Quote from dddooo:
Well, among the democrats I would prefer Biden but it's probably too late for him to surge. Hillary would be my second choice, I can barely tolerate her but at least she is better than Barack Hussein Obama. I did warm up to Hillary a little when she acknowledged that NAFTA may have been a mistake. But her health care plan sucks and the position of all democrats on immigration terrifies the crap out of me.
At any rate I have no doubt in my mind that the next president will be a republican so I am paying more attention to the republican race. Among the republicans I have a marginal preference for Huckabee but I'd be comfortable with Rudy, Romney and McCain. Don't make any mistake about it, I disagree with them on most issues, especially economic ones but anyone of them will be way better than Bush. Huckabee does appeal to me as a populist but even though he is a preacher, in order to get the nomination he'll have to sell his soul to the [corporate] devil, which makes his populism a moot point.
