Someone who knows who all the candidates are (I don't at this point)
start a thread on each, nameing them as candidates for presidential? I
do not care what party someone belongs to just who they are and what
theyre primary belief is. That would help me in researching the
candidates, so I can get an idea of who I am in favor of (probably help
a lot of others too).

Thank you.

good idea dan.

The next election is almost two years away. Relax.

Normally I would agree with that long a time frame, bro but I want to
take a slong as possible to get to know the candidates as well as I can.
After all, collectively we are probably looking over almost a thousand
years of information, right?

Hillary Clinton for one, and Osama Bin Laden? or was his name Obama
something or another? Then, I think I heard that George Bush was running
again, but maybe that was at the bar a few hours ago. Bill Clinton is
running for governor of Arkansas or did he already do that? I forget.

here we go. If interested here is a website that shows all the current
runners for the 2008 presidential election in the United States

ex-Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR),

Ive listened to this guy once, I'm interested to hear more. Who is from
Arkansas here?

Thanks for the link Daniel. Getting so you can't tell the players
without a scorecard. I read something in the paper today that Al Gore
is the front runner for the democrats although he insists he is not a
candidate. The next year and a half or so is going to be like getting
pecked to death by chickens. I think all political campaigns should be
limited to 2 weeks and a maximum expenditure of $200. Regardless of
party anybody that spends more to get elected to office than what the
office pays is a crook.

The biggest thing I would like to see is when all is said and done we
have the two candidates in first and second right? The first one is
obviuosly the president. The second place should be vice president. I
mean hey! We decided they were the two best foir the job, why no tput
them both in office? By doing this you would be having Both major
parties served, and less chance of president or vice causing trouble,
cause the other one is there with him (or her)

I'll run.

oh god help us all!!!! Where did ole billie go?

LOL j/k pal...

I believe that that is exactly what was don for the first ten or so
Presidents, and one of the most successful Presidents (Lincoln) actually
appointed his political enemies to his cabinet, not so that he could
keep his eye on them, but because he would receive honest (somtimes
brutally so) opinions on his policies and ideas.
