Nope. I have to believe that there is a crop of decent presidential candidates that were born right here in this country. There are approximately 298,718,213 of us. What do you think the odds are?

Fine--let them do it. But in exchange, we get to change the amendment that says you can only serve 8 years--that way we can run Bill Clinton again in 2008!

But what if there's a better candidate who was born in a different country? Why should't someone like Teresa Heinz Kerry be able to run?

I think so. I mean the main reasoning behind the born in the US req. was so an Englishman (esp. King George) could not be Pres. I think we have moved past that

Schwartznegger/McVie 2008. Hmmm, that might be interesting. The terminator and... the bassist( ). And they're both non-Americans. Austrian and British. Too bad McVie has no experience at all.


Okay, back to the real world. I think Schwartznegger/McCain would be a damn good team. No more extremist for the Republicans please! I don't want Hillary to run because so many people hate her. I hope there's a dark horse in the Democratic party because Obama still needs experience.

McCain is rather extreme, but I agree that if we're forced to endure Republicans for longer than four more years, I'd like to have the most moderate. I nominate Olympia Snowe.

As for Obama, I don't like him one bit. I can't put my finger on it, but there's something about him that's incredibly phony and fake; his speech at the DNC turned me off big time, especially the Godspeak. He does nothing for me and I doubt he ever will. He would never get my vote for president.

Dollars to doughnuts, we're going to nominate a southerner. It wouldn't surprise me if it was Edwards. If anyone more conservative than Edwards is nominated, they won't get my vote. I'm sick of this ****.
