Judge Judy or Mrs. Clause?
I just read that Nancy Pelosi's approval rating is less than 30%. Since she isn't (presumably) going to be majority leader until January of 07, I am not sure on what criterion this was measured, but if it is even close to the real public opinion then that is pretty sad. How can she be this popular when she really just entered the picture?
At this risk of being unpopular, I will go ahead and chalk her immediate unpopularity up to one single thing. She is a woman*. She hasn't done enough things yet to really be judged on anything else. When women climb that high they have to be assertive and that intimidates a lot of men. Even if they don't admit it, most men want women to be motherly and nice, or at the very least, not assertive. I am speculating here, but I think if I took 100 men off the street and took a survey that just simply said "check one: Judge Judy or Mrs. Clause" it would be 99 to 1 in favor of Mrs. Clause**.
And that is why if Hillary Clinton wins the Primaries then it will be a landslide for the republicans in 08'. Best of luck though Hillary.
BTW, I just heard Mayor Giuliani speak last Sunday night. It was good to hear someone who could potentially be the next president speak eloquently and get through a topic without appearing as though he kept losing and re-gaining his train of thought. Sometimes when Bush speaks it seems like as though someone is talking to him while he is trying to watch TV. Giuliani also has that sweet lisp which I think gives him some character. I don't think he has formally announced his candidacy, but I hope to God he runs.
McCain seems like a good pick as well. That guy has a lot of integrity and he seems brave enough to go against the grain for things he believes in. Good for you sir! I like that and may vote for him for just these reasons, even if he supports some kind of kitty-eating bill.
Bayh also seems good, although I think I am biased because he is a Indiana man.
I dunno. It is a long way off and I will make an opinion as things converge.
*If you think I am being sexist then you are trying to hard. I am just making (fair) observations about the public. These views do not necessarly represent the views of the station.
** maybe this isn't fair, because we all know Judge Judy is an android created by Lucifer.

If the democrats have half a brain they will not run hilary. Much of their support comes from poor, uneducated types. These people tend to be racist and sexist.
I fully expect hilary to have the full support of the idiots I mean democrats.
Also note that I hate republicans assveal.
I would definitely vote for McCain and possibly julie onny. Otherwise, it's 3st party for me!

Bush also is brave (stubburn) enough to go against the grain for things he believes in an look where we are now. McCain is cool though.
I like how Giuliani handled the 911 crisis. Maybe he could handle the Iraq crisis as well.

You are partially right about Pelosi. However, the fact that she is a left-wing liberal cook from San Francisco doesn’t help her much. Most of the country doesn’t align with or respect the general believes and morals that emanate from SF.
McCain is good on some thinks, but stinks on others. If you have conservative values, you’ll like half of him. Remember back to how much fun people made of Ronal Reagan for being so old? He was the oldest elected president at Age 69. McCain turned 70 this past August and if elected president, would not take office until he was 73. And if he served two terms, would be 80 when he left office. I hope he picks a damn good VP candidate.
Rudy is probably the likely republican candidate, but conservative Christians won’t care much for a few socially liberal stances (ie. abortion).
Mitt Romney is probably the strongest conservative on the scene. He’s Mormon – which will no doubt open a can of worms. He must be pretty appealing…after all he was elected as Governor in Massachusetts. They don’t get much more blue than the illustrious senators Ted Kennedy and John “F-ing” Kerry.
I think Bayh is a VP candidate.
