My best guess for the 2008 nominees: Gore (D) & Hagel (R).

[Alexander]

I'm guessing (and hoping) that Gore will choose Feingold and Hagel will choose Romney to be their respective running mates.

They seem most likely to win at this point simply by the nature of both men holding off on a run at this point.

1. I like the way you think!

Run, Al, run.

Feingold is a great choice, but I'd be happy with almost anyone as VP if Gore runs (as long as his name doesn't start with "L" and end with "man."

[David Dunham]

2. We need Gore He will be the strongest candidate for the fall

[MissWaverly]

3. Oh, I hope so, he is really the best candidate

Hillary and Bill have already had the WH for 8 years, enough is enough, people do not
want a campaign based on fallout from the Monica scandal.

5. Exactly.

[Lobster Martini]

4. Wouldn't bet on Hagel

History indicates that Republican dark horses do not come on strong at the finish line, and Giuliani's lead is overwhelming. No idea who would be his running mate, but I would bet on it being someone from the South to balance the ticket, and I wouldn't rule out Fred Thompson.

6. I agree that Gore isn't followed by a question mark...

He will run and get the nomination! :woohoo:

8. GOSH DANG I sure hope so!!!!!!

RUN AL RUN!!!! WE NEED YOU SOOOOOO BAD!!!!

[kimmerspixelated]

7. With as much as I like Feingold

Wouldn't Boxer be a good VP as well? Especially with her push for getting all the signatures for Gore for the Global Warming hearing NEXT WEEK!!!( Can't wait to see if it's going to play on C-span!!)

[NDP]

9. If that's the case we will end up with another Republican President. All Independents would

vote for Hagel in that matchup. Well at least 3/4 of them.

[Joanne98]

10. I think the thug ticket will be Romney/Brownback....

I'm hoping ours will be Gore/Edwards!

[NDP]

12. If Hagel runs, the nomination is his to lose. The war will "fade away" with Bush, and the Cons will

be looking for another "leader" of their party. When they see that Hagel has Vietnam service and 100% ratings from "most" Conservative groups, they will fawn over him. If Romney is the nominee, his running mate might be Jeb Bush. Romeny is the Bush family's pick.

[Catchawave]

11. MSM is hoping for a "subway series" campaign:

Clinton v. Guiliani

Otherwise, I'm in the Edwards/Richardson camp :toast:
