I'm betting that these two will be the two front runners in the 2008 election. I read somewhere that you have to amend the constitution to enable Arnie to run, i think the president has taken a liking to him and this may happen in the near future.

What are everyones thoughts about these two running? bearing in mind im from England who takes a real interest in American politics

Hi smullo, welcome.

I really don't think Hillary will be the nominee in 2008. Polarization is already a huge problem, and she's a very polarizing figure. I think they'll be going for someone with crossover appeal.

I don't like Arnold much, but he is actually moderate on many issues. I would prefer him to other Republicans, but think he may be too moderate to have the way to the presidency smoothed for him by this administration.

Welcome to able2know, smullo!

I'm not sure that the constitution can be changed that quickly, we have to ask one of the natives on that one.



Advice: don't watch "Demolition Man" again...

(Missing word! I'd prefer Arnold to MANY other Republicans... I don't think he's the absolute top o' the heap.)

I think it'll be Rudy for the Repubs.

Soz...I just heard McAuliff is still the pick to run the DNC. If he keeps Shrum around, don't you think Hillary's a shoe-in for '08?

smullo - add my welcome.

I don't think it's likely there will be a constitutional change in Arnold's political lifetime.

Whomever is nominated on the GOP side, it won't be Arnold.

Speaking as one of the natives, I'm sure Bigdice is right. It can't be amended that quickly, and that amendment just isn't going to happen.

Arnold won't get it and neither will Rudy. They are both pro-choice. That probably assures a third party split amongst present republicans and certain electoral loss. Jeb is possible. Frist is possible. Rice is possible.

An amendment would qualify viable candidates other than Arnold, for one, Madeline Albright, Clinton's Secretary of State. Her foreign birth aside, she is vastly more qualified for the presidency than Arnold and lacks the polarizing reputation of Hillary.

Nope.

Madeline Albright, that's interesting. I think she'd be seen as too old/ frail.
