If you could pick anyone to run for president this year, who would it be? Basically who would you like to see be the president.
I like Jesse Ventura. He tells it like it is, has some goods ideas and can't be bought by special interests.
Yes, and Mr. Ventura would be an intellectual step up from the incumbent, rather in the same manner that one assumes a rat to be somewhat smarter than a mere toad.
Please, apart from wanting someone with some vestige of integrity, it would be nice to think that one could rely upon some competence as well.
Russ Feingold.
Although Kerry is genuinely growing on me more and more.

He's also been known to adjust his position when presented with facts -- a very useful trait in my book.

Desenex makes a product for problems like that.

So make a choice and give us your competent candidate.
I would prefer to see John McCain in the office, but he's not the darling of the neo-cons, nor of the religious freaks, so it's just no going to happen.
I like him too, and actually voted for him in the Republican primary (you can do that in Virginia without being a Republican) in the hopes that there would be a candidate on the ballot I could actually vote for.
Does it need to be an American or can we be free-wheelin' on the rules, considering its a hypothetical question an all?
If not my answer is somewhere
in here ...
Cuomo would be just fine.
Bernie Sanders from Vermont perhaps
Joe Biden, the Senator from Delaware. He is intelligent, thoughtful and would, in my opinion, make one heck of a good president.
Besides, he's really, really good looking.
How about no one for an answer. I think we should find a different way to manage everything rather then putting all of our lives in the hands of one person who calles him/herself president.
The President is really not much more than a figurehead. If anyone thinks George Bush is really the person running this country, they need to give it some further thought. The president is representative of the country as a whole. That's why the person who is president, should be someone who can get along well with others and who has good communication skills and can make decisions and think under pressure.
