Thanks. ...Hey Joe,<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I am feeling some better. Thanks. Sorry for being so miserable sounding here lately.<BR/><BR/>Right now, everyone seems to like Guiliani on the Republican side, but I'm not convinced. I don't think he really holds to enough Republican ideas to be "our" candidate. I honestly don't see much difference between him and the Democrats that are running, other than he's afraid of change.<BR/><BR/>From what I've observed of the candidates so far, I'm actually beginning to like Mike Huckabee. However, I'm inclined to believe that John McCain would probably be the best pick. He's conservative but governs more moderately, and he has a history of being somewhat bipartisan. He also has a lot of experience and a record for getting things done. That being said, however, I do feel he's doing a horrible job running in the primaries right now. He just doesn't seem to have the energy behind him that he had back in 2000. But yeah, I'm sort of starting to look a little more closely at Mike Huckabee. He seems to be about the only one that looks like he's just being himself and telling it how he sees it. And he actually does have some good ideas.<BR/><BR/>On the democrats side, I sort of like John Edwards. He's the only one whose really pushing against NAFTA and he heavily supports universal healthcare and making college more affordable. He has a lot of good ideas that would help everybody across the board. In all honestly, he might be my favorite pick out of all of them right now.Brendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248268499428066786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319921527453210584.post-10656353231971183572007-12-01T16:07:00.000-06:002007-12-01T16:07:00.000-06:00I hope this politics post is a sign that the perso...I hope this politics post is a sign that the personal stuff is no longer getting you down. :)<BR/><BR/>Who is the Republican's best hope?
