2008 Candidates Of The Week #1

[Rob]

For each candidate…

1.)   Will they run?
2.)   Can they receive their party’s nomination?
3.)   How would they do in the general election?
4.)   Who would win in a head to head dual between this week’s candidates?
5.)   What is your overall assessment of both candidates?

1. Clark- maybe. Giuliani- no.
2. Clark- yes. Giuliani- hell no.
3. Clark- decent chance. Giuliani- good chance.
4. Clark.
5. Clark- fair. Giuliani- fair.

[Rob]

Clark is a TERRIBLE candidate. And I mean terrible. Trust me, I could care less as I don't like either, but Clark has no chance in hell of being elected President of the US... he would lose to Guiliani by 20% (my guess is Guiliani would take all 50 states), he would lose to anyone with the slightest inclincation to seek the GOP nomination. He would probably lose to Orrin Hatch.

Come on. He's not exactly the greatest candidate, but a 50-state loss? Orrin Hatch beating him, of all people?

[Rob]

Anyway, Bob, who do you vote for in this situation?

Clark. Giuliani is a complete douchebag.

[Rob]

The south would really love a pro gay rights, pro gay marriage, pro-choice pro-pba Republican candidate.  Clark could winup picking up a bunch of southern states from the black vote along ebcause the white conservative vote will either vote for a 3rd pary or stay home

Yes, Giuliani would do horribly in the South.

[Rob]

Yes, Giuliani would do horribly in the South.

We always joke about Roy Moore making a run if the Republican candidate didnt sit to well with the base.  Well, this is one of those circumstances where he might actually run and do well.

Definitely. Giuliani would be murdered if Moore ran.

[Rob]

Just for the hell of it, a map (this is if Moore runs):



Clark wins 338-185, with Moore carrying Mississippi and Alabama for 15.

So anyways, feel free to disagree with me, point out ways I'm wrong, etc., but please keep in mind I'm not really a partisan hack... not a member of the RNC, not a Bush voter EVER, not a $$ donor. I did some work in the 2002 elections in SC, not too much in 2004.

It's great to see a real conservative. I never understood how right-wingers could support a big spender like Bush.
