I would love a Clinton/Edwards ticket. But it looks like Edwards wouldnt want the VP position. I like Edwards but I dont think he has a chance to win for President.

Mulder, I am sincerely sorry that I offened you. However, please keep in mind that I am upset that you automatically assumed that I was a Bush-loving neo-con. Note that while I am a conservative Republican, I am not a neo-con, and I feel that Bush has been a major disappointment as president. The Iraq War (which I initially supported, because I believed Bush when he said that there were WMD) has been a major disaster, and has damaged the Republican Party to the point that it will take many years to recover. And, of course, I believe that Bush and Cheney are very egotistical.

Mulder, I also want to say that Evan Bayh as the Democratic VP nominee is an interesting choice. He is definately a solid moderate who will not overshadow Clinton in any way. However, I do not believe he will get chosen because Indiana is a heavily Republican state, and his being on the ticket will not be enough to make the state vote Democratic in the general election. (For instance, North Carolina is also a heavily Republican state, and Bush still easily won that state in 2004 despite John Edwards' presence on the ticket.)

And I apologize for my hot-headed response. I'm sorry. And I shouldn't have called you a neo-con without seeing more of your posts on the matter. You're response proves you are not a neo-con. I again apologize, so sorry man.

If Hilary is smart, she'll pick Joe Biden as her running mate. Obama is 100% out of the question because he will overshadow her, in addition to the attacks. Edwards said he won't accept VP, not that anyone would offer it to him.

I would love Joe Biden as VP. He's actually one of my faves running.

Mulder, there is no need for this. Once again, if you disagree with someone, fine.

The stuff you are saying here is vey disrespectful.

Let's keep this civil, like everyone else is pretty much doing.

Sorry Roman. This is why I don't talk politics much in person. I'm too hot-headed about my Democratic beliefs.

I apologize again to Max, Roman and anyone else that I've offended in this topic.

Mulder, that was HUGE of you to do that.

No problems, my man.

Thank you guys for mentioning that the "change" that I myself has seen in John Edwards. He's comes across as just plain mad and desperate these days.

Here's my guesses:

Democrat: Clinton as President. Obama as her running mate.

Republican: It's a toss up between Huckabee and Guiliani(sp). I'm a moderate (more liberal), but the only Republican who remotely interests me is Ron Paul. The rest are all just wealthy rich white old men who are trying their hardest to impersonate Ronald Reagan.

Does anyone eles think the so-called issues, possible scandals within the Dems, supposedly fostered by other Dems, are really Republican tricks?

Wouldn't put it past them.

Michael, I respect your opinions. But, I just don't think this country will vote for a woman and a black man on the same ticket.

I can see why you'd think that.

What would have to happen is that the 18-30 age group would have to come out en mass and vote for them. Also, the Vietnam generation still hasn't quite taken over. We still have either the Good Ole Boys or the racists who will just block that.

I just don't see that happening. In this country, a woman sitting in the big chair is something I thought I would never see. Let's do that one first, and then move on to the next one later.

Good point, Roman. I was born in the US and hold dual citzenship, so I try to follow US politics as much as I can. But even in liberal Canada, we have not yet "elected" a woman into the prime minister's office.

And it's a shame, TC, that Great Britain and Europe has dealt with the crap we are still holding ourselves back on.

It is a terrible shame, but if we compare to Western Europe(excluding England), at least the US and Canada have a better record of electing people of African heritage on most other legislative levels. There is hope, but as you say, it's unrealistic to expect it all at once.
