Yes, but that is a very...*thinks of nice word* poor point of view. You can disagree with him, just the way you say it sounds rather uncouth.

The only republican i would support would be Senator McCain. He would win if he ran. He has many supportters in both parties.

That poll is missing Newt Gingrich as I heard today he just might run for President.
I think Senator Clinton would make a great President. She has a lot of class, attitude, and toughness.

REALLY?! If McCain runs in '08, I'll vote third party, for someone who leans hard right, I swear it. I'm diehard conservative, and I would NOT vote for that man. I'd vote for Guiliani if I had to, but I would be grumbling all the way to the polls. No, the Republicans need a real Republican, not some liberal-ish-conservative-by-label phony. Newt would be cool. Newt's great. Or Frist. Or Savage! 
Hilary has no class, as far as I see. I rank her down about as low as Barbara Boxer, and that's pretty bad. But, if the dems want to put up another hard-left crazy person, they're welcome to it...

Hillary might not be the best candidate, but neither is Guliani. He'll lose the Religious votes because of his little affair when he was the Mayor, He might get sympathy votes from those who remember him as Mayor, but those are few and far in between.
Hillary would be the first FEMALE president. This means she'd have backing from most women and Feminist groups, She'd get many religious votes for keeping her marriage with Bill together during the Lewinsky scandal, And most of the US knows she's a strong and smart woman.

Dude? Do you really think Religious people would vote for her for that? NOPE. If anything they will focus on Bill cheating. She'll lost votes for that. She comes across as too...b****y. Sorry. But I would love a female president. Something new and needed. Just not her.

I'm guessing You don't know Roman Catholicism to well, Or many others.
What are they going to focus on more?
The ex-Mayor who Cheated on and divorced his wife breaking the sanctity of marriage
OR
The strong Female ex First lady who kept her Marriage together dispite what her husband did?
As a Roman Catholic, the choice is seeming rather obvious.
Also, seeing as how Bill would NOT be running the country, people wouldn't focus on him so much.

Newt's too old. I wish he would though.
I'm still waiting for the Condi Rice ticket to surface. Dick Morris has been long speculating her to run. McCain and Guiliani might as well be Democrats, Jeb would be allright, but there are better choices.
As a strong Republican, I would seriously debate whom I would vote for, if it were to be between Guiliani or McCain and Lieberman or Reid.

John McCain would win easily over any other opponents. He is VERY well liked. He probably wont run though, which is a shame.

Nah, I don't think he would easily win. He wouldn't even win the primaries. However, Guiliani could beat him. So could Gingrich...which leads me to my next point.
Newt Gingrich (Speaker of the House during the Republican Congress of the 1990s) MANY VERY WELL RUN (although like Hilary, he won't admit it, but they're both doing things to allow that to happen) and if he does, I'd support him. Perhaps even over Guiliani.

I am really hoping Evan Bayh runs and wins. Cinton? No. Disgrace to the democratic party. I could live with the rest of the democrats and mabey Giuliani. McCain I don't like that much. The rest of the democrats I could live with and the rest of the republicans I don't want in office.
But then again it's to early to call. We do have a few years before the election. Who knows what will happen between now and then.
