Obama / Biden will be the Demo nom. His fresh viggor with an older VP will make for a SUPER ticket. The Demos want more than ever to win. A carismatic black man and an older more experienced white guy VP will be tough to beat

I'm on the record with the pretiction this date 1-17-06.

Now then guys and gals if you don't buy my prediction....Why?.......and what is yours? Come on now stick your neck out. You my recall I called the Demo win in the house within 4 votes and the Senate right on.

McCain / Palin will be the GOP ticket

No kidding??????? Sounds like a great ticket.

Well, it could be far worse, ya know...

Like w negating the 22nd Amendment by "executive order" and steals another election...

Or worse, Cheney could become president...

But, IMO, middle America is not ready for both a woman and a black man runing on the same presidental ticket...one on the ticket on a long bet, maybe, but definately not both.

Edwards I like his working class background the laywer part does not trill me.

John won't let me quote Archie but the line used on CBS TV that EVERYONE understood as a joke was, Archie: "Well Meathead thats what I call a balanced ticket a W** a M** and a J**."

The idea is to PREDICT who the canidates will be! Come on now give it a try. Go beyond "it won't be or I don't like." Make a prediction.

Obama just lost some ground today with the news that as a youth he attended a Madrassa school and was raised in the Islamic faith. Edwards VP a second time?

Obama is a local Illinois treasure......they will have to keep him for themselves.

He just doesn't have the experience or the right stance to make it in the next election.

Actual on the record predictions so far. The guys with real testicular fortatude are:

SCWESTUSMC: Clinton/Obama 2 Balls
RONCO : Edwards/Someone 1 Ball

Predictions anyone? On the record???????

real testicular fortatude

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS CRAP? YOU TWO SOGGY CASHEWS, WITH DRY ROASTED PEANUTS?

I think that Hillary still carries too much baggage from her days as First Lady which will make her the GOP choice to run against...her on the ticket presents them with their best opportunity for them to reunite their power base and maintain control of the White House.

In fact, I believe that she is such a liability in that regard that I don't even see her on the ticket at all.

But, I see that Edwards is starting out more in the middle this time and I can see the Dems pairing him with Obama...I think that is what the party movers and shakers are looking at. The question is whether or not the unknown and untested but outspoken Obama can stand toe-to-toe and trade body shots when it comes to the inevitable Rovian style scorched earth GOP campaign.

Edwards, Obama on one ticket my geuss.

The next I predict, nominee of the Demoncrats, to go down to defeat:
I waited on her announcement!
From PeoplePC news:
Saturday, January 20, 2007
NEW YORK - Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton launched a trailblazing campaign for the White House on Saturday, a former first lady turned political powerhouse intent on becoming the first female president. "I'm in, and I'm in to win," she said.

In a videotaped message posted on her Web site, Clinton said she was eager to start a dialogue with voters about challenges she hoped to tackle as president - affordable health care, deficit reduction and bringing the "right" end to the Iraq war.

"I'm not just starting a campaign, though, I'm beginning a conversation with you, with America," she said. "Let's talk. Let's chat. The conversation in Washington has been just a little one-sided lately, don't you think?"

Clinton's announcement, while widely anticipated, was nonetheless an historic moment in a fast-developing campaign that has already seen the emergence of a formidable black contender, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

In an instant, Clinton became the most credible female candidate ever to seek the presidency and the first presidential spouse to attempt to return to the White House in her own right. Her husband, Bill, served two terms as president from 1993 to 2001.

"I am one of the millions of women who have waited all their lives to see the first woman sworn in as president of the United States - and now we have our best opportunity to see that dream fulfilled," said Ellen Malcolm, president of EMILY's list, which raises money for Democratic women who run for office.

With her immense star power, vast network of supporters and donors and seasoned team of political advisers, the 59-year-old Clinton long has topped every national poll of potential Democratic contenders.

But her controversial tenure as first lady left her a deeply polarizing figure among voters, leading many Democrats to doubt Clinton's viability in a general election.

In a detailed statement posted on her Web site, Clinton sought to acknowledge and bat away such doubts.

"I have never been afraid to stand up for what I believe in or to face down the Republican machine," she wrote. "After nearly $70 million spent against my campaigns in New York and two landslide wins, I can say I know how Washington Republicans think, how they operate and how to beat them."

Recently, Clinton has clashed with many in her own party over the Iraq war.

Clinton supported the 2002 resolution authorizing military intervention in Iraq. She has refused to recant her vote or call for a deadline for the removal of troops. She has announced her opposition to President Bush's troop increase in Iraq and has introduced legislation capping troop levels.

"A woman candidate could find it easier to run in peacetime, rather than wartime, but Senator Clinton's tried to position herself as a serious person on national security," said Andrew Polsky, a presidential historian at Hunter College. "But that means she's staked out difficult position on the war that won't make it easy for her to get Democratic nomination."

With a $14 million campaign treasury, Clinton starts with an impressive fundraising advantage over the rest of the Democratic field. But Obama has started to secure fundraising commitments from New York, California and other deep-pocketed, Clinton-friendly areas, pushing his New York colleague to accelerate her entry in the race.

Her creation of a presidential exploratory committee, announced Saturday, allows her to raise money for the campaign; she already has lined up campaign staff.

In tone and substance, Clintons' videotaped announcement recalled her first Senate race in New York in 2000, where she conducted a "listening tour" of the state's 62 counties before formally entering the contest.

She promised a three-day series of Web chats with voters beginning Monday and prepared a campaign swing late this coming week through the early voting state of Iowa, while a visit to New Hampshire was in the works.

On Sunday, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was also set to enter the Democratic field; if elected, he would be the first Hispanic president.

For the short term at least, the outsized candidacies of Clinton and Obama were expected to soak up the lion's share of attention.

Obama, who launched his own presidential committee on Tuesday, praised Clinton as a friend and colleague.

"I welcome her and all the candidates, not as competitors, but as allies in the work of getting our country back on track," he said in a statement.

Other Democratic contenders include former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack; Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd; Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, the party's 2004 vice-presidential nominee. Delaware Sen. Joe Biden has said he will run and planned to formalize his intentions soon. Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the party's 2004 standard bearer, is also contemplating another run.

An influential player in her husband's political career in Arkansas, Hillary Clinton leapt to the national scene during the 1992 presidential campaign when husband and wife fought to survive the scandal over Gennifer Flowers' allegations of a lengthy affair with Bill Clinton when he was the state's governor.

The Clintons appeared together on CBS' "60 Minutes" to talk about their marriage - Hillary Clinton's first famous "Stand by Your Man" moment.

As first lady, Clinton headed up a disastrous first-term effort to overhaul the health care insurance system. There was more controversy as the couple battled allegations of impropriety over land deals and fundraising, missing records from her former Arkansas law firm and even her quick and hefty profits from an investment in cattle futures.

There was no letup in the second term. The president found himself denying - then admitting - having a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. As he battled impeachment and possible removal from office, his wife's poll numbers rose.

Her own political career began to take shape in late 1998 when New York Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan announced he would not seek re-election to the Senate seat he had held since 1976.

The campaign trail was not always friendly. For almost every cheer, there was a shouted "Go home, Hillary!" and the emerging Republican theme that carpetbagger Clinton simply wanted to use New York as a launching pad for a later presidential run.
