If Colin Powell ran for president in the next election......
 

Do you think he would win?

9

no

no


i doubt that anyone associated with the Bush cabinet or administration would win

Nope

I doubt it.

No, but he wouldn't run anyhow.

The guy would no doubt be assasinated fairly fast even if he did make it in.

Kerry 2008 !

no

i will be voting libertarian in that election

unless he chooses as mexican vice president (as Dave Chappelle suggests for the first black presidential candidate)

It happened once...

Could happen again. rock:

i would have voted for him, but after this whole bush debacle, its no wonder he retired. i read somewhere that his aide said that his conference at the UN was the most humiliating moment of his life.

He stated he was going to be a four-year Secretary of State previously. His wife is of ill-health and has urged him not to accept anymore public posts.

Powell wouldnt run for office.

CONDI RICE 08!!

Fuck no...

My dads a total Bush-hater (kinda like all hippie parents - my dad goes on Bush rants in the car while listening to NPR) but says he thinks Colin is an awesome guy.

The way that the polital process in the US is set up makes it virtually impossible for any moderate (left-wing or right-wing) to get its party's nomination. That's why you see these candidates at opposite ends of the spectrum, either super liberal or super conservative, consistently.

I believe we'll never see good moderates like John McCain or Colin Powell get nominated to run.

I'm sorry, but I've never seen an ''uber liberal'' running for any office. The democrars arn't liberals, their just spineless, poll-watching, cowards who run to the middle when the election cycle comes around and don't even have a goal for the future.

You must have been born this summer then if you've never seen any uber-liberals run. McGovern, Dukakis, Mondale, and Dean--if you wanted to include Dean--weren't exactly moderate candidates.

LOL, Yeah they are real movers and shakers...

It doesn't matter if they are movers and shakers, you said you've never seen an 'ultra-liberal' candidate run.

They arn't Liberals. Dean may have said some things awhile back about the Republicans being all white and chistian but for the most part they are silent, and being a Liberal doesn't include being silent. It also doesn't include being scared to call yourself a LIBERAL.

The Democrats are so far from being ultra-liberal it's a joke to even use to the two in the same sentence let alone suggest that there acually are ultra-liberals in government offices.

Ted Kenedy?

You do realise for along time he held a Pro-Life stance, and voted for No Child Left Behind, he also supported the Patriot Act. He doesn't sound like much of an ultra-liberal.

dude, wtf

Edit: nvm touche

Democrats like that are very much ultra-liberal. I didn't say that Democrats as a whole are ultra-liberal.

Yes, I see now. Sorry I'm really tierd.
