The Unknown Candidates

It is well known that almost half of the country doesn’t like President Bush. It is debatable whether he really won his first election and he barely won re-election. However, we are in the year 2006 and does anyone know the frontrunner for president in the year 2008? Lets analyze the field of candidates and I will give you two dark horse candidate if you will who should run for president and would win in a landslide but might not run for president. And the contestants are: 

For the Republicans the leader right now is Senator John McCain. He ran in the primary against Bush but didn’t have the support of the strong conservatives in his party. McCain is a conservative Republican with moderate roots and I think he would be a great choice for president. He is a candidate who could really unite the country with his moderate positions, something the country desperately needs at a time when the nation is divided along north-south lines. 

A surprise candidate who might not run for president but definitely should is former mayor is New York City, Rudy Giuliani. In a weak field of possible candidates, Giuliani is just the candidate who can gain enough support to win. As a Republican candidate he would defiantly win the state of New York, a democratic stronghold since he was loved and revered by most people in New York as a mayor for eight years. He fought corruption and poverty and made New York City one of the best cities in the countries. He fought crime and made New York City a leading city in prevention of lowering of crime. As a Republican candidate he could win votes in the solid voting Southern states and win the election. He has moderate roots and could sway undecided votes. He is a strong candidate unafraid of a fight from Congress or any politician or country. He is intelligent and could definitely head our country in the right direction. He also has kept political ties by support President George Bush in his war on terror and actively has talks with the president. 

Takeaways
  • dark horse candidates include Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump
  • other candidates include Kerry and Hillalry and McCain

Ron Paul is the right candidate to win. Just look at his political history, its flawless. And I don't know of a better debater than him. His platform also makes more sense than any other candidate out there. I just wish more people would look into him.

John Edwards or Milt Romney...either would make a good president. Too bad they can't run together

Well, Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy at least twice, so I honestly question whether we want him in charge of the nation's economy. John McCain continues to kiss Bush's butt despite the Bush campaign spreading the vicious lies and rumors about McCain during the 2000 election, so therefore McCain's status as a maverick is questionable at best. Besides, he's been in lockstep with all of Bush's policies so it really would be the same thing as having Bush get reappoint--I mean re-elected again. Giuliani basically had no chance at the national stage before 9/11 and what was his advice to the country at large back then: Go out and shop and to prove that the terrorists haven't won. He's a man with no new ideas. Let's not forget Condoleeza Rice: A woman who was one of the prime architects of the Iraqi war. That should be enough to stop speculation about her being a viable choice to lead this country. Kerry is a loser, Hilary is moving way too far to the right for my comfort
