Out of the “fine” crop of congressmen, governors, mayors, state legislators, public faces, actors around in the present United States who might you realistically see as your ideal presidential candidate and what would your ideal ticket look like?

Click help and then click posting to learn how to resize any image.  Otherwise you have to host it (see how the map from the site is hosted on uselectionatlas but the California one is on my server?).

John McCain, Bill Frist, Liz Dole, Marc Racicot would all make excellent choices as far as I'm concerned. Trust, strength of leadership and character, taxes, and intelligence are all reasons why I like these four individuals. And I would definitely trust McCain with spending.

Bring it to the tech thread in the Presidential 2004 Election board.  Basically if you want an image from your computer you have to host it on a server.

McCain/Giuliani or McCain/Rice. The ticket I expect in 2008 is Giuliani/Rice.

That could be the ticket in 2008 if Kerry loses, however Edwards will really need to be the VP pick in 2004 to be a "shoe-in" for the Dem nomination in 2008, if he is not others such as Rendell, Feingold, Landrieu, Warner and Bayh may well all be running for the nomination from strong positions...

In the end however i think that Edwards/ Ford would be a powerful ticket and for a number of the candidates i have mentioned Ford would be a great VP choice...

Bobby Jindal/ Rick Santorum is arguably just as lol-worthy.
