[Placebo]

Poll question: Which Party Will Capture The White House In 2008?

Unless there is serious voting reform, I fear it will be another Republican.

1. Jeb'll win over a neoconservative Alabamian, but Tammany Hall'll

say it means we have to move rightwards

2. Slow down Cowboy!!!

You're WAY too far ahead of yourself. The issue now is the 2006 congressional elections. If Democrats continue to lose congressional seats, you can say bye-bye to the Democrats as a political party. They will follow the Whigs into the political graveyard.

3. The machines are rigged to elect Jeb Bush

The only question is who is the VP.

[TheFarseer]

4. It all depends on who runs

I think it could go either way, we just have to pick a better candidate than they do. It will be interesting to see the midterm elections if we can get some momentum going our way.

5. I'm not even thinking about 2008 right now so I didn't vote.

[Yupster]

6. It's pretty much a 50-50 proposition

How can you predict it now before you even know who's running.

7. if there is true voting reform, the Democrats . . .

if there is no voting reform (which is likely, given a Republican Congress), the Republicans . . . simple as that . . .

8. We will loose by a larger % in 2008

IF WE DON'T FIX THE MACHINES!!!!!

It doesn't matter who we run and who they run. As you see a bumbling idiot can win as long as he has the machines fixed.

:think:

9. The "votes" are counted already.

[Jack Bone]

10. I guess the Green Party didn't make the cut...

[nickshepDEM]

11. 2008 is the Democrats election to lose. (n/t)

[drdtroit]

12. You seriously don't think

there will ever be a "real" election here again, do you????

[Senior citizen]

13. Um, why two choices for what is essentially one

big corporate party under Bush with tax breaks for the rich and nothing much for anybody else at all?

Apart from the Black Congressional Caucus, there appear to be, judging from the voting history, less than a dozen liberal or progressive Democrats in Congress. The rest are DINOs.

If you walk like a Democrat, talk like a Democrat, and vote for everything Bush wants, in my book you're a Demopublican, a Republicrat, or a DINO. If there were really two parties, almost half the Congress would be voting against Bush priorities.
