Mitt Romney (and I say this having seen him in three losing campaigns in Massachusetts and one ineffective term as governor during which he repudiated every position he'd run on in that and the previous races):I don't support anything I told you yesterday, if that's something you don't like. Tell me what you believe--hey, isn't that amazing, I believe that too. I'll say ANYTHING to get elected.
Your description of Romany fits every candidate running for president both republican and democrat.

Clinton: I'm smart and able to be unabashedly moderate. I'll think things through before I act, and then kick ass, but nicely. Watchout!
Obama: I'm smart and progressive and bring hope. I'm confident where I lack experience. I can do it! Bet on me!
McCain: I'm brave and have backbone and experience leading, unlike the other candidates going back several presidential elections. The buck'll stop with me if I'm elected, whether or not you agree with my stances.
Thanks for playing, princesspupule! I would have found it very hard to summarize what exactly McCain's core message in this campaign is, so its interesting to see how someone else gets it.
nimh, good idea. I'll bite. But sorry, most took more than 30 words.
Hillary Clinton - I'm a staunch socialist or communist and I believe government can solve any problem if I am running it, but I can't tell anyone that now, except to say that I can solve problems. I will do anything to get elected, and then we'll talk about the rest later, so don't ask any tough questions about how I will do it now, and it highly irritates me if you try. And if you try, I will send my attack dogs on you. And by the way, I am not running because I am a woman, but old 95 year old women tell me constantly that they have only lived to see the day that I can be elected.
Barack Obama - I offer a new kind of politics, but lets not be too specific now about what it is. If my eyes glaze over, don't worry, I'm just caught in the headlights for a brief time, and I will recover in time to be chosen for vp.
John Edwards - I live in two Americas, and of course I am one of the rich ones because I sued the bejeebers out of the other rich ones that actually work for a living and can afford to pay me to live like them. So trust me, I understand all you poor slobs out there, so vote for me.
Bill Richardson - I am the only Democrat with any common sense, but darn it, nobody seems to care, but listen, I am the governor of the great state of New Mexico, and I ran alot of things in Washington when Bill had me serve, and I am very qualified to be president, even vice president or something else if they will let me.
Joe Biden - I like running for president because I have alot to say.
Christopher Dodd - My hair looks JFKish, and I am the unknown darkhorse in this race, and if only people would notice me, but my candidacy is very serious and I intend to run until I finally figure out I have no chance.
Dennis Kucinich - I am the real alternative to everybody running. I offer real change, but obviously you guys that say you want change must not really want it. And if anybody had a wife like mine, they would know that I could be the leader of the free world.
Mike Gravel - I am amazed that I can run, and I am amazed that I can be in a debate with the bigshots, and I know that when I point out the obvious way that things are right now, that everyone will wake up and elect me.
Rudy Guiliani - I will protect America because I was mayor of New York when it wasn't protected, and I can manage this country because I managed New York. And I will nominate judges that uphold what you believe even if I don't believe altogether what you believe or practice what they preach.
Fred Thompson - I can be a great president because I am an actor, just like Reagan was, and I have a deep voice that sounds presidential, and plus I've proven that I can play ball with the best of them in Washington for a long time now.
Mitt Romney - I can manage this country successfully, because I managed the Olympics, and I can be your man whether you are a conservative or a liberal, because I have been the governor of the great liberal state of Massachusetts, and they still like me there. Also, I comb my hair like Reagan and I always try to be optimistic like he was as well.
Mike Huckabee - I'm a good down home good guy that believes in America and Apple Pie, plus I am better at one liners than all of my opponents. I proved I could lose weight, and so can the country if you let me run it.
John McCain - Elect me because I've been around Washington a long time and know how things work, plus I can get along with Ted and the boys. I also support Republicans sometimes, and I have shown the ability to support Democrats too, even though I don't always know what they are up to. And I fixed campaign finance reform, never mind how it is doing now. And by the way, I was in Vietnam when the Clintons were at Woodstock.
Duncan Hunter - I am a tough congressman that knows about how the Army works and lots of other things that my opponents don't have much clue about, but nobody knows who I am, and apparently nobody cares.
Tom Tancredo - Illegal immigration is the biggest problem of all time, and I am here to tell everyone that, and I expect to have a say in the platform in regard to this once I quit the race.
Ron Paul - I think my fellow Republicans have all lost it, and even though Democrats kind of like me for a few reasons, I think they are full of it too, so elect me to return the country back to its roots of 1776. I know I don't have a ghost of a chance, but I still act like it because I really enjoy taking jabs at the big boys. And if you go back in the hills far enough, such as in the deserts of Arizona, you will see my campaign stickers on some of the old beat up pickups and cars parked by the trailers and other assorted homes, proving I am the true people's candidate.
If I missed anyone, my apologies.

What I said has nothing to do with me. I was merely offering a prediction based on what I have read about the American public. There was a poll showing that 50% of Americans will never vote for a woman just because she's a woman. It's 70% for any atheists who dare stand.
It wasn't as wild as your prediction that your generation will fix the problems mine has caused if, indeed, we have caused any. That's whistling in the dark.
Perhaps you might read a little more carefully.

Okie - I'm still baffled by the Hillary-the-communist meme.. cant wrap my head around it. You people have obviously never met a
real communist.
That said, I gotta hand it to ya - there were some good ones there!
I liked the Richardson and Biden ones, the Fred Thompson one too..
Parody wasnt the name of the thread of course, but you did give me some good chuckles.
