I really hope Fred Thompson doesn't get his party's nomination. Here's a guy who quit the Senate to be on Law & Order, then quit Law & Order to try and become president. And this is a guy that people want to vote for? What the fuck!? If he were somehow elected president, who's to say he wouldn't just get bored and quit THAT job too?

His campaign slogan should be: "FRED THOMPSON - BECAUSE AMERICA LOVES A QUITTER"

Actually, it might work for Rudy. Romney has a lot of things working against him. He's a failed senatorial candidate and one term governor, so he's not exactly a seasoned politician. Also, he offered his lieutenant governor and the state's Republicans absolutely no help in their bid to retain the governor's office. Also, he keeps saying he wants to run American like a corporation. And with all the corporate scandals that have come to light over the last 8 years, that's a terrible fucking idea.

On top of that, he's Mormon and the majority of Americans are too goddam ignorant to see Mormonism as anything other than "that thing where you can have multiple wives", even though such pratices were halted in 1890.

Rudy has eased up on one issue thus far: guns. He also didn't really say anything to the NRA about guns, other than "things have changed since 9/11". He didn't say, "Hey if you stupid fucking rednecks want the right to buy assault rifles, by God, I pledge to sign legislation to help you get those assault rifles."

If and when Rudy starts to waver on his pro-choice stance, that's when you know he's truly sold out.

Giuliani is the pragmatic choice and I think a lot of people in the GOP are starting to realize that. Bush's approval rating has been awful for quite awhile now, which makes it clear that America doesn't want another neocon and the centrist voters that swing elections aren't going to vote for one. Giuliani is not a favorite candidate of the Christian Right. He's Catholic for one, and he's a lapsed one at that. The Christian Right would rather have Thompson or Huckabee, but it's doubtful that either of them could win a national election. Giuliani, on the other hand, could. This creates an interesting dynamic. Usually candidates have to bend to fit the party mold. Giuliani is in a position where the Party needs him more than he needs them.

I still say Hulk Hogan should've run in 2000, as the oval office promos would've been awesome. And any country insane enough to vote in an aging roidboy to run shit, would be one other countries would want to leave alone. Still... "Whatcha gonna do, Bin Laden, when the red white and blue and the largest arms in the world run wild on yoooooou?!" as he rips his suit off and shit. I'd have run right out to join the army.

At Wrestlemania 20, Vince McMahon and Donald Trump pledged to put a wrassler in the White House in 2008. And yet here we are, barely a year away from the election and there's no wrestler candidate.

Magically Delicious. But I doubt it would work a second time

Sure it would. You just need someone better than Fred Thompson. Here's a list of actors who I would vote for if they ran for president:

Bill Cosby
Clint Eastwood
Will Smith
A reconstituted bionic stem cell perfect clone of Ronald Reagan
Bruce Willis

That is all. I would not vote for Jack Nicholson. Motherfucker couldn't even keep us safe from trading cards.

Also good choices. What, no Jack Bauer?

No. Kiefer Sutherland is Canadian. Jack Bauer is 100% American. But he's also not an actor.
