs without thinking twice and its still like that in many many places here in the US. While Obama is a great Candidate and will likely garner my vote, I am just saying that the country isn't ready. If Obama does win it will be because of the fact that the African American community actually came out and voted, which they are notoriously known not to do. They have the lowest turn out rated in voting for cultures dating back to the 1960's when Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were running for President, and even then the Black Community failed to voted for their most strongest figures at the time.

Just some thought and I can post more if needed, but once again Im not racist.

I agree with you.

I also feel, along with several of my friends who are more interested in politics, that there will be a female president before a black one (But not Clinton this time around).

I'm glad someone else brought this up, cuz i didn't want to be the one to do it.. I'm definitely not racist. But i ABSOLUTELY agree. I think we're a long ways away from a black president. I think eventually our nation/society will finally change enough for there to be one. But I do think a woman will be allected before a black individual. Sadly, it's just how our society is. Could that woman be Hillary? Like it or not, it very well could be. I think she's the only woman that has run or considered running that even has a remote chance and her chances are much better than remote.

The reason i say a republican won't be elected this time around, is because of George Bush, it has nothing to do withthem, it has everything to do with Bush. I think we'll witness many voters turn their backs on the Republican party for this election. No matter what happens, this election is all about change.

Actually there's a "clause" i believe, one of the 6 million clauses. That state "during war times, a change in presidency can be halted"

Bush tried to use it prior to the last election. It failed. I don't know exactly how it's stated or what the confines of that clause are. But he can't "run again" however if the congress felt it necessary could prevent an election from occurring to allow him a 3rd term

FDR did it, he was president for 12 straight years, was actually scheduled to be in office for 16 years, but he died in the first year of his 4th term
